I did my PhD in India, that too ~20 years ago, and it couldn't have been more "with" than that anywhere in the world. So I guess it depends on who the advisor is, and what they expect from the student as much as what the student expects from them.

There are ~6000 languages on the planet. We must qualify the question by asking "NLP for which language" is solved? For my mother tongue Bangla I don't see even a good spell-checker or POS tagger. Some fancy numbers on a few datasets in a few languages means nothing to me.

What is "normal" to ChatGPT? Well, the first 5 images clearly shows that "normal" is western, financially well to do (middle class?) culturally homogenous identities.
No surprises here though, as that's where the data says (or does it really?)
Me: Can you draw a very normal image?
ChatGPT: Here is a very normal image depicting a tranquil suburban street scene during the daytime.
Me: Not bad, but can you go more normal than that?

Whether we condition a prompt with culturally motivated personas or irrelevant cues, LLMs change their responses whether or not the questions are culture-dependent. Quite like the placebo effect! We need better controls for establishing model bias through promoting. 1/2
📢📢Socio-demographic Prompts are used for Cultural Alignment and studying biases. But is the “bias” elicited by these prompts systematic? Are they similar/different from when LLMs are prompted with "Your favorite programming language is C++"?🧐 The answer will surprise you

It was fun to interact with high school students on cutting-edge
#NLProc
stuff. I was so impressed by the deep and thoughtful questions! Thank you

My 5th grader son had to write article on Japan. He took relevant wiki articles, put those through
#Quillbot
and stitched the summaries. Done in 5 min!
His mom was pretty impressed and so will his teacher be, am sure.

This is an area I started working on after joining

earlier this year.
Excited to talk about some of our latest research on Responsible AI at
@indoml_sym
later this week.
Thank you organizers for the opportunity.

This paper is an outcome of a long & patient work, which may not be apparent from the content.
@saujasv
and I had started with the dream of building a machine that could win a medal at the International Linguistics Olympiad

...
Can we learn explicit phonological rules that generalize from only a few examples?
This is the question we explore in our
@sigmorphon
paper (with
@aloxatel
,
@monojitchou
, and Dipti Misra Sharma) on using program synthesis for linguistic rules.

The CoWIN eqn:
Probability of 18-45 yo getting protection from Covid through vaccination
= W*O*A*M*V
Where,
W = p(website is up)
O = p(receive OTP in time)
A = p(appointment available)
M = p(manage to get vaccinated before getting infected)
V = p(effectiveness of vaccine)

MSR India is a such a wonderful place with wonderful people, that there's nothing more one could ask for as a computer scientist. It was my first job, which I joined straight after PhD; the journey since then has been spectacularly enriching and deeply satisfying.

What's hot in
#NLProc
? And how well does it serve all our languages? I will be talking about building language technology beyond English; for Indian, African and other languages that the global South speak.
Scaling ML piplines?
Building model accuracy through monitoring?
Evaluating feature stores?
Testing for biases in ML models?

Recently our
#Georgia
tourist visas got rejected on the account of insufficient funds! The only case of rejection after travelling to 30+ countries.
I had applied through
@travelwithatlys
and they say
@GeoEmbassyIndia
rejects 90% of the apps from India. Is it true?

Is it necessary to declare the

?
#DelhiPublicSchool
has asked us to declare caste for my daughter else they won't process her file.

But then a member of the community does what the system expects them to do.
When did the academic community landed up itself in such a sadistic yet futile race, when 90% of the papers are only reserved for adorning a fixed number of pages in a proceedings w/o any further use? 2/2

A great strategy that will work for many "Low-Resource" language work as well!
For instance, Javanese, Hausa and Bhojpuri are the 22nd, 23rd and 27th most spoken (by native speakers) languages respectively.
Are you tired of answering “is this generalizable” questions when you present research on India/ specific states? I suggest try this 👇

The short stint at Microsoft Turing has been a great personal learning experience, but will also allow me to boast for rest of my life of being part (even if small) of the GenAI revolution and making of the new Bing.

Juxtapose this with the fact that workshops are much more linguistically inclusive than ACL main conference, as we have shown in "The State and Fate of Linguistic Diversity and Inclusion in the NLP World - ACL Anthology"

I submitted zero papers to

of which zero got accepted and none were rejected. Else I would have either died of excitement or shame. Now I feel blessed ;)

If you are working on
#codemixing
, either from a
#linguistics
perspective or
#NLProc
system, you might find our
#eacl2021
demo on automatic generation of grammatically valid code mixed sentences interesting and useful. Code will be out soon.
Our paper - "GCM: A Toolkit for Generating Synthetic Code-mixed Text" has been accepted at the 16th Conference of European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
@eaclmeeting
in the demo paper track.
