At this year's ACL business meeting, it was wonderful to see so many attendees - a sign that this community cares. As president, I wanted to use the occasion to give some insights into ACL - the premier organization for computational linguistics, founded in 1962. (1/5)

We have bigger models. Bigger conferences. Have our questions become bigger, too? That was the question I posed in my Presidential Address at #ACL2026 in San Diego. (1/6)

What a grand opening of the new AI-HUB at LMU Munich. I had the honor to give the keynote on "Foundations of AI". It was great to see the breadth of AI research at LMU, looking forward to see all exciting work coming out of the AI-HUB

Great talk on Human-Centered NLP for Cross-Lingual Communication by @marinecarpuat.bsky.social at @mainlp.bsky.social with so many good points: centering usefulness of MT for users, nuanced differences in translation and how to make them explicit, in broad: rethinking MT. Thank you for the visit! ☀️
