if you are a researcher in UKR and want to come to Israel but need some host institution for visa/permit/etc, and are affiliated with an academic institute and work in a field i could justify connection to (nlp, ml, hci, interpreted very broadly), DM me.

Meet Team #CSAI from Tilburg University (@tilburgresearch):

Together with 11 of my colleagues, we walked 40km during the night ( #nvdv ) and raised more than 3800 euros for emergency aid to refugees. Very proud we all made it to the finish line :)!

On September 11-12 I will walk 40 KM through the night to raise money for emergency relief to refugees. The raised funds will be spent on providing shelter, medical aid and food, and access to clean water. Please consider donating:

#NvdV21

The ZeroSpeech competition on unsupervised spoken language modelling is happening again, hosted at NeurIPS: zerospeech.com/2021/

The big news is that this time we'll have a pilot track on visually-grounded language modelling: zerospeech.com/2021/track_m.h…
Consider participating!

We are looking forward to hosting Lieke Gelderloos (Lieke Gelderloos) on Tuesday (April 13th, 14:30 CET) in our NLPhD speaker series. Lieke will present and discuss her work on 'Active word learning through self-supervision'. The talk will be public on MS Teams >>

Two open PhD vacancies at Tilburg University within the InDeep project. Come work with us on one of two topics:
• General-purpose methods for interpretability in NLP (led by
afra alishahi)
• Analysis and control for speech processing models (led by
Grzegorz Chrupała 🇪🇺🇺🇦)

#NlProc

Grzegorz Chrupała 🇪🇺🇺🇦 @bertrand_higy afra alishahi The link to the first one is actually virtual.acl2020.org/paper_main.1.h…. It is coauthored by Body Shohel (aka Fraud Alicia) and Exhibit a Boa (that would be you). I'm not even sure which part of the introduction caption is supposed to be my own name

#CogSci2019 people: come to the poster session between 1 and 2:30 to learn how curiosity can help in cross-situational word learning. And also, don't draw conclusions based on the behaviour of one trained model. Look at that hairy mess.

Come work with us!
