Keynote 1:
@geoffreyhinton
Addresing a central question: Do LLMs understand what they are saying?
Making the comparison with humans:
- Does making mistakes implies you don't understand anything?
- Don't we also confabulate/hallucinate? (albeit differently)

The acceptance rate for the
#acl2020nlp
Main Conference was 25.2%. This is based on 779 accepted papers and 3,088 submissions (after removal of desk-rejected papers and withdrawals).
Up over 1000 followers, but surely there are more
#nlproc
people on Twitter than that! One especially good reason to follow this account: from 2020 onwards, we won't be switching from ACL to ACL:
@aclmeeting
will become ACL 2021 once ACL 2020 is done with it!

[1/4] We look forward to celebrating 60 years of the ACL next month. For HALF of the ACL's existence, our community has benefited tremendously from the efforts of Knut Hofland in managing the famous corpora-list. We were saddened to hear that the list will be terminated in May.
As a result, no anonymity period will be required for papers submitted for the Feb. 1, 2024 TACL deadline or the Feb. 15, 2024 ARR deadline (). The submissions themselves must still be fully anonymized. (2/4)
