Hi all,
It has been a while⦠I hope youāre doing well in these crazy and strange times.
COVID-19 has affected each of us in unpredictable ways š·. Iām fortunate to be healthy but my energy has been lower overall ā”ļø. Coupled with life and work keeping me busy, this has left less time for writing a newsletter š©.
There are so many things that happened over the last months. For this edition, Iāve focused on a) resources that help you get started with NLP in general and low-resource NLP in particular; and b) musings on two important recent topics: What a language model can learn and how the next generation of NLP benchmarks will look like.
The next newsletter (which should come out in a more timely fashion once Iāve caught up on my reading list backlog š
) will cover the most interesting papers from ACL 2020, EMNLP 2020 papers, and submissions to ICLR 2021.
I really appreciate your feedback, so let me know what youĀ love ā¤ļø and hate š about this edition. Simply hit reply on the issue.
