#NowReading #WindsOfFate by #MercedesLackey. This is the 4th trilogy in the world of #Valdemar that I'm reading and I utterly adore Lackey's worldbuilding and compelling storytelling.

Woke up a few hours early this morning to join everyone at #INLG2024 virtually! Thanks to the organisers ( @siggen_acl ) for the workaround to present the work even though I couldn't attend in person, and thanks to the folks who dropped by my poster, including @Saad among others :)

Paper is on the #ACL Anthology if you're curious: https://aclanthology.org/2024.inlg-main.20

Exploring the impact of data representation on neural data-to-text generation
