Time for some major personal updates. I'm delighted to announce that I graduated! Next up: I'll be joining UCLA as an Assistant Professor in January! Please reach out if you're interested in joining the Coalas lab ( @CoalasLab ) as a PhD student or Postdoc 🧠

I'm very happy that I could give my first talk to the CA Meeting on Psycholinguistics #CAMP3 community who provided extremely useful feedback and comments. I presented empirical evidence that aligns with the hypothesis that production expectations modulate contrastive inference.

Communicating uncertainty is crucial in news, e.g., is the suspect definitely or only maybe guilty? Determining a reader's guilt perception from news can advance effective communication - but it's hard. We introduce SuspectGuilt: a richly annotated corpus of crime reports.

This work is so cool! TL;DR: If you're trying to assess image alttext quality for BLV users, you can't rely on a context-free method like clipscore because it ignores the communication context/goal :-) they release BLV+sighted alttext assessments !

@AndrewLampinen That's a cool connection! The insertion of "shoulders" could definitely de-noise the interpretation since one usually doesn't sit on the "shoulders" of a horse. "Back" can apply to both but might be more frequent with people and therefore help as well.

What do people use here as pdf editors/annotators? I find Preview a bit cumbersome in the way highlighting and adding notes works. I then switched to Highlights but there are just too many bugs especially when editing old/scanned PDFs. I mainly need it for "active" paper reading.

@tallinzen I’ve been wondering about that, too. We’re talking about an age range in which people have the right to vote, drive cars, even buy weapons at some places. This suggests to me that undergrads should be treated and judged (but also excused and heard) like any other adult.

@skeptikantin @garicgymro @adelegoldberg1 I think a separate issue here is that audience members don't know whether the speaker is looking at them and don't backchannel through their facial expressions whether they understood, are listening,... I find that almost more off-putting than not seeing them.

@LizBonawitz @TomerUllman I share this intuition.I could also imagine that it originated from sundials, where the measurement is not very accurate.Then you would just differentiate 9, 10 or “in between”. Starting from this “half” might have remained as reference as the point being farthest away from 9&10.

@Dr_Semantic That sounds fun! One take: Possibly because asking a question not only depends on my desire to ask but also on the situational appropriateness,... which could have passed? Maybe some politeness/permission issue as well? (Similar to “Can you give me” not being about ability.)

Stay strong, German negotiators. According to @JosephJEsposito , "any deal Elsevier does with them becomes the de facto deal for the entire world." - So let's hope.
