With #EMNLP2026 just around the corner, a reminder of the EMNLP papers from Sheffield NLP!
If you're attending, do check out our papers and say hi to the authors! Looking forward to seeing everyone at EMNLP!
We’ve been locked out of this account for a while😅 but we’re back, with some good news! 🎉
We have a bunch of new Sheffield NLP papers at @emnlpmeeting @aaclmeeting CIKM and INLG 📚
Congrats to everyone involved! 👏
More details below 👇

Our lab advances the frontiers of natural language processing by architecting intelligent systems that actively learn, reason, and evolve through multi-dimensional interactions, driving toward a future where language technologies seamlessly support every aspect of human life.
Today, in our @SheffieldNLP seminar series, we welcome Sean MacAvaney @macavaney from @TerrierTeam at University of Glasgow to give a talk entitled "Re-thinking Re-ranking".

Although I cannot attend #ICLR26 in person, feel free to post any questions via the ICLR online chat or send me emails about our mechanistic context attribution work. Huge thanks to our collaborators: Chen Chen, @YuchenHu98, @Serena_pancakes, @wangxieric and Prof Emine Yilmaz

We’re excited to share our latest papers accepted at @aclmeeting, @SIGIRConf, and beyond 🎉
From LLM reasoning and evaluation to multilingual NLP and fact-checking, there’s a lot we’ve been working on!
Check them out 👇
More details and paper links coming soon 🔜

👉In “Beyond Top-e: Simulation-Based Interactive Evaluation for Query Suggestions” (with @JorgeGabin_ & @wangxieric ), we move from static assumptions to interactive simulation, using LLMs to model how users actually select query suggestions. #SIGIR2026
For our Sheffield NLP (@SheffieldNLP) seminar this week, we are delighted to have Chuan Meng (@ChuanMg) from the University of Edinburgh, sharing his research experience and his recent publication on revisiting text ranking in deep research.
A day to welcome Ingo and Libo @iFromm @Bertha0103 to Sheffield @SheffieldNLP for their OMINO UK tour on “Fake Science” and information overload in Academia.
It is great to see that our work, the next phase of Scientific fact checking is recognized. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/37311…

🚨 Happy to share some recently accepted papers from our group.
They cover a range of topics, from reasoning and hallucination mitigation to dialogue evaluation, bias, humour generation, and more 📚✨
If you’d like to take a look, the arXiv links are in the poster.
Now the time for our second keynote speaker, Johanne Trippas @JTrippas, sharing her perspective on “Conversational Information Systems for a Proactive Future: Beyond Ten Blue Links” in our ProActLLM workshop.
#proactllm @cikm2025
Earlier today, we had a very successful panel discussion on proactive conversational information seeking with active discussions from both panel members and audience.
Thanks to the panel members for their support: @ppsunrise @NegarEmpr @ydeng_dandy @merrafelice @ChuanMg
Deng Yang @ydeng_dandy, our first keynote speaker of our ProActLLM2025 workshop is presenting his talk entitled: Towards Human-centered Proactive Conversational Agents. Come join us in Room 205B.
#proactllm @cikm2025
I will be at CIKM 2025 from Nov. 11 to 14, presenting two papers between 17:45 and 19:30 in Room E (3F). Will also co-lead the organisation of ProActLLM2025 proactllm.github.io/. Also comes with the aim of recruiting PhD students (see previous posts). DM for meetup & chat. – at Seoul, Republic of Korea
