NLP & informatics, research & teaching, and following Jesus

[Jeremy Lin @JLin7]

"The work that Jesus left his followers to do includes showing compassion and forgiveness and contending for a just society. It involves the ever-present offer for all to begin again. "

Thanks, FAccT 2021 organizers, for making it simple for those of us in "economically developing" countries to join in the discussion on Fairness and Ethics in technology.
Read on for an introduction to the field, and some of my global-leaning takeaways!

It was a privilege to introduce #DeepLearning to the motivated and energetic students at @IT_UTSU_ today. https://t.co/8dgO4dewJz

To be clear, we’re not saying you *shouldn’t* compare with non-DL algorithms — maybe more of the opposite!! Or, just describing a trend at the moment

[Stephen Wu @just_stw_it]

There is “growing acceptance for #DeepLearning as a baseline for NLP research” (at least, in clinical NLP) — plus other observations, in our new review article!
Thanks @UTHealth_SBMI @kirk_roberts @elmayuqi @JingchengDu @sarveshsoni26 and the rest of the team!

[Kirk Roberts @kirk_roberts]

Our @UTHealth_SBMI review about deep learning for clinical natural language processing is now online. Basically, how are people developing deep learning methods for electronic health record data?

Nice blog on the need make research digestible when "keeping up with the joneses" (or "... with the googles") https://t.co/5jESACWitL

@stevenbedrick What do you think about this IRB re-scoping? Are you going to tackle it in your NLP ethics class? #cslu #EthicsInNLP https://t.co/HDZGW9a1Tk

[Miles Kimball @mileskimball]

This is huge. Most social science research could now be exempt from IRB review: https://t.co/Y13oRkMheg

@honorshame I'll let you know if I do, but I'm no pro! ;)
Just realized I never used "honor" or "shame" in there once!

[Stephen Wu @just_stw_it]

@honorshame I was trying to think of songs about replacing our honor systems. Drew a blank and wrote one: https://t.co/uKjMz0s6Zf

[Stephen Wu @just_stw_it]

@honorshame Unpack this a bit? Seems the West is redefining moral shame => new honor system => conflict with the old system?
