I'm workshopping my resume for industry jobs and right now it's just looking like an abbreviated version of my cv. Anyone have tips on how to present my academic experience in a way that translates better to non-academic folks? ... #altac #postac #careers #resume

I’ll be giving a talk this afternoon at #CogSci2024 in the Language Processing session (16:00 in Mees I). If you’re interested in how we can connect linguistic intuitions to naturalistic corpus data come check it out!

A highlight of the day was hearing about @liinapy ‘s work on the neural correlates of compositionality. Very cool stuff!

Ok ML people- everyone agrees that tokenizers are weird, goofy clumpers but do we all agree that this really doesn’t matter? Theoretically would it be helpful for models to have a magical tokenizer more aligned with human intuitions on morphology?
