| 1. Depending on when we're counting the start of this week: submitted 2 abstracts to the CSLI workshop. 1. Emailed a bunch of folks about this scholarship app I'm working on. 1. Wrote a short paragraph to send to Greg re: this scholarship. 1. Worked on my proposal for this scholarship. 1. Went home to get the retinal tear in my left eye looked at by a (free) ophthalmologist, and got laser surgery (treatment?) on Sunday. So... now the hole is fixed? 1. Met with Dan Russel and chatted with him about what role using an emoji in a hashtag might be playing in how a japanese pub is branding itself (it provides extra information in an efficient bit of info: mainly that they serve beer as opposed to being a sake/whiskey/whatever bar), also, how a lot of different things might influence the expectations a user might have (e.g., when you mention seeing a bear on your way into work in Victoria, BC you likely mean a very different kind of bear than someone who mentions a bear in Churchill, MB - hey, his example, not mine!). I also managed to glean the information that it seems like google is still mainly just hiring linguists for kind of boring translation jobs (like, how do figure out the most common use of X morphemes to be more natural), rather than on the research front (still preferring to hire NLP / HCI engineers). |
Lab Meeting, Autumn 2016, Week 11
For this week's meeting, if you haven't, read Fine et al. (2013)
Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)
R Markdown => Jekyll Markdown => awesomely updated website?!? This is super, super cool, and incredibly easy to use if you're already running a Jekyll-based Github page. I will soon be able to instantly put up R Markdown blog posts on my website, thanks to this awesome project. -ZJB
