- We're surveying researchers about name changes in academic publishing. If you've changed your name and dealt with updating publications, we want to hear your experience. Any reason counts: transition, marriage, cultural reasons, etc. forms.cloud.microsoft/e/E0XXBmZdEP
- The survey takes around 5-10 minutes to complete. Whether you succeeded in changing the names, you're still fighting publishers, or you gave up. Please share with anyone who's been through this.
- Reposted by Pranav AI'm on the job market looking for CS/ischool faculty and related positions! I'm broadly interested in doing research with policymakers and communities impacted by AI to inform and develop mitigations to harms and risks. If you've included any of my work in syllabi or policy docs please let me know!
- I'm conducting research on how ACL's peer review policies impact NLP research quality, career trajectories, and inclusivity within our community. I am running a survey, which would take around 7-10 mins to complete: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/j2jr9nH3X0 I would really appreciate insights from y'all!

[Not loaded yet] - I am at the data story workshop hosted by @martinmundt.bsky.social where we talk about AI as cake! We redefine Yann LeCun's famous analogy beyond just learning types. From ingredients to selling - we break down how AI really works and who gets left out.
- This has happened to me so many times. I got assigned 6 papers to review within 3 days, and received threats from PC and AC that I would be flagged if I don't complete them properly. And after all this stress, I found out that each paper has received 5-6 reviews. So angry and upset with ARR rn.
