@_joestacey_ Thanks, this is a great list! 6 is so true; workshop experience is vastly underrated. Oftentimes, they are more inspiring than main conference sessions.

there’s a great talk comming up later today in Miami (@emnlpmeeting). FOMO.

RT @hila_gonen: Very excited to give a keynote talk at @mrl2024_emnlp tomorrow titled "Balanced and Efficient tokenization across languages…

@JulieKallini @karpathy That is really interesting to see how Mr would work with other (potentially more efficient) encodings than bytes. It'd be awseome to discuss it more sometime, and maybe join forces for more compute.🤞😁🤞

@delliott @esalesk @alvations @magikarp_tokens @aclmeeting @taku910 @hauntsaninja @huggingface Yes, there is determination to have such a workshop. So we hope it will happen with one of these conferences next year. And also COLM organizers plan to host workshops next year 🤞

People want to attend ✅ Organizers want to organize ✅ @aclmeeting doesn't want to have it, sad 😦

also, if you are in Miami for @emnlpmeeting this week don’t miss @hila_gonen's MRL keynote about fair multilingual tokenization (including MYTE). Happening on Saturday (Nov 16) at 9:50 am ET @mrl2024_emnlp workshop (room: Jasmine).

That was a frenzied September for me! I'm thrilled to share that I successfully defended my PhD at @ufal_cuni ! 🥳🧑‍🎓📗 I'm also excited for the next step: post-doc at @AIatMeta Seattle, where I'll continue my research journey with the amazing group of @LukeZettlemoyer! 🚀🏔️💙

RT @ufal_cuni: Congratulations 🥳🎉🎊 to 👉Dr.👈 @ZdenekKasner and 👉Dr.👈 @TomLimi for passing their PhD defences today!

@esalesk @delliott Congrats!

@PeterHndrsn working on it!

@omerNLP sometimes people in Israel use too many Capital letters, sometimes too little.

@orevaahia @aclmeeting Yaay! Congrats, Oreva!

RT @rao2z: So I was present in person at @emilymbender's #ACL2024 thought provoking presidential address. As the past president of @reala…

and that's sad 😔

And that's sad! @aclmeeting has been bringing AI, ML, and linguistic research for mutual benefit. I agree that there are conflicts between subfields (e.g. in reviewing) and divisive remarks from the presidential address make more harm than good.
