📢 Exciting News in NLP Metrics! 📊 🔍 There are a lot of different metrics for structured prediction tasks for NLP. Or are there? Our EMNLP 2023 paper suggests they might not be so different at all! Plus, we've got a great new Python library to help you make your own metrics! 🚀

Wrote a little package that visualizes directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) in the terminal. PyPI: pypi.org/project/py-dagviz/ GitHub: github.com/ctongfei/py-dagvi…

As a τ-ist I insist that the correct form of this formula is e^iτ = 1.
What you see below is one of the most beautiful formulas in mathematics. A single equation, establishing a relation between 𝑒, π, the imaginary number, and 1. It is mind-blowing. This is what's behind the sorcery:

Are dialogue and event understandings similar? We (w/ @ctongfei @ben_vandurme at @jhuclsp) draw connections between two fields and propose to solve the argument linking problem using a simple architecture. Our talk: slideslive.com/38939698 (11/20 11:15 EST) #EMNLP2020 #CODI

Two papers accepted to #acl2020nlp: 1. Uncertain natural language inference (w/ @ZhengpingJiang @azpoliak @KeisukeS_ @ben_vandurme) 2. Hierarchical entity typing via multi-level learning to rank (w/ @YunmoChen @ben_vandurme). Preprints and code will follow :-)

Stoked that our paper received best paper award at #NLP4ConvAI 😄 See you in Florence! (adding @ChetanNNaik)
Our paper "Improving Long Distance Slot Carryover in Spoken Dialogue Systems" with me, Chetan Naik, Hua He, @Pushpendre89 and Lambert Mathias is online at arxiv.org/abs/1906.01149. #NLP4ConvAI @ACL2019_Italy

11. 10x researchers rarely leave a 50-ft radius surrounding their office. They move out only because the @soylent delivery failed to arrive, making their lives miserable with the necessity of acknowledging corporeal existence. If you come across them, marinate them in @soylent.

n which we propose models (pointer networks / transformers) that jointly models the interdependency between slots, leading to improved long distance slot carryover in dialog systems.

Edward Hu (recently graduated @jhuclsp ugrad) is presenting Improved Lexically Constrained Decoding for Translation and Monolingual Rewriting by J. Edward Hu @HudaKhay Ryan Culkin, Patrick Xia @ctongfei @mjpost & Benjamin Van Durme Poster at 3 Monday aclweb.org/anthology/N19-109…
If your paper is arXived but you don't tweet it… Proved a No Free Lunch theorem 🚫🍱 for clustering tasks, using our recently advocated metric. No best algo! With @ctongfei and @_t_sne, who survived my quibbles about \mathcal vs \mathbb \vs \mathfrak! arxiv.org/abs/1903.10092

Just realized the composition of finite state transducers (FSTs) is just a monadic operation -- weighted FSTs compose because any semiring gives rise to a monad on maps: Semiring[R] => Monad[[A] => Map[A, R]]; and WFSTs form their own category.

I'm at #AAAI19 presenting our work on storytelling. We proposed a hierarchically generation strategy plan-and-write arxiv.org/abs/1811.05701 Please play with our demo cwc-story.isi.edu Guaranteed fun with the interactive mode. :) Friends at Honolulu: let’s catch up! #nlproc
