I felt honoured and was very happy to get an Outstanding Contribution in NLG award from @siggen_acl !

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. 👉 abdn.ac.uk/news/25619/ #AI #NLG #Aberdeen #Research #Innovation

We are back at ECCV 2026! Our workshop will feature work in the beyond Euclidean space and we are accepting full paper submissions as part of our springer proceedings! Openreview link will open shortly but in the meantime check our call for papers out! @eccvconf

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

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: doi.org/10.1162/COLI.a.18

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. qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.qualtr…

Congatulations to Iniakpokeikiye Thompson, who passed his PhD viva yesterday with minor corrections! Thompson's thesis is on developing an app to encourage safer driving in Nigeria. ehudreiter.com/2025/09/03/en…

*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

Aberdeen CS is hiring a new lecturer, who will be expected to do some teaching in our new Mumbai campus. Closing date is 30 March abdn.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies/NC…

I start my last-ever course today, MSc course on Natural Language Generation. My last lecture (on NLG evaluation) will be on 20 April. Hard to believe...

Very glad to share the good news! Our mechanistic study of context attribution in RAG is accepted at #ICLR2026!

Congratulations to Mohammad Alkhalefi for passing his PhD viva with minor corrections! His thesis is on Leverage semantic features to enhance instance discrimination representation learning

Welcome to Aleksi Peltonen, who has just joined Aberdeen CS as a Lecturer in Cybersecurity!

Aberdeen CS is hiring a new lecturer for its "Joint Institute" with South China Normal University. Basically you would be based and do research in Aberdeen, but would be expected to go to China a few times a year and teach at SCNU. Closing 28 Nov abdn.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies/NC…

We are recruiting for two lecturer posts in Computing Science to join our lively Joint Institute: abdn.ac.uk/ncs/departments/s… Happy to answer any informal enquiries but all applications should be submitted using the University's online system: abdn.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies/NC… #TNE #AI

🥳Our 1st Workshop on Human-Centric LLMs for Science still welcomes non-archival submissions until November 14. Details are at sciprodllm.github.io/2025/cf… We have a great lineup of invited speakers: @gneubig, @annargrs, @RobertTLange, @mbodhisattwa

Congratulations to Ruizhe for his best paper award!

For any students interested in studying Computing Science at the University of Aberdeen, come along to our open day on Saturday 4th of October to meet our experts and tour the campus! Register your interest here: abdn.ac.uk/study/open-days/u…
