Thrilled to share our latest work on agentic AI in radiology, with an outstanding interdisciplinary team.
🤖 LLMs have made building #agents more feasible than ever before. We put together a review why, and how such #LLM-based agents and related LLM-driven workflows with more control/less autonomy can be great for 🫁 #radiology 1/

4134 submissions have been submitted to the ARR August cycle, a 14% increase compared to the ARR October 2025 cycle corresponding to EACL🔥. #EACL2027 in Athens is likely to be the biggest EACL ever 👀 #NLProc @ReviewAcl

Our #EMNLP review experience was frustrating. •2 reviewers never engaged with our rebuttal •1 reviewer said our concerns were addressed and would be reflected in the final score—but nothing changed. •The meta-review simply summarized the reviews and ignored our rebuttal

So, a genuine question: why do we spend days writing rebuttals if they aren't meaningfully considered? #EMNLP2026, #ACLARR

We are aware that it is no longer possible to post Official Comments on ARR May 2026 submissions, even though the Author Reponse period runs until July 14. This is being investigated and it will be fixed. Authors do not need to submit Author-Editor Confidential Comments.

New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders. Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbers—called activations—encode Claude’s thoughts, but not in a language we can read. Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text.

What if AI-generated CT reports weren’t black boxes? Our new agent shows every step w/ improvements in accuracy, robustness, and faithfulness.

I find really bizarre that main conference acceptance rates at top #NLProc venues (*ACL, EMNLP) hover around 19-22%, while top ML venues (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML) consistently accept 25-30% or more. This is problematic for our community for two main reasons ⬇️
