Epic congrats to *Dr.* @EmmaSManning, who defended their #NLProc dissertation on NLG (specifically, AMR-to-text) evaluation and passed with flying colors! Read about Emma's work here and in publications to come: esmanning.github.io

Going to chair a #NAACL BoF session with Sean MacAvaney at 1PM PST (in ~14 minutes!) Join us to talk about the state of IR and future directions! Zoom link available on underline for conference participants: underline.io/events/122/ses…

Take a look at our ACL camera-ready presenting our structurally-comprehensive AMR-to-text alignments. Nathan Schneider arxiv.org/abs/2106.06002

Are you an #NLProc person who works with AMR for English semantics? We have a new aligner, LEAMR 🦥, which aligns all parts of the graph and is pretty darn accurate! The algorithm is based on good old-fashioned probabilistic modeling and EM. Data+code: github.com/ablodge/leamr

Congrats to the newly minted Dr. Austin Blodgett! Today he defended his PhD dissertation, "Linguistics Interpretability and Compositionality of Abstract Meaning Representations". My 1st ever PhD advisee & the 2nd to defend this summer in Computational Linguistics at Georgetown!

Congrats to GUCL alum @EmmaSManning for being awarded best position paper at INLG 2021! You can read the full paper here: aclanthology.org/2021.inlg-1.14/

Come be my colleague! #DataScience position is broad enough to encompass #AI #ML #NLProc #CompLing etc. Please share/reach out if you are interested in hearing more about the data science landscape at Georgetown! LatinX in AI (LXAI) WiML WiNLP WiCV Women in MIR

Interested in learning more about #CompLing/#NLProc grad programs at Georgetown (MS or Ph.D.)? I’d be happy to share info informally over Zoom on Nov. 7 or 9 (during EMNLP). Email or DM to sign up. [1/3]

Congratulations to Dr. Jakob Prange (prange.jakob.georgetown.domains) on successfully defending his dissertation, "Neuro-symbolic Models for Constructing, Comparing, and Combining Syntactic and Semantic Representations"! (Abstract: prange.jakob.georgetown.domains/p/diss/abstrac…)

May the Fourth was with me yesterday: I found out that Georgetown is allowing me to be a long-haul Hoya with tenure! The best part of this job is exploring & expanding knowledge—in the company of enthusiastic fellow nerds. Shoutout to my awesome students, mentors, & community!

Communities are eager to make the arduous process of language documentation easier, and models from the 20+ years of research in low-resource NLP are poised to help. But many language documentation projects forgo the use of any NLP models. Why? (1/8) aclanthology.org/2022.computel-…

#NLProc and #linguistics Twitter: do you have trouble keeping track of all the linguistic annotation apps that are out there? So do I and my colleagues, which is why I made the Map of Applications for Linguistic Annotation (MALA): lgessler.com/mala/
