@aclrollingreview.bsky.social Hey! I have some non-academic co-authors whose openreview account might not be approved in time for the current ARR deadline. How should I proceed in this case?

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

If you're finishing your camera-ready for ACL or ICML and want to cite co-first authors more fairly, I just made a simple fix to do this! Just add $^*$ to the authors' names in your bibtex, and the citations should change :) github.com/tpimentelms/...

Inline citations with only first author name, or first two co-first author names.

Aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty are clear-cut concepts, right? ... right? 😵‍💫 In our new ICLR blogpost we let different schools of thought speak and contradict each other, and revisit chatbots where “the character of aleatory ‘transforms’ into epistemic” iclr-blogposts.github.io/2025/blog/re...

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."
