ABDNCompSci may become dormant in September 2026, since I am retiring and I do not know if anyone else will take over ABDNCompSci
Welcome to @Yulongchen1010 , who has just joined Aberdeen CS as a new lecturer in NLP!

I am becoming an editor (EiC) at TACL (Transactions of ACL) journal. Not what I expected to be doing in retirement, but I am a strong believer in journals as the best way to present research, and I want to help TACL become an even better venue for publishing NLP research.

As Professor Ehud Reiter retires, we’re celebrating a University career that helped define how machines communicate.
A pioneer of Natural Language Generation, his work laid the groundwork for modern AI - shaping how systems decide what to say, how to say it, and how to adapt to different audiences.
From academia to industry through Arria NLG, and from healthcare to accessibility, his research has delivered real-world impact for decades.

Congrats to my student Jawwad Baig for passing his PhD viva! Topic was “Data-to-Text NLG Feedback for Safer Driving”. Jawwad did his PhD part-time (ie, evenings and weekends while he worked fulltime) and remote (lives in England), which is very tough, but he still completed

What % of the NLP papers measure their impact in the real world? This paper proposes an "impact evaluation" of NLP models or systems for real-world usage, changing the research culture of NLP to focus more on real-world
impact and less on SOTA-chasing: doi.org/10.1162/COLI.a.18

My student Adarsa Sivaprasad is looking for people who have lived experience of IVF, to help in evaluating a new AI chatbot which helps people understand IVF outcome predictions.

*RESEARCH* is a language that requires years of training for student researchers to be proficient in speaking (presenting ideas), reading (papers), writing (code and papers), and listening (to feedback), which is the same as if you learn a new language. But does Generative AI speak *RESEARCH*, and can it help student researchers learn this language faster and better? Join our tutorial on #AI4Science at #EACL 2026 on March 28 from 09:00 to 12:30 (CET) to find out, together with @yufanghou @egere14 @anne_lauscher @YongCaoPlus

Very glad to share the good news! Our mechanistic study of context attribution in RAG is accepted at #ICLR2026!
Very honoured to receive 🏆 Best Paper Award from @COLM_conf XLLM-Reason-Plan Workshop! We sincerely appreciate this valuable recognition from the organising committee and reviewers. We also appreciate the computational grant support from @Google for this work!
Congratulations to Mohammad Alkhalefi for passing his PhD viva with minor corrections! His thesis is on Leverage semantic features to enhance instance discrimination representation learning

Aberdeen CS is hiring a new lecturer for its "Joint Institute" with South China Normal University. Basically you would be based and do research in Aberdeen, but would be expected to go to China a few times a year and teach at SCNU.
Closing 28 Nov
