New blog post on reviewing policies! 2020.emnlp.org/blog/2020-05-1… Special focus on spurious reviews: this time no paper should be rejected primarily for not beating SOTA, for non-English work, for being a resource paper, etc. /1

(1/2) For the first time in history (since its original showing in 472 BC) a drama (The Persians by Aeschylus) will be live-streamed from the magnificent Ancient Theater of Epidaurus. thenationalherald.com/culture/arthro…

initial attempts: very impressive QA results (check out the coref in the gates questions!) but also has some glitches.

A Survey on Recent Approaches for Natural Language Processing in Low-Resource Scenarios This survey is a great starting point for learning about low-resource NLP, common methods, and open challenges. Work by Jannik Strötgen Michael A. Hedderich Dietrich Klakow arxiv.org/abs/2010.12309

Excited about our new paper on estimating the causal effects of linguistic properties! E.g., does writing an email politely cause faster responses? To be presented at #NAACL2021 (arxiv.org/pdf/2010.12919…) W/ @rpryzant Dallas Card Victor Veitch 🔸 Dan Jurafsky 🧵(1/5)

highlight of my The Earth Institute post doc has been working with Columbia University students- celebrating meeting each other IRL for the first time yesterday after a hard virtual year! Congrats to Tejit/ Johanna/Dorothee on graduating ColumbiaCompSci thanks for helping me start my lab!

ASTRA: Self-training with Weak Supervision by Giannis Karamanolakis,Subhabrata Mukherjee et al. Combines rules, unlabeled data and limited labeled with self-supervision. Great results for text classification. 👩‍💻 github.com/microsoft/ASTRA 📝aclanthology.org/2021.naacl-mai… #python #nlproc #naacl21 #DataScience

I recently did a Q&A with ColumbiaCompSci talking about my research experience and projects in #ML and #NLP: cs.columbia.edu/2021/voices-of… Extra: you will also find a photo advertisement of my hometown in Greece :-)

Are you #PhDone (or close)? Would you like to live in the Washington, DC area and be part of the *exciting* Department of Computer Science - George Mason dept, working on Machine Translation and #nlproc for low-resource languages? I'm looking for a postdoc (ideally starting in 2022) -- do reach out if interested!

Our WALNUT benchmark for semi-weakly supervised learning is coming out very soon! #NAACL2022 #NLProc

Check out Natural Instructions v2, a benchmark with 1600+ #NLProc tasks and their natural language instructions. Excited to be part of this effort!

Congratulations Gianni's Karamanolakis Giannis Karamanolakis on successfully defending his PhD thesis "Efficient machine teaching frameworks for NLP" Defense slides are here: drive.google.com/file/d/1ez51lH…
