Hi all,A struggle for me these days is the lack of human connection and interaction. I think this is especially challenging for students without an established network. The last newsletter highlighted some resources on how to connect with others during these isolating times. In the same spirit, here are some upcoming virtual events that allow you to connect with like-minded people—the first two mainly focusing on students:6–9 May: Stuts + Tacos (Joint Student Conference on Linguistics and Computational Linguistics). Registration deadline: April 19.26 July—13 August: ESSLLI (European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information). Deadline for submission to the student session: April 4.7—8 October: TTO (Conference for Truth and Trust Online). Paper submission deadline: 30 July. Talk proposal deadline: 13 August.Are there any other accessible events that you would like me to share?This newsletter covers three high-level topics: a brief history of question answering (QA) including lessons we can learn from QA pre-Deep Learning; how we can design models that can adapt to new words; and some excellent data detective work on multilingual corpora.I really appreciate your feedback, so let me know what you love ❤️ and hate 💔 about this edition.
