The real difference between industry and academia is that in one you make six figures, and the other you make tikz figures.

Seriously impressive work on image compression using GANs. Replacing high-frequency components with slight but believable variations, eg see the 3rd example on the prj page https://t.co/T6VIvmH3zJ (h/t to @sedielem).

1/7 Do word embeddings really say that man is to doctor as woman is to nurse? Apparently not. Check out this thread for a description of a short paper I co-wrote with Malvina Nissim and Rob van der Goot, available here: https://t.co/1ElUWOxs8x #NLProc #bias

Papers with Code: A searchable site that links machine learning papers on ArXiv with code on GitHub. They also tag any framework libraries used, along with other info like GitHub stars. I think such a feature would be a nice addition to ArXiv-Sanity. https://t.co/Q5kUhsqIED
