Congatulations to Pakayal Boar for successfully defending his PhD thesis on Privacy by Design in Collaborative Machine Learning: Towards Adaptive, Context-Aware Privacy Deployments and Decision-Level Protection!

As Professor Ehud Reiter retires, we’re celebrating a University career that helped define how machines communicate.

A pioneer of Natural Language Generation, his work laid the groundwork for modern AI - shaping how systems decide what to say, how to say it, and how to adapt to different audiences.

From academia to industry through Arria NLG, and from healthcare to accessibility, his research has delivered real-world impact for decades.

Congrats to my student Jawwad Baig for passing his PhD viva! Topic was “Data-to-Text NLG Feedback for Safer Driving”. Jawwad did his PhD part-time (ie, evenings and weekends while he worked fulltime) and remote (lives in England), which is very tough, but he still completed

[Ruizhe Li @liruizhe94]

Really happy to share a good news! Two papers are accepted by #ICML2026! Many thanks for all my collaborators!

What % of the NLP papers measure their impact in the real world? This paper proposes an "impact evaluation" of NLP models or systems for real-world usage, changing the research culture of NLP to focus more on real-world
impact and less on SOTA-chasing: https://t.co/3Ti5vUgdgs

My student Adarsa Sivaprasad is looking for people who have lived experience of IVF, to help in evaluating a new AI chatbot which helps people understand IVF outcome predictions.

*RESEARCH* is a language that requires years of training for student researchers to be proficient in speaking (presenting ideas), reading (papers), writing (code and papers), and listening (to feedback), which is the same as if you learn a new language. But does Generative AI speak *RESEARCH*, and can it help student researchers learn this language faster and better? Join our tutorial on #AI4Science at #EACL 2026 on March 28 from 09:00 to 12:30 (CET) to find out, together with @yufanghou @egere14 @anne_lauscher @YongCaoPlus
