This year, the 27th International Conference on Yue Dialect will be held online (hosted by Ohio State University). We will reassess what Guangfu dialects are, as well as identifying exclusive Guangfu features using a new approach we have developed.

I gave a talk about our novel classification of Yue dialects and then moved on to finding the most characteristic features of the Guangfu dialects. I am glad to hear questions from an audience who showed great interests in our work.

Our (Jelena Prokic & I) abstract “Using Question-Answering Machines to Increase Human Scientific Understanding”, has been accepted for presentation at the workshop “Physics & question-answering machines: artificial scientific understanding?” at Lorentz Centre. shorturl.at/qJX59
