We are having our midterm review meeting. Our ESRs are presenting their exciting work.

A successful meeting us over. Kudos to all our early stage researchers for their great work. Keep going!

Many thanks to Massimo Melucci, and Benyou Wang for inviting me to give a talk at Padua QUARTZ ITN, and for being such great hosts. These days were really productive, with several ongoing ideas for possible collaborations.

What is QUARTZ? Why did our Early Stage Researchers apply for the project and what are their expectations? What are they working on? We created some videos where we let our ESRs speak - please check out mediaspace.unipd.it/channel/Quartz… #informationretrieval #quantumIR #quantumtheory

We had great meetings at the University of Copenhagen with inspiring keynotes by Peter Ingwersen and Isabelle Augenstein as well as great presentations by our early-stage researchers about their work.

naacl2019.org/blog/best-pape… Our paper with Qiuchi and Massimo titled "CNM, a interprerable Complex-valued Network for Matching", which is ispired by quantum theory, won the best explainable NLP paper in NAACL 2019, while BERT won the best long paper. Thanks all. QUARTZ ITN

We have an open position for an Early Stage Researcher in our QUARTZ project (fixed term until 31 December 2020) - please see euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/467646. Please spread the word!

QUARTZ will be at the next London Text Analytics meet-up hosted by Signal AI! Our ESRs will give an overview of their work on quantum-inspired information access and search. meetup.com/textanalytics/…

Great London Text Analytics meetup Signal AI where our ESRs presented their work and listened to some interesting talk. Always good to see what’s different in industry. Thanks for your hospitality, Signal & Dyaa Albakour !

Congratulations Sagar Uprety, well done!

Two papers have been accepted in #aaai2021. Both papers introduce novel modality fusion approaches, exploiting the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics for human language analysis. Big thanks to my colleagues and supervisors for their contributions! QUARTZ ITN

A little ad hoc QUARTZ reunion in Southampton a couple of days ago. Good to see that they are all doing well! (Ingo Frommholz @[email protected], Haiming Liu, Dongchen Wang, Amit Kumar Jaiswal)
