Excited that our ICML 2026 workshop Statistical Frameworks for Uncertainty in Agentic Systems got accepted 🎉
@icmlconf.bsky.social
#icml2026

We want to bring together people thinking about uncertainty and agentic systems.

Results for the shared task now publicly available (huggingface.co/spaces/FEVER...) Lot's of progress compared to our baseline, a lot left to do! Reminder to submit your #FactChecking papers to the #EACL2026
@FEVERworkshop
by 19/12 here: openreview.net/group?id=eac...

remember to submit papers on topics related to fact-checking, including the previous shared tasks on AVERITEC, FEVEROUS and FEVER. Deadline 6th of October (ARR) and 19th of December (direct submissions). Get keen!

Excited to announce the 9th
@FEVERworkshop
collocated with #EACL2026 in Morocco: fever.ai/index.html with a new shared task on #factchecking image-text claims with evidence from the web using the AVerImaTeC dataset: arxiv.org/abs/2505.17978 Deadline 2nd of December! And...

Invited speaker Andreas Vlachos of the University of Cambridge

We are excited to welcome @andreasvlachos.bsky.social to ORIGen @ @colmweb.org for his invited talk "Toward Constructive Conversations"! #LLMs #AI #NLP #HCI

Many thanks for inviting me!

Looking forward to this year's edition! With great speakers: Ryan McDonald Yulan He @vn-ml.bsky.social @antonisa.bsky.social Raquel Fernandez @annarogers.bsky.social Preslav Nakov @mohitbansal.bsky.social @eunsol.bsky.social Marie-Catherine de Marnefffe !

Title of paper "Causal Estimation of Tokenisation Bias" and schematic of how we define tokenisation bias, which is the causal effect we are interested in.

A string may get 17 times less probability if tokenised as two symbols (e.g., ⟨he, llo⟩) than as one (e.g., ⟨hello⟩)—by an LM trained from scratch in each situation! Our new ACL paper proposes an observational method to estimate this causal effect! Longer thread soon!

The First Workshop on Large Language Model Memorization will be co-located at @aclmeeting.bsky.social in Vienna. Help us spread the word!

Happy to announce that our work "A Bayesian Optimization Approach to Machine Translation" was accepted to NAACL 2025!

Griffin Scholars (very smart Ukrainian undergraduates from top unis) are looking for research internships in maths or CS.

(many of them can't return to Ukraine for the summer).
