Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham. I am recruiting a student to work on data-centric NLP. Reach out if you are interested in e.g.: active learning, curriculum learning, adversarial data collection, and evaluation for NLP and LLMs.

How much does data impact the evaluation of NLP models? How can we measure data distribution in an efficient and multi-dimensional way? How to predict OOD generalizability? . Check our paper with @mattlease - "Benchmark Transparency", accepted at NAACL (

Preprints should be: 1) accepted papers or 2) papers that will never be peer reviewed. 1) and 2) should be clearly marked. If you are scared someone will steal your research - implement registration (e.g. OSF). If your research will be irrelevant in 3 months - rethink it.

Reading a rebuttal where the authors have relied heavily on LLMs to "polish their writing". 2 page rebuttal with 0 meaningful content. Should I lower the score as they wasted 30 minutes of my time or give them an extra point for making me laugh on a Friday?
