As a mathematician and AI researcher, my eyes just hurt every time he uses the words “mathematics” or “statistics”. There is no robust mathematical methodology behind his analyses and he keeps mixing some data that does make some sense, with some personal crusades with no value.

These two can be simultaneously true: 1) ChatGPT is, by far, the most impressive general-purpose chatbot we have ever seen. 2) There are still many exciting challenges in NLP that are not going to be solved by simply scaling up language models (even for dialogue systems!)

Words can be recovered from word vector averages, as shown by @prfsanjeevarora et al. In our paper we show that word order can also be recovered by simply adding bigrams into the equation. At the same time, we provide some evidence on why LSTM autoencoders work in practice.

And #evonlp2022 is over! Thank you all for participating in the workshop. Hope the workshop sparked a discussion on the importance of going beyond static datasets/models by taking into account the dynamic nature of language (time, language change, etc.) in #NLProc research.

Do LLMs understand the subtle language involved in mansplaining situations? 🤔 Well, not really... LLMs can usually detect mansplaining if explicitly asked, but not otherwise. 👩‍🔬Work led by @comuni_carla 📜Corpus with 886 mansplaining stories Paper:

Thanks for the invitation! I'll be presenting an overview on embedding techniques for Natural Language Processing, including some of our latest work in this area. If that doesn't convince you to attend, this will surely will... there'll be free pizza!🍕😂

Some take-away messages from the SemEval task on Hypernym Discovery: Numbers don't lie, it is a *very* difficult task (room for improvement!); Hearst patterns still relevant; most frequent baseline hard to beat in focused domains. Paper here:

This isn't a statistical anomaly, but it's a perfect example of another well-known phenomenon, known as "confirmation bias". Here you can read a bit more about what confirmation bias is and how to overcome it 👇

Humans are very good at distinguishing senses given different contexts but computers (including SotA models like #ELMo , sense embeddings...) still struggle with it. Check out our new dataset on this topic! #NLProc Dataset: Paper:

Everybody around me knows how vocal I am to increase anti-cheating measures on all sorts of tournaments (even OTB, we need better measures). However, the way he is going about all this is just wrong, and thankfully most people can see that by now.

Great work by Yerai Doval (w/ @luisanke S.Schockaert) accepted @emnlp2018 . Building on the works of @artetxem and @alex_conneau et al for learning crosslingual embeddings, we show how a final transformation can further approach the monolingual spaces while improving their quality

@VBkramnik For the record, this player is GM Vladimir Kramnik. If it wasn't clear, I'm certainly not suspecting anybody has cheated! But hope this example can make a point: these are *not* statistical anomalies and examples like this can be easily found for *any* player.

I understand that I was too sarcastic and what I said could have been taken the wrong way. I apologise, I should have presented my argument in a more gentle manner.
