Hi there,I've spent the last days catching up on papers—before inevitably falling behind again once ACL papers are released. With EACL just behind us, ICLR happening right now, and NAACL still some time away, here's a round-up of some of my favourite papers from each conference so far.This newsletter also contains some reflections on research progress (including discussions of improvements to optimizers and Transformers) and an overview of applying machine learning to source code. I really appreciate your feedback, so let me know what you love ❤️ and hate 💔 about this edition. Simply hit reply on the issue.If you were referred by a friend, click here to subscribe.
