This has been a desideratum since the day we first published this model -- I'm so happy Patrick figured this out!
I used to be astonished that John Keats wrote everything by 26yo (and still am) but now newly in awe to learn that late Beatles (“let it be” etc) were 29?!
Just a testimonial: potato 1.0 is amazing and I use it all the time for annotation. Excited to see what’s in 2.0!

That DHS/ICE and anyone up or down the chain could describe this murder victim as a “domestic terrorist” is utter depravity.

New paper to appear at EACL 2026 main conference, and it's now up on arxiv: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.17536. The character limit here is insane, so I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves. We put together a new dataset for conversational role attribution & thread disentanglement.
Models are now expert math solvers, and so AI for math education is receiving increasing attention.
Our new preprint evaluates 11 VLMs on our QA benchmark, DrawEduMath. We highlight a startling gap: models perform less well on inputs from K-12 students who need more help. 🧵

📢 CfP for #CHR2027 is out!
Submissions on all aspects of computational humanities research welcome; all details available here:
2027.computational-humanities-research.org/cfp/
And yes, CHR2027 will take place a little later than usual. So you *could* start later… but we suggest starting now!

And for my own research corner, I’d definitely encourage those working in computational social science/cultural analytics to consider it.
This program brought together such a wonderful group of ~30 PhD students for two weeks at Berkeley last year with backgrounds in sociology, information, law, computer science and more — same idea but in Oxford next summer; apply by Feb 2 if you’re looking to make connections across fields
