All the best at @ groningennlp
My PhD thesis is now available online! It is called "Finding Structure in Language Models" and presents the work I have done in the past 4 years on the intersection of NLP, interpretability, and linguistics.
I'll defend it on December 10, streamed here: jumelet.ai/phd

Beautiful work! Are you still in Amsterdam now and then? Would be great to hear a talk on this work here!
Today we had the pleasure to host @michaelwhanna.bsky.social from @amsterdamnlp.bsky.social for a seminar on his work w/ @amuuueller.bsky.social to interpret incremental sentence processing in language models. Thank you for joining us Michael!
Last week, we organized the workshop "New Perspectives on Bias and Discrimination in Language Technology" 🤖 @uvahumanities.bsky.social @amsterdamnlp.bsky.social
We're looking back at two inspiring days of talks, posters, and discussions—thanks to everyone who participated!

The NLP labs starter pack is here! go.bsky.app/LKGekew Let us know if you want to be added!
Great! Let's hope that @chrmanning.bsky.social, @catlai.bsky.social and @andreasvc.bsky.social, a.o., create the institutional accounts [for StanfordNLP, EdinburghNLP and GroningenNLP, respectively] (and perhaps their handles can be on the list as placeholders until that time).
After a great conference in Boston, CCN is going to take place in Amsterdam in 2025! To help the exchange of ideas between #neuroscience, cognitive science, and #AI, CCN will for the first time have full length paper submissions (alongside the established 2 pagers)! Info below👇

Work in progress -- suggestions for NLP-ers based in the EU/Europe & already on Bluesky very welcome!

✨ Do current neural speech models show human-like linguistic biases in speech perception?
We took inspiration from classic phonetic categorization experiments to explore where sensitivity to phonotactic context emerges in Wav2Vec2 models 🔍

Today is the start of the British AI Safety summit. As do many other AI researchers, I have mixed feelings. Here are the main worries about the AI regulation process in the UK, EU and US that are currently heavily discussed among AI researchers worldwide: 1/
