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: https://t.co/Zis7Xm5TZ6)

For anyone interested, here is the program of the CoMeDi workshop at COLING: https://t.co/mGJITSL7wf (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.

We published data and starting kits for the CoMeDi shared task(s)! My favorite: predicting disagreements in word-in-context annotation (subtask 2). For more info, see https://t.co/GDDLF8fx2M!

Sexual harassment is a horrible impediment to academic research, shutting out talented researchers and slowing scientific progress. What can we do? I believe we're not helpless; we can improve our communities through practical actions. Take a look:
