I'm honored and humbled that Jonne Sälevä, Duygu Ataman (@_dataman_) and I received the best paper award at @aaclmeeting for our work on evaluation in multilingual/multitask benchmarks. I never expected an eval paper could make it this far! More info here: https://t.co/PJEjcog1gD

@ChantalShaib Great work! Which poster session?

[Duygu Ataman @_dataman_]

If you're interested in the Ph.D. Program in Cognitive Science at the School of Informatics, METU the applications are now open to start in Spring 2026. To indicate your interest in working with me you can mention it in your cover letter.

I am the 129th author🎉🎉🎉

We managed to include Azerbaijani, Kyrgyz, and Turkish examples, thanks to @_dataman_ and her team.

Excited to announce the call for papers for the Multilingual Representation Learning workshop #EMNLP2025 https://t.co/dROLMbD1AP

with @_dataman_ @linguist_cat Jiayi Wang @fdschmidt @tylerachang @hila_gonen

and amazing speakers: Alice Oh, Kelly Marchisio, & Pontus Stenetorp

[Duygu Ataman @_dataman_]

Excited to hold the first weekly meeting of my research group @MetuCogSci. Today our visiting researcher Kavsar Huseynova shared insights on how neural reasoning pathways can be traced in LLMs.

@phylo_GENETIC @LeonDerczynski But it doesn't apply to all categories

[Duygu Ataman @_dataman_]

@phylo_GENETIC @LeonDerczynski As long as there's still a track left to submit traditional computational linguistics papers then technically that track could help not compete with more AI oriented papers

@oflazer @sigturk The workshop and SIGTURK executive committee have been different to ensure this doesn't happen. I am sorry to hear decisions are not transparent in the community. Please publish your meeting report and ACL report so we can also be informed about internal decisions.

[Duygu Ataman @_dataman_]

@oflazer @sigturk Sigturk has 200 members. Did you ask all of them for help organizing? I wish you made it clear you didn't have time to organize in advance also the organizing committee and the members. The workshop benefits the community significantly and it will be sad to miss the opportunity.

[Duygu Ataman @_dataman_]

@marikgoldstein Makes sense.

[Duygu Ataman @_dataman_]

@inceppption If you're interested please send me a CV and a short statement on your research experience and interests and we can discuss a potential project

[Duygu Ataman @_dataman_]

I still have open full-time or part-time research scholarships for Master's or PhD students who are interested in studying topics around efficient learning and optimization methods for language modeling and applications.

They show that many losses (contrastive, supervised, clustering, ...) can be derived from a single loss defined in terms of neighbors distributions.

Scholarships are open to students at other universities in Turkey and abroad but would require relocation during the time of the study.

Please get in touch if you are interested and looking for a funding opportunity.
