For full transparency: currently I am the person most in charge as an admin and mod of Sigmoid.

This is mostly because others on the gradient team are more focused on other stuff we do - I do run any major decisions by them, however.

But, if I do something wrong and the community calls for it, I'll happily give up admin access and let others step in.

Sigmoid is funded by the community, so we have both a moral and practical reason to do right by this community.

Always open to feedback ♥️

Hi! 👋

I am Abhilasha, a PhD student at #CMU. I like to talk about Natural Language Processing (#NLProc) and Machine Learning (#ML). I work on problems in model evaluation, with a focus on making NLP systems more interpretable and robust.

Happy to try and figure out Mastadon together!

#introduction #introductions

I am on the job market (faculty, postdoc, and industry)! I work on helping ppl communicate with machines, using language to improve AI agents, and examining how people communicate and reason. I'm looking for roles at the intersection of #NLP #ComputationalLinguistics and #AI

I will be at #EMNLP2022: please reach out to chat IRL or digitally!

#introduction

I'm Jelle Zuidema (a.k.a. Willem in my publications).

I do research on (& have opinions about) #NLProc, deep learning, #interpretability, bias, brain encoding/decoding models, & #EvolutionOfLanguage. Lucky to work with some wonderful PhD and MSc students on these topics.

I teach in the MSc Artificial Intelligence, Brain & Cognitive Sciences and the BSc Psychobiology at the U. of Amsterdam (#UvA).

Both excited abt recent progress in AI, & sometimes worried: #responsibleAI #xai

There's a lot of great advice on how to write a good SOP for (CS/NLP/ML) PhD applications out there, but how do you translate this to writing an actual statement? I try to show how I did this in a new blog post: https://saujasv.github.io/annotated-sop

Hope applicants find this useful!
