I'm very proud of this work : )
Big congrats to @jeankaddour, @oscar__key, @PMinervini , and Matt J. Kusner!
Congrats @Edin_CDT_NLP Balint Gyevnar whose essay ‘Love, Sex, & AI’ was 1/5 to win the Stanford’s AI100 Early Career Essay Comp. And hot on the heels of also being awarded the UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Early Career Research Award under the Knowledge Transfer track! 🥳👏
🏳️🌈Our annual CDT NLP Pride Picnic, organised this year by @colemanhaley22, carried on indoors due to the unexpected weather conditions 🌈 Despite the change in plans, it was a fantastic gathering to welcome the latest - and last 🥹 - @Edin_CDT_NLP cohort!
🥇Congratulations to @ninamarkl who passed her viva: ‘Language variation, automatic speech recognition and algorithmic bias’ – first from the @Edin_CDT_NLP! Thanks, too, to her supervisors, Catherine Lai and Lauren Hall-Lew plus the examiners. Well done DR Nina Markl!!🥳👏
Final opportunity to apply for home-fee studentship @Edin_CDT_NLP if you haven't already! Due to annual leave delays, deadline is now 23rd May. web.inf.ed.ac.uk/cdt/natural…
The Edinburgh Centre for Doctoral Training in NLP @Edin_CDT_NLP has received a funding uplift from URKI, which means we have a small number of additional studentships for home-fee students available. Please apply by 19 May through ed.ac.uk/studying/postgradua…
The paper is the outcome of my individual project done during my first year as a @Edin_CDT_NLP student!
Unfortunately, I won't make it to Toronto as the visa processing time is more than 200 days (i.e., Applying in January is not even enough!🥺)
Meet me at gathertown in July 😁
