Our dataset, Semi-structured Explanations for Commonsense Reasoning (COPA-SSE), has been accepted to #LREC2022! HUGE thanks to my co-authors, Benjamin Heinzerling, pkavumba, and Kentaro Inui / 乾健太郎 🙌 J'ai bien hâte de vous voir à Marseille 😄 (espérons...!)

It's kinda ridiculous to have these million dollar LMs and then NLP researchers are like: the current SOTA prompt for recipe generation is "I want to cook a yummy meal" but we found that average recipe tastiness increased 1.3% if you append "#potatosalad" and a cow emoji

There is nothing "sudden" about the increase in validation accuracy. The apparent sudden increase is just an artifact of the x-axis log scale. A linear scale reveals a steady increase. That's still a really cool finding, but "grokking" is a bit of a misnomer

ITT: an OAI employee admits that the text-davinci API models are not from their papers. Until OpenAI actually documents the connection between the models in their papers and the models released via APIs, #NLProc researchers need to stop using them to do research.

The deadline for AACL-IJCNLP tutorial proposals is on August 14th AoE. We are interested in introductory as well as cutting edge half/full day tutorials. Introductory tutorials can be non-CL/non-NLP but interesting to the community. 2025.aaclnet.org/calls/tutorial…
