Proud and excited to share that today I've been appointed as a full professor! 🎉 This is far from a solo achievement. I owe a huge thank you to many people and especially to @AnetteMFrank and #ManfredPinkal, who provided constant support and encouragement along this long way. 🙏
At #EMNLP2026, waiting for Pascale to reveal that the whole keynote has been AI generated.

Want to see this guy in action again? Come to the Gender Bias in NLP (@genderbiasnlp ) poster session tomorrow, Aug 1, at 2pm! Joint presentation with PhD student @mnfanton, who is looking for a postdoc position soon. Come say hi!
Finally on my way to #acl2025nlp as well, where I will co-chair this year's @conll_conf. My team will also share results on clarifying discourse relations (ACL Findings), classifying Spanish dialects (ACL-SRW) and a teaser for our 2026 WSD task at @SemEvalWorkshop. Come say hi!
Just dropped a new post on BlueSky! Follow me there for the latest on #conll2025 and other #nlp/#nlproc updates. Already following? Please RT across the blue sky. bsky.app/profile/microth.bsk…
While I am still on X, do I know people who would be willing to serve as emergency area chairs or reviewers in the current ARR cycle (mostly semantics)?
(In other news, you will find me here in the future: bsky.app/profile/microth.bsk…)
For anyone interested, here is the program of the CoMeDi workshop at COLING: comedinlp.github.io/#program (assuming that @barbara_plank will get a speaker permit 😉)
TIL: Invited speakers for workshops in the UAE need a speaker permit. If this requirement is not fulfilled, the whole workshop will be shut down. It's a very liberal host country, as long as you comply with their rules.
