Yay, #award.

On my way to #eacl2026 @eaclmeeting.bsky.social – carrying the international recognition mark of conference attendees.

Good news! #NLProc methods cannot detect deception! @aswathyve.bsky.social's paper got accepted to the Computational Linguistics Journal.

"What if Deception Cannot be Detected? A Cross-Linguistic Study on the Limits of Deception Detection from Text"

Preprint arxiv.org/abs/2505.13147

#LREC2026 #NLProc papers from
@bamnlp.de @uni-bamberg.de ! See you in Palma!

A new interdisciplinary workshop at #ICWSM at the intersection between psychology and #ai/#nlproc

Interested in real world probability (estimates) and how LLMs and humans misinterpret them? Want to do a PhD in #NLProc? Please get in touch and apply in this awesome project lead by @seanpapay.bsky.social (as part of @bamnlp.de at @uni-bamberg.de)

The BamNLP Group at the University of Bamberg has the following papers and contributions at The 19th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2026) in Rabat, Morocco. Moiz Rauf, Sean Papay, Georg Brosinsky, Ira Stoll: Medical Summarization in Practice: Design, Deployment, and Analysis of a Clinical Summarization System for a German Hospital (Industry Track). Yanran Chen, Lynn Greschner, Roman Klinger, Michael Klenk, Steffen Eger: Emotionally Charged, Logically Blurred: AI-driven Emotional Framing Impairs Human Fallacy Detection (Main Conference). Johannes Schäfer, Janne Wagner, Roman Klinger. Appraisal trajectories in narratives reveal distinct patterns of emotion evocation. (WASSA Workshop) Sabine Weber, Lynn Greschner, Roman Klinger. Says who? argument convincingess and reader stance are correlated with perceived author personality. (WASSA Workshop) In addition, BamNLP is involved with the conference organization: • Roman Klinger co-organizes the 5th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment & Social Media Analysis, together with Jeremy Barnes, Valentin Barriere, Orphée De Clercq, Debora Nozza, Célia Nouri, and Pranaydeep Singh. • Sabine Weber is one of the Diversity and Inclusion Chairs. • Lynn Greschner and Roman Klinger propose a "Birds-of-a-Feather" session on the topic of Emotion Analysis and Generation.

We would like to share with you the contributions that we make to the @eaclmeeting.bsky.social in Rabat in March. See you all there to talk about #NLProc!

Second call for papers for our #LREC2026 workshop "Computational Affective Science". If you studying #NLProc and #Affect and are interested in bringing these areas closer together, please consider submitting!
casworkshop.github.io

@aaclmeeting.bsky.social Any news when the proceedings will be available? Would be nice to have a look at them before the conference starts.

We wish you a relaxing holiday season! (and no reviewing obligations until next year) 🎄

Coorganized by Christopher Bagdon; Krishnapriya Vishnubhotla; Kristen A. Lindquist; Lyle Ungar; Roman Klinger; Saif M. Mohammad.

Interested in #emotions and natural language processing #NLProc? Then our new workshop is for you: We invite submissions for the 1st Computational Affective Science Workshop (at #LREC 2026). casworkshop.github.io/2026/fcfp/

🌏 #WASSA2026 features a Special Track on Multilinguality and Social Bridges between High- and Lesser-Resourced Languages/Communities

We invite work exploring how linguistic diversity and social dynamics shape affective and subjective language processing

🗓️ Deadlines: Dec 17 (direct) & Jan 2 (ARR)

I visited @uni-bamberg.de this week to give a Bamberg Center for AI lecture, and had the opportunity to meet many brilliant researchers, thanks for the invitation @bamnlp.de, @bamdial.bsky.social and BaCAI committee

Tomorrow I'll give my inaugural lecture @uni-bamberg.de – if you don't know what language technology #nlproc is, and want to know what @bamnlp.de works on, please feel invited! If you can't make it at 6pm to Weberei 5 in Bamberg ("Erba Campus"), send me a message and I'll share a streaming link.

.@barbaraplank.bsky.social visited @uni-bamberg.de to present her perspective on #labelvariation in natural language processing. A very inspiring talk, from which our #NLProc groups @bamnlp.de and @bamdial.bsky.social as well as groups working on other modalities learned a lot. Thanks, Barbara!

Call for Papers Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment & Social Media Analysis

#wassa, one of the most established #nlproc workshops in sentiment, subjectivity, emotions is coming back in 2026. We'd love to see your new work on the topic in Rabat next year.

Received a paper submission invitation from Latticescipub (www.latticescipub.com) – "Article Submission is open ... if ... plagiarism of the article is less than 15%"

I somehow like their openness about this issue in their journals. #science #publication #fakescience

If you think I missed something I that I would find interesting, let me know :-). I'll include it.

If you share #NLProc research interests with me, my conference report for @aclmeeting.bsky.social #ACL2025 might be interesting for you – I highlight the papers that I personally found particularly relevant for our own research.

Happening now: Sean Papay presents his work on CRFs for distant interactions in X5, 223 :-). #xllm #nlproc #acl2025

But still, let's not focus on explicitly including syntax information...

Analysis von activation patterns in LLM do not match linguistic structure.

Keynote by Mark Johnson on the changing role of linguistic structure. #LLM shouldn't work.... #acl2025 #nlproc

Today I am in the XLLM workshop (on linguistic structures and structured modeling), a topic which has been a bit underrepresented in this #acl2025 #nlproc

Happening now, talk to me :-) #nlproc #acl2025

Today and tomorrow: a large number of workshops and colocated conferences. We still have three papers to present. Today I'll present in the poster session in REALM, tomorrow Lynn Greschner presents in BioNLP and Sean Papay in XLLM.
