thegradient.pub/nlp-imagenet/ Recommended reading on deep representation pre-learning trends in NLP! Big fan of Sebastian Ruder's blog on recent developments in the state-of-the-art! Always helpful for getting up to speed.

Heading to #ACL2018 in Melbourne, Australia. Excited to present my research and meet NLPeople! #LT3 #ACL

Had an inspiring #ACL2018 and EcoNLP workshop! Presented my work on economic event detection and got valuable feedback. See you next year!

Proficiet Nils!

My first A1 publication! It's been a long time coming (18 months to be exact), but it's published.

Did an interview with New Scientist about the cyberbullying research we did in the AMiCA project. Read it here: newscientist.com/article/218296… #UGentNLP #LT3

We've done a few benchmarks to our 🤗/Transformers library! we compare 10 architectures for inference, with PyTorch and TensorFlow. We further benchmark them with TorchScript and XLA! The results are detailed in the first of a series of blog posts: medium.com/huggingface/be…

Emtremely excited to finally share a side-project I've been working on for the past few months: Neural Synesthesia, visualizing music with #GANs! So many ideas left to explore, this journey is just getting started.. More HD renders on my new YT channel: youtube.com/channel/UCu9a5…

This video explains the ELECTRA model! -Replaced Token Detection to pre-train Transformers on massive unlabeled text datasets vs. Masked Language Modeling -ELECTRA-small trained with 1 GPU in 4 days surpasses GPT with 30x more compute! youtu.be/QWu7j1nb_jI #100DaysOfMLCode

New publications on cyberbullying!

New papers on fine-grained event extraction + sentiment analysis in economic news by Gilles Jacobs Veronique Hoste. The created SENTiVENT corpus enables financial NLP and economic information extraction. 1: link.springer.com/article/10.100… 2: mdpi.com/2079-9292/10/2…

The day of my PhD defense we are also organizing the Workshop for NLP for Economics. Register and find more information at lt3.ugent.be/workshop-nlp-e… 📅 09 December 2021 14:00 - 16:00 📍Virtual (online) / Ghent, BE #nlp #economics #finance

I successfully defended my dissertation and received my PhD yesterday! Thanks to everyone who supported me over these years.

Happy to part of such a prolific research group!

MaskGAN, our paper on generating text with GANs, was accepted to ICLR: openreview.net/forum?id=ByOEx…

Several machine learning researchers have signed a statement regarding the upcoming launch of Nature Machine Intelligence. If you agree, I encourage you to sign this as well. openaccess.engineering.oregonstate.edu
