New #NLProc paper! @seanpapay.bsky.social and I propose a constraining method for decoding from LLMs that combines the advantages of grid beam search (fast) and DFA-constraining (not biased towards satisfying easier constraints earlier): "fair grid beam search": www.romanklinger.de/publications...

Tomorrow, #lrec2026 starts (for us)! On Tuesday, we are coorganizers of the Social on+NLPSI workshop, on Saturday of the CAS workshop. In between, we have a set of papers across various sessions.

Good news! #NLProc methods cannot detect deception! @aswathyve.bsky.social's paper got accepted to the Computational Linguistics Journal. "What if Deception Cannot be Detected? A Cross-Linguistic Study on the Limits of Deception Detection from Text" Preprint arxiv.org/abs/2505.13147

Interested in real world probability (estimates) and how LLMs and humans misinterpret them? Want to do a PhD in #NLProc? Please get in touch and apply in this awesome project lead by @seanpapay.bsky.social (as part of @bamnlp.de at @uni-bamberg.de)

We would like to share with you the contributions that we make to the @eaclmeeting.bsky.social in Rabat in March. See you all there to talk about #NLProc!

The BamNLP Group at the University of Bamberg has the following papers and
contributions at The 19th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association
for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2026) in Rabat, Morocco.
Moiz Rauf, Sean Papay, Georg Brosinsky, Ira Stoll: Medical Summarization in Practice:
Design, Deployment, and Analysis of a Clinical Summarization System for a German
Hospital (Industry Track).
Yanran Chen, Lynn Greschner, Roman Klinger, Michael Klenk, Steffen Eger: Emotionally
Charged, Logically Blurred: AI-driven Emotional Framing Impairs Human Fallacy
Detection (Main Conference).
Johannes Schäfer, Janne Wagner, Roman Klinger. Appraisal trajectories in narratives
reveal distinct patterns of emotion evocation. (WASSA Workshop)
Sabine Weber, Lynn Greschner, Roman Klinger. Says who? argument convincingess and
reader stance are correlated with perceived author personality. (WASSA Workshop)
In addition, BamNLP is involved with the conference organization:
• Roman Klinger co-organizes the 5th Workshop on Computational Approaches to
Subjectivity, Sentiment & Social Media Analysis, together with Jeremy Barnes, Valentin
Barriere, Orphée De Clercq, Debora Nozza, Célia Nouri, and Pranaydeep Singh.
• Sabine Weber is one of the Diversity and Inclusion Chairs.
• Lynn Greschner and Roman Klinger propose a "Birds-of-a-Feather" session on the
topic of Emotion Analysis and Generation.

Tomorrow I'll give my inaugural lecture @uni-bamberg.de – if you don't know what language technology #nlproc is, and want to know what @bamnlp.de works on, please feel invited! If you can't make it at 6pm to Weberei 5 in Bamberg ("Erba Campus"), send me a message and I'll share a streaming link.

.@barbaraplank.bsky.social visited @uni-bamberg.de to present her perspective on #labelvariation in natural language processing. A very inspiring talk, from which our #NLProc groups @bamnlp.de and @bamdial.bsky.social as well as groups working on other modalities learned a lot. Thanks, Barbara!

Choose-a-chair fair at the computer science faculty @uni-bamberg.de – we presented our courses and theses topics to our students (with Sean Papay, @multilingual-s.bsky.social and @romanklinger.de).

A group of three people is posing in front of a research poster titled "Fundamentals of Natural Language Processing." The poster contains sections on research focus, research methods, and possible thesis topics. The individuals are standing in an indoor academic or conference setting with other attendees visible in the background. One person is wearing a casual t-shirt with cartoon illustrations, another is in a button-up shirt, and the third is dressed in a dark sweater. The setting includes modern lighting and furniture, with a red couch and a yellow chair visible on the left side of the image.

Today, Eyke Hüllermeier gave a talk in our BACAI lecture series, on uncertainty quantification in machine learning. The main message was the difference between inherent randomness and a lack of knowledge: aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.

Two people on a stage. Left is Eyke Hüllermeier. Right, currently talking, is Ute Schmid, introducing Eyke. In back, the title slide of the presentation is visible.
