Efficient Methods for Natural Language Processing: A Survey
A survey that started in wonderful @dagstuhl and now includes the input of many institutions and authors. A great starting point for a practitioner or new researcher trying to navigate the NLP efficiency landscape.
This is looking good! 👌 – at Coimbra, Portugal
I'm thrilled to announce the public release of #SpeechBrain!

Wow.
@OpenAI has trained a model that can create new images - you just describe them in English. 🤯

Excelent overview on prioritization. I like it mainly because it is pragmatic and inclusive. No single tool/view will do the trick, you will always need a mix of things to get there. – at Coimbra, Portugal

Got depressed too... 🙄 #NLP – at Coimbra, Portugal
Start-of-semester thoughts:
Teaching NLP is quite depressing, and I don't know how to do it well. I am torn between the two perspectives:
1) Teach the interesting problems. Why language is interesting. Why language is hard. How is language structured. What should we look at.

If you’ve never tried it, playground.tensorflow.org/ is the single best explanatory tool for neural networks. An essential demo for any deep learning course!
I still notice improvements in my intuition just by tinkering with it.
From @dsmilkov @shancarter.
I totally agree with @shreyas on this! This is all about having a growth mindset! Be ambitious, and if you don’t get there but reach close you are already wining! – at Coimbra, Portugal
All else being equal, it’s often more prudent to prefer teams that tend to Over-Promise & Under-Deliver (OPUD) rather than teams that consistently Under-Promise & Over-Deliver (UPOD)

It’s the “gold rush” in the digital era. American airlines are securing multi-billion dollar loans using their data as collateral. Have you ever imagined this? www-forbes-com.cdn.ampprojec… – at Coimbra, Portugal

Awesome compilation of GPT-3 experiments! #nlp – at Coimbra, Portugal
I keep seeing all kinds of crazy reports about people's experiences with GPT-3, so I figured that I'd collect a thread of them.

When you walk into the emergency room now, there is silence.
It’s not just fewer patients. Fewer monitors. Fewer dying.
There is an actual emptiness...

Even it that sounds strange, tables have been a challenge to everyone doing information extraction or information retrieval. Good to see developments on this! – at Coimbra, Portugal
Much of the world’s information is stored in table form. TAPAS, a new model based on the #BERT architecture, is optimized for parsing tabular data over a wide range of structures and domains for application to question-answering tasks. Learn more below: ai.googleblog.com/2020/04/us…
