The suspension of the H1B visa program is bad for the US, bad for innovation, and will shatter dreams and disrupt lives. As a former H1B visa holder, my heart goes out to all the families affected.

We continue to closely track the wildfires impacting the county of Santa Cruz. At this point, there are no active fires on campus properties in SC County. Conditions can change rapidly and we are being vigilant in our preparations. go.ucsc.edu/3aGdYBb

Pray for UC Santa Cruz!

🥳Kudos to my team and our collaborators for the paper acceptance this week. 4 emnlp2020 2 Findings #emnlp2020 1 AACL-IJCNLP 1 demo International Semantic Web Conference Topics include natural language understanding, information extraction, human-machine cooperation, explainability. #NLProc #AI

It’s a great week for our team. I am personally happy to have my first papers at EMNLP and AACL. In addition to my previous papers at ACL and COLING, NAACL is the only major NLP conference that I still don’t have a paper in. Next goal.

Congratulations to all the co-authors! Great news!

#emnlp2020 Learning Structured Representations of Entity Names using ActiveLearning and Weak Supervision Kun Qian, Poornima Chozhiyath Raman, Yunyao Li and Lucian Popa Paper: aclweb.org/anthology/2020… Talk: slideslive.com/38938677 Kun Qian,Yunyao Li,Lucian Popa /1

This Sunday is my birthday! The best gift🎁 to me would be if you can watch this video and let me know what you think. youtube.com/watch?v=06-AZX… Lets you and I work to shift AI from Model-Centric toward Data-Centric AI development, which will help many teams.

Strongly agree. We have enough powerful AI models, but we usually neglect the importance of data quality. This is why I am stubborn advocate for active learning and human guided weak supervision. They are data-centric training techniques that can really save time than you thought
