Do you find yourself regretting your incomplete set of notes from @adveisner 's Keynote at #TeachingNLP #NAACL2021?

Is “Introduction to #NLProc” just “#MachineLearning: NLP Edition”??

Regret no more. Watch it again here :

I'm glad this recording is out, but I'm sorry that it misses the first few minutes, since that included one of my favorite moments:

NEW BLOG POST: Applied NLP Thinking – a mindset for translating business problems into ML solutions.

TL;DR
🧠 Think about the "what", not just the "how"
📈 Check utility, not just accuracy
🚀 Make prototype to production smooth
📚 Linguistics can help!

[Dr Kate Compton @GalaxyKate]

Does anyone have info/deep thoughts on the design of programming assignments?

[Teaching NLP Workshop @NAACL2021 @TeachingNLP]

But, our question for the overall #nlproc community is whether there are good existing models about how to enable sharing of assignments and teaching materials in a sustainable way? please offer some pointers!

[Teaching NLP Workshop @NAACL2021 @TeachingNLP]

we had a really interesting discussion at the conclusion of the workshop about how to enable the sharing of #TeachingNLP materials. great interest, but also concerns about how make sure such a resource doesn't end up neglected and stale.

[Teaching NLP Workshop @NAACL2021 @TeachingNLP]

One model pointed to is https://t.co/NvMmh8Zb0f, which has a very clean searaching interface, and lots of content. i will save you the trouble - if you search for natural language processing or computational linguistics ... no hits. :)

[Teaching NLP Workshop @NAACL2021 @TeachingNLP]

@adyantalamadhya @PracticalNLProc absolutely! looks like a very useful text for #TeachingNLP.

- @adveisner at @TeachingNLP (paraphrased): "early works on ML/Stat-based NLP were basically people doing their homework in public, learning a new topic and finding some trivial application for it. this is how we got so many methods into our toolbox"
