Social media impact measurement is something I am planning to do empirically: like measuring follower counts vs review scores; follower counts vs cites etc.

This is a good point, yeah. We discussed this when we were designing the survey and arrived at this sentiment as we want to understand how different communities approach towards social media.

I'm conducting research on how ACL's peer review policies impact NLP research quality, career trajectories, and inclusivity within our community. I am running a survey, which would take around 7-10 mins to complete: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/j2jr9nH3X0

I would really appreciate insights from y'all!

I'm conducting research on how ACL's peer reviewing policies impact NLP research quality, career trajectories, and inclusivity within our community. Your insights—whether you're a seasoned reviewer, early-career researcher, or anywhere in between—are invaluable.
The survey takes 7-10 minutes and covers topics like review quality, reviewer assignment, and accessibility barriers. All responses are confidential and will help inform evidence-based improvements to our peer review processes.

🔔 My paper w/ @ninamarkl.bsky.social and @bjoernross.bsky.social is out: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We surveyed TikTok users on motivations for using phrases like "le$bean". Primarily associated w/ topics that are moderated on SM, but also desire to express community + be playful.

I don't care if soy jerky is tsp (travelling salesman problem) based. Even NP-hard problems can cause cultural appropriation.

Most people who’ve known me more than 30 minutes will have heard me rant about how AI for social good is a corporate branding attempt at excusing AI.

But the fact that the AI for Good summit censored @abeba.bsky.social is beyond disgraceful.
