I was not prepared for camping in the rural side. A boomer came up to me, asked about my caste and then asked if I am looking to marry a girl????!

Kamala Harris in linguistics class: You think that language fell out of the syntax tree? 😂😂 Language exists in the context-free grammar of all in which it lives.

The call for ACL workshops is out! Deadline: October 1st, 2024. Note: We have slightly changed what we ask for in the proposal, so please take a look at the requirements! Chairs: Terra Blevins Christophe Gravier Alexis Palmer Kenton Murray & Saab Mansour aclweb.org/portal/content… #nlproc

I badly need some awesome ideas for desk setup and office setup, so I can survive this PhD.

Defense ✅ Thanks again to my fantastic advisor (Joyce Chai Michigan SLED Lab) and committee (Lu Wang, Jason Corso, and Richard L. Lewis)! #PhDone #PhinisheD

🚨🚨NAACL is holding an ALL-MEMBER VOTE whether to change its name from "North American Chapter" to "Nations of the Americas Chapter" of the ACL; acronym stays the same: NAACL. If you're a current NAACL member, look for an email from [email protected]. PLEASE VOTE!!!

📣 I am looking for a new Ph.D. student! 📣 The position is part of a DASHH Interdisciplinary Helmholtz Graduate School project on (multimodal) #LLMs for laser operations with me (Data Science Hamburg Lab Universität Hamburg) and Henrik Tünnermann from DESY (Deutsch). Deadline: October 20th! Feel free to reach out! 🚀🛸💥 dashh.org/application/ph…
