I'm in Suzhou to present our work on MultiBLiMP, Friday @ 11:45 in the Multilinguality session (A301)!
Come check it out if your interested in multilingual linguistic evaluation of LLMs (there will be parse trees on the slides! There's still use for syntactic structure!)

I’m very happy to share that my latest paper on the 𝐚𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, tested on models trained under CDL data vs ADL data , has been accepted for an 𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 at the upcoming edition of 𝐂𝐨𝐠𝐒𝐜𝐢, which will take place at the end of July in Rio de Janeiro.💃

New work to appear @ TACL!
Language models (LMs) are remarkably good at generating novel well-formed sentences, leading to claims that they have mastered grammar.
Yet they often assign higher probability to ungrammatical strings than to grammatical strings.
How can both things be true? 🧵👇
📢Out now in NEJLT!📢
In each of these sentences, a verb that doesn't usually encode motion is being used to convey that an object is moving to a destination.
Given that these usages are rare, complex, and creative, we ask:
Do LLMs understand what's going on in them?

Our paper has been accepted to #EACL2026 main conference!
Together with @jumelet.bsky.social and @arianna-bis.bsky.social, we study the effect of target language typology on the difficulty of state-of-the-art neural machine translation.

👀 Look what 🎅 has broght just before Christmas 🎁: a brand new Research Master in Natural Language Processing at @facultyofartsug.bsky.social @rug.nl
Program: www.rug.nl/masters/natu...
Applications (2026/2027) are open! Come and study with us (you will also learn why we have a 🐮 in our logo)
