My post about starting an Open Source project as a beginner have been published on #freecodecamp Medium. Check it out if you've been curious about Open Source but didn't feel like you were ready to contribute! #CodeNewbie #100DaysOfCode

@laurieontech @CodeNewbies That is good news, that it is not only an outsider thing!

[Linea @lineal]

@michaelsoolee @CodeNewbies @spellitout_xyz Very awesome concept, and nice UI! :)

[Linea @lineal]

@CodeNewbies A2: T E R M I N O L O G Y ! #CodeNewbie

[Linea @lineal]

@waterproofheart @CodeNewbies The reward of solving that challenge is pretty addictive!

[Linea @lineal]

@CodeNewbies A1: Studying linguistics (still am). For me it was not a switch but an addition. I got interested because I took a psychology class that mentioned artificial neural networks. I was intrigued, and figured that i needed to learn to code, to keep up. #CodeNewbie

@AndyHaskell2013 @NLPNewbie I don't have autocorrect on, because I don't trust myself to notice unwanted "corrections", so I only use the word-suggestion feature. If there was a UI that clearly showed where a word had been "corrected", I would be much more likely to use autocorrect #NLPNewbie

[Linea @lineal]

@NLPNewbie A3: Not really a ressource, and not really autocorrect, but thought this was hilarious timing, when I posted earlier #NLPNewbie

[Linea @lineal]

@NLPNewbie A2: I would like an addition "personalized" corpus that includes all the names of people I have in my contacts, which I don't understand why is not a thing yet. If I am messaging a person named Jon, I probably meant to say "Hi Jon", not "Hi John". #NLPNewbie

@AndyHaskell2013 @marielsmusings @JessRudder @thinkmariya We are glad to have you back, we got all worried last week :)

[Linea @lineal]

It's #NLPNewbie time

[NLPNewbie @NLPNewbie]

Welcome to our 8th #NLPNewbie chat! #CodeNewbie

[Linea @lineal]

@NLPNewbie A1: I can't think of any great catches by my autocorrect, although I am sure there have been many. That's the thing, when technology works great, you barely notice how helpful it actually is. #NLPNewbie #Ungratefuluser

[Linea @lineal]

@NLPNewbie A1: I think the worst one will have to be when my mom's phone keeps insisting on autocorrecting her name Sus, to the Danish word "sure" (which means angry). #NLPNewbie

[Linea @lineal]

Come chat with the #NLPNewbies

[NLPNewbie @NLPNewbie]

Hey all, we will be chatting in about 15 minutes. Tonight's topic is autocorrect. Come share your wins and fails. #NLPNewbie

[Linea @lineal]

Hey the @MintLA, when is the show with @Nicolay tonight? Different information on your own webpage and from the ticket vendors? Can we get some clarification please :)

[Linea @lineal]

@NLPNewbie

[Linea @lineal]

Hey #CodeNewbies, why don't you join us next week? We would love to have you! No prerequisites, your thoughts, ideas and questions are valuable regardless of your experience level :) #NLPNewbie

[NLPNewbie @NLPNewbie]

Thanks for joining us! We are moving over to the official #CodeNewbie chat now, see you next week :) #NLPNewbie

[Linea @lineal]

@NLPNewbie I found this presentation by @rctatman a while ago, which I think is a very good primer to why sociolinguistics is important to NLP, and it has some interesting references that I hope to check out soon. #NLPNewbie https://t.co/cyiaFZ0XYz

@NLPNewbie HEHE, not experiencing, experimenting

[Linea @lineal]

@NLPNewbie Yes, I have been thinking about this for a while! I do think that Grammarly is currently experiencing with at least detecting a formality level of your text. If it will later be possible to set the formality level your want your corrections to reflect, I do not know #NLPNewbie

[Linea @lineal]

How do counteract biases in training data for NLP projects? #NLPNewbie #NLProc #NLP

[NLPNewbie @NLPNewbie]

@lineal How do you think those of us who build and use #NLP can help counteract these biases? #NLPNewbie
