Introducing... the Subspace Chronicles (ft. @robvanderg, @barbara_plank, @iatitov)—a riveting tale of linguistic information emerging, shifting and disentangling across LM training! Coming to an #EMNLP2023 near you! 📜⏳

🙏🥳 Super grateful and honoured to receive this @VILLUMFONDEN grant which will finance my three year postdoc at @ITUkbh including a two year visit at @MilaNLProc working with @dirk_hovy

Looking forward to starting this project 🙌

[Max @mxmeij]

Tremendous thanks to @iatitov @EdinburghNLP for being extremely welcoming hosts this spring.
And, special thanks to @robvanderg for helping with the video shenanigans: https://t.co/p0gJuGDHpv

By treating probes as characterisations of task subspaces in an LM, we can further quantify linguistic relatedness via how much information is shared across tasks, over time.

📢 Calling all #NLProc enthusiasts!

Join us at the NLP Workshop on Linguistic Variation at @ITUkbh 🇩🇰 on Oct. 5th & 6th.

🎙️ Exciting speakers and an open to all!

This event is made possible by Prof. Dr. @barbara_plank's Multi⭐ grants.

Super happy to announce the first publication result of my research visit at the @TurkuNLP lab in 2022!

Many thanks to Filip Ginter and Sampo Pyysalo for hosting me and to the group for the nice time spent there 🇫🇮💬

Hi! I'm Max (@mxmeij), a 3rd-year PhD looking into representation learning for quantifying linguistic variation, together with @barbara_plank and @robvanderg. #IntroFriday #NLProc 🧵 [1/5]

Great job @jsbaan! Very clear appeal for why you should take human disagreement into account when calibrating your models 🎲 #EMNLP2022

[Max @mxmeij]

Definitely! Had a blast discussing integrals and playing with magnets 🧲 Thanks, #EMNLP2022 ✨

[Elisa Bassignana @EliBassignana]

What a poster session: Thank you all for stopping by!

If you missed it and want to know the secret on how to choose the best LM for your task without fine-tuning, find us (@mxmeij @mjjzha @barbara_plank) around the conference in the next days 😁👋

Task frequency profiles further show that task-relevant information is represented highly consistently, even across typologically distinct languages🔀

[Max @mxmeij]

For #EMNLP2022, we (w/ @robvanderg, @barbara_plank) look through differentiale, rainbow-colored glasses to find linguistic timescale profiles for 7 #NLProc tasks across 6 languages 🌈

The resulting spectral profiles are visually and linguistically intuitive across 7 diverse tasks, e.g. PoS -> short, Syntax -> medium, Sentiment -> long waves🌊

[Max @mxmeij]

Immensely enjoyed this collab with my favourite office roomies🌟

[Mike Zhang 🦋 @mjjzha]

Ever wanted to compare performance of several encoders *before* fine-tuning on your task? 🔮

“Evidence > Intuition: Transferability Estimation for Encoder Selection” has been accepted at #EMNLP2022! This was a cool collab with @EliBassignana @mxmeij @barbara_plank 🚀

If you are at #NAACL2022 I hope you get a chance to meet & check out the works by Max @mxmeij, Mike @mjjzha and Rob @robvanderg on choosing a LM encoder for parsing via probing, IE for computational job markets and MTL for SemEval tasks @NLPnorth @CisLmu #NLProc - times & loc 👇

[Max @mxmeij]

Why choose LMs in a Chinese room when you can probe to rank?
