    My student sent me this list saying they have to improve themselves in many areas. Such a list can do more harm than good. While I appreciate author's intention to motivate one for greatness, I don't think it can be planned. But you can plan to be a "good researcher."

    Enjoyed visiting UC Berkeley’s Machine Learning Club yesterday, where I gave a talk on doing AI research. Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d… In the past few years I’ve worked with and observed some extremely talented researchers, and these are the trends I’ve noticed: 1. When

    Mindboggling that an entire paper of ours has been plagiarized and posted on arXiv. And @arXiv autodetect couldn't catch the plagiarism (and it took us a month). Is this a social experiment or a deliberate attempt? A nice example for the dark side of LLMs. Spotted by @JasperJJian

    Can we improve chatbots after deployment from natural user feedback? A big YES :) User feedback has rich cues about errors but it cannot be used directly for training. So we use GANs to generate training data from feedback. arxiv.org/abs/2010.07261 #Findings-of-#EMNLP2020 #NLProc.

    A glimpse of my journey into NLP and what I am excited about. Thank you CIFAR and @FacebookAI for your incredible support in funding fundamental research. Looking forward to hiring many junior researchers to work on hard problems in #NLProc at @MILAMontreal and @McgillU.

    I will make my stance clear. I oppose any form of violence against civilians, especially children, be it in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, Iran, Sudan or elsewhere. My silence does not mean I don't care. I care in limited ways in which I can make a difference while preserving my sanity.

    In most search sessions, people switch between two to ten topics 😯. But work in conversational question answering assumes a session around a single topic (CoQA, QuAC). We launch, TopiOCQA (🗣️Tapioca🧋), a realistic challenge with topic switching #NLProc arxiv.org/abs/2110.00768
