Iryna Gurevych, computer science professor at TU Darmstadt, has been elected as a member of the Academia Europaea. With this distinction, the pan-European academy honors her outstanding contributions to Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing (NLP). The Academia Europaea brings together leading scientists and scholars from across Europe to promote research, education, and interdisciplinary exchange. Gurevych heads the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Lab at the Department of Computer Science at TU Darmstadt.

We are happy to announce that 10 papers authored or co-authored by UKP members have been accepted by the 63nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) in Vienna. Congratulations to everyone involved!

We are happy to announce that 8 papers authored or co-authored by UKP members have been accepted by The 2025 Annual Conference of the Nations of the Americas Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Congratulations to everyone involved!

We are happy to announce that 12 papers authored or co-authored by UKP members have been accepted by The 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) in Miami. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Iryna Gurevych is the first female scientist from Germany and the first German university professor to receive the prestigious Milner Award from the British Royal Society. The TU Darmstadt researcher is being honored for her significant contributions to Natural Language Processing (NLP) and AI, which »combine a deep understanding of human language and cognitive abilities with the latest paradigms in machine learning«, as the world's oldest independent scientific academy announced in London. Gurevych heads the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Lab at the Department of Computer Science at TU Darmstadt.
