He/him. After receiving a PhD in Linguistics from UCSD took a position as a postdoc at the @LabexEFL in Paris. Excited about ellipsis and all things language.

One school in Indiana was forced to go into quarantine just a few hours into the first day of reopening. Teacher and union activist Karla Reyes explains why she and other teachers are protesting today nationwide to demand the gov't do better.

Rent is due tomorrow, & I know how terrifying that can be.

I’ve been evicted three times—& @LacyClayMO1 shamed me for it. I know first-hand what happens when our "leaders" fail to protect us.

Our housing system is in crisis. Here's what we need to do about it:

Excited to share that in fall 2021 I will start a faculty position at the Technion, where I will continue working on the intersection of NLP and cognitive science. I will be taking on graduate students, RAs and possibly a postdoc. Feel free to get in touch if interested!

How do words influence categorization?
We built a Bayesian model to find out. It shows that words induce a prior in the learner that can both facilitate and hinder category learning.

Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t debate @ShahidForChange so he decided to pull up and do a rally infront of her house

March: @SpeakerPelosi gives Trump a $500 billion slush fund.

April: one of her husband's businesses gets $1 million from it.

May we please now have a debate, so she can explain to us why this is all perfectly legal? #PelosiDebateShahid https://t.co/g6L3a935SI

[Jon Gauthier @j_gauthier]

Launching today! Do neural network language models acquire human-like knowledge? We built SyntaxGym to help answer that question. It's a site for standardized, accessible, and reproducible targeted evaluations of models.

Perhaps the greatest anti-slavery speech ever uttered is “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” by Frederick Douglass, in 1852. I wanted to make the speech more accessible. Here’s a thread with an abridged version of the speech we should reread every #FourthofJuly. 1/

For the record, @SpeakerPelosi, his name is George. Floyd.

Millions of us have been chanting it in the streets for weeks. You might have heard us.

The predatory policing paradigm that you supported killed him senselessly.

The very least you could do is #SayHisName correctly.

[Pat Just Pat 🍉 @PatTheSocialist]

Nancy Pelosi will try to avoid debating her opponent, Shahid Buttar, because she knows that she'll get slaughtered. He's a brilliant guy with a legit activist background and national support. He's perfect for this moment.

Our job is to force the debate.
