"Semantic divergence" (= how a "parallel" source and target sentence differ in meaning) is a topic that in my opinion needs to be taken more seriously in MT. Please consider attending this talk by @ebriakou!

This is coming up now! DM if you want to join but don't know how.
I'm extra excited about this talk b/c it's the first @NLPwithFriends talk that centers Arabic & it'll have ideas for how we can foster work for low resource languages (I'm hoping and assuming)! Show up if you're interested into democratising NLP beyond English!

In the final talk this semester, we are starting a tradition, where our organizers will give their last talk as students on their thesis in our seminar! 🗣️ Z (@ZeerakW) will talk about: "Machinic Abuse Detection and Marginalisation in Machine Learning” 🗓️ June 16th, 14:00 UTC
In a compassionate gesture, the @NLPwithFriends organizers tried to obscure the chance for people to R2 my talk by deleting their tweet. So here's me, undoing their kindness xitter.gq/NLPwithFriends/status/…
Have you ever wanted to R2 a talk?* Well here's your chance. I'll be talking about my thesis work so hard, maybe even slightly unfair questions are welcome. Probably. * I feel like I'm definitely going to regret this tweet. xitter.gq/NLPwithFriends/status/…

@bricksdont in his talk "Achieving genuine progress in Machine Translation" asks "Are the conclusions supported by the evidence?" Highly recommended: youtube.com/watch?v=xptaEM4K…

I somehow missed this great talk by @bricksdont on achieving /genuine/ progress in MT. He raises seemingly obvious but too-often-neglected points that researchers should bear in mind IMO. Everyone should `./everything.sh`! youtu.be/xptaEM4KAp8

This starts in an hour! I'll be talking about why longer inputs aren't always better for language modeling.
And this Wednesday... 🗣Ofir Press(@OfirPress) will tell us about his upcoming paper at ACL: "Shortformer: Better Language Modeling using Shorter Inputs" 🗓May 12th, 17:00 UTC 📝 Sign up through our mailing list: lists.nlpwithfriends.com/mai…

I’m absolutely buzzing after the @NLPwithFriends social! It was great to see a very diverse group of people (in terms of geography, academic progression and nationality) talking about research, issues of diversity and the politics of tech and research! 🥰
