I started compling a list of state health departments that are on BlueSky. I'm going to put them in a starter pack. Maybe I'll go ahead and do one with what I already have. As I find more, I can do another starter pack.

Listening to the #acl2025 keynotes I feel anew the urgency of holding space for compling/NLP research outside the AI hype bubble.

and they complied
it is incredibly morally degrading to see just how much they readily, hungrily complied (this is my field these are my colleagues)

The compling group at UT Austin (sites.utexas.edu/compling/) is looking for PhD students!
Come join me, @kmahowald.bsky.social, and @jessyjli.bsky.social as we tackle interesting research questions at the intersection of ling, cogsci, and ai!
Some topics I am particularly interested in:

Jessie and I have been working with UNT CompLing on a new #conlang research project! They're analyzing conlang lexicons to determine to what extent they're the same/different from natlangs. If you'd like to learn more (and participate!), check out this introductory video:

Started as a teaching stream assistant prof yesterday at UTM, going to teach Ling, Comp Sci, and CompLing! Always wanted to mainly teach, so it's pretty much my dream job.

today in CompLing was one of my never-fail demonstrations.
1) Ask ChatGPT who Josef Fruehwald is.
2) Ask it to list some of his notable publications.
The papers are never ever real, but have plausible bibliographic information.

I haven't always taught about classes in my CompLing courses, but it's increasingly clear to me that I oughta. Hopefully this kind of thing will be approachable?

Do people have recommendations for a CompLing textbook that's more approachable than Jurafsky & Martin? We're talking advanced students who may *not* have stared a mathematical equation in the face for years.
