Hi all, First off, some personal news: I've moved from DeepMind to Google Research this week. Because of this move, the past months have been quite busy. In light of this, I decided to pause the newsletter over the last couple of months. I plan to continue with it in a more sustainable manner.I'll be continuing to work on multilingual NLP, with a focus on under-represented languages, particularly those in Sub-Saharan Africa. On this note, if you are thinking of doing research in this area, I can't think of a better thing to do than apply for a funding opportunity via the Lacuna Fund. The call this time includes a mentorship program in collaboration with the amazing people from Masakhane.I really appreciate your feedback, so let me know what you love ❤️ and hate 💔 about this edition.
