Efficient Methods for Natural Language Processing: A Survey

A survey that started in wonderful @dagstuhl and now includes the input of many institutions and authors. A great starting point for a practitioner or new researcher trying to navigate the NLP efficiency landscape.

This is looking good! 👌

Well done humanity! Another historic moment has just happened. Now, go and tell us a little more about what is out there, Perseverance!

[ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere]

Hello, world. My first look at my forever home. #CountdownToMars

[Jeremy Howard @jeremyphoward]

Wow.

@OpenAI has trained a model that can create new images - you just describe them in English. 🤯

Excelent overview on prioritization. I like it mainly because it is pragmatic and inclusive. No single tool/view will do the trick, you will always need a mix of things to get there.

Got depressed too... 🙄 #NLP

[(((ل()(ل() 'yoav))))👾 @yoavgo]

Start-of-semester thoughts:
Teaching NLP is quite depressing, and I don't know how to do it well. I am torn between the two perspectives:

1) Teach the interesting problems. Why language is interesting. Why language is hard. How is language structured. What should we look at.

[Suzana Ilić @suzatweet]

I totally agree with @shreyas on this! This is all about having a growth mindset! Be ambitious, and if you don’t get there but reach close you are already wining!

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

All else being equal, it’s often more prudent to prefer teams that tend to Over-Promise & Under-Deliver (OPUD) rather than teams that consistently Under-Promise & Over-Deliver (UPOD)

Apparently, it works! 😄

Studies have shown that listening to the sound of beavers enthusiastically munching on white cabbage can temporarily reduce stress levels by up to 17%.

It’s the “gold rush” in the digital era. American airlines are securing multi-billion dollar loans using their data as collateral. Have you ever imagined this? https://t.co/kQHlGv4xLo

Interesting article about the benefits of a positive work culture and the research behind it. https://t.co/oGEQ9vuyVj

Awesome compilation of GPT-3 experiments! #nlp

[Kaj Sotala @xuenay]

I keep seeing all kinds of crazy reports about people's experiences with GPT-3, so I figured that I'd collect a thread of them.

This is a sad testimony of someone that fights COVID19 from the inside. Thank you all health workers for being in the front lines!

When you walk into the emergency room now, there is silence.

It’s not just fewer patients. Fewer monitors. Fewer dying.

There is an actual emptiness...

Even it that sounds strange, tables have been a challenge to everyone doing information extraction or information retrieval. Good to see developments on this!

[Google AI @GoogleAI]

Much of the world’s information is stored in table form. TAPAS, a new model based on the #BERT architecture, is optimized for parsing tabular data over a wide range of structures and domains for application to question-answering tasks. Learn more below: https://t.co/U9zRxaUvik
