Happy to hear that we had two papers from DeepSPIN @LUMLIS1 accepted as spotlight at #neurips2020!

⚠I am recruiting for a PhD position in ML for NLP⚠ Apply by Nov 19 here: ivi.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/… Extra context on my website: vene.ro/jobs.html. DM or email if you have any questions.

And on Wednesday Gonçalo will be presenting our paper “Efficient Marginalization of Discrete and Structured Latent Variables via Sparsity" with timorous bestie 😷 Wilker Aziz. 1/N

Congratulations to ELLIS student Dr. Gonçalo Correia, who successfully defended his thesis "Learnable Sparsity and Weak Supervision for Data-Efficient, Transparent, and Compact Neural Models" at Instituto Superior Técnico (Lisbon ELLIS unit) with merit and distinction!

I am thrilled to share our new preprint! We provide a comprehensive study on hallucinations 😵‍💫 in NMT models and set solid ground on different fronts (detection, correction at test time, etc.) for future research! arxiv.org/abs/2208.05309 w/ Lena Voita & Andre Martins (1/9)

4 of my PhD students (Gonçalo tsvetomila toneva @bpopuw Pedro Martins) graduated in the last 4 months! Here's a spontaneous picture of 3 of them celebrating Pedro’s defense yesterday. I am so fortunate to work with such an amazing team!! DeepSPIN Instituto Superior Técnico

Super proud of my former student Gonçalo!
