How to read this. A percentage point (pp) is the change in what fraction of that year's accepted papers mention the keyword in their title — conference growth is already divided out. Titles measure what authors chose to call their work, not what the work is about, so naming shifts can look like interest shifts: between 2025 and 2026 “llm” rose while “language model” fell, which is one topic being abbreviated rather than two opposite trends. Phrases nested inside another (“large language model” within “language model”) count the same papers twice, so only the stronger-moving one of each pair is listed.
