#TADA2026 is now up on lea.ac! Full schedule, filterable by people you follow, a custom feed, and more! (This is not part of the official TADA organization, just an experiment. Try it out and let us know what you think! Also a nice way to follow along virtually if you can't attend in person!)

A screenshot from Lea showing the conference page for TADA. The program tab is selected, and presentations are filtered by "People I follow." Each resulting presentation includes the title, presenters, location, time, a topic tag, and the person (or people) presenting whom I follow.

Agentic tools are often how we build software now, so why not annotation tasks too? The Potato development team is excited to release potato-skill, which teaches coding agents like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to design a full annotation task backed by Potato, an open-source annotation tool.

Peer review was one of the most-discussed topics at #ACL2026 .

What is going on?? I did some digging...
