Finally our paper "Fixed Encoder Self-Attention Patterns in Transformer-Based Machine Translation" will appear in Findings of emnlp2020 w/ Yves Scherrer and Jörg Tiedemann Helsinki-NLP #emnlp2020 #NLProc arxiv.org/abs/2002.10260

An old reunion w/ Tommaso Jose Camacho Collados Taher Pilehvar brought to you "XL-WiC: A Multilingual Benchmark for Evaluating Semantic Contextualization" in 13 languages! emnlp2020 #emnlp2020 #NLProc 🧁 Preprint 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2010.06478 Website 👉 pilehvar.github.io/xlwic/

We created XL-WSD and standardized the evaluation in multilingual WSD for 18 languages from 6 families! Tommaso Alessandro Raganato Roberto Navigli. #AAAI2021 #NLProc Talk: 06/02 - 17:45 & 07/02 - 09:45 CET AB-D3-R2 Github: sapienzanlp.github.io/xl-wsd/ Paper: sapienzanlp.github.io/xl-wsd/assets/…

Hey #NLProc, what about Wikipedia hyperlinks🔗as a randezvous for languages? Iacer Calixto, Alessandro Raganato and I tried it and found out that predicting hyperlinks improves BERT-like models performance🚀on cross-lingual semantic tasks! Preprint at iacercalixto.github.io/pdfs/Calixto-R… #NAACL2021

Interested in working on highly multilingual language and translation models? We have an opening for a 2-year PostDoc in our ERC project FoTran Helsinki-NLP: www2.helsinki.fi/en/open-positi…

I will be presenting our NAACL paper (aclweb.org/anthology/2021…) on improving multilingual LMs by predicting Wikipedia entities later today at 6pm CEST in session 12-G! More information: underline.io/events/122/ses… Joint work with Alessandro Raganato Tommaso 🧐🤓

Postdoc position in computational dialectology: www2.helsinki.fi/en/open-positi… - join our LT team in Helsinki! Application deadline: August 26
