One of the least discussed social impacts of the pandemic.
(No, it's not from @xkcd, I used matplotlib to mimick his style)
Plot twist: "STOP THE COUNT" is an anti-aristocratic warcry to stop privileges of the nobility. Or someone trying to catch Dracula.
The US presidential elections are probably the most well known use case of a non-linearity (and one in which a linear function would arguably be better)
I just noticed twitter now suggests you to read the link of a tweet you want to retweet, bc you can't know the full story just from its title. That's good to see.
Pitfalls of "0.97 F1 on the dev set" with real world data
What do we need to scale NLP research to 1000 languages? We started off with a goal to build a monolingual corpus in 1000 languages by mining data from the web. Here’s our work documenting our struggles with Language Identification (LangID): arxiv.org/abs/2010.14571

New blog post: introduction to gradient-based optimization with constraints: reparametrization, projected gradient, cool connections in between.
🔮Geometry insights show that 🪞mirror descent = reparametrization with a "straight-through" sigmoid!

I'm not putting them on blast b/c they're a student, but I just ran across someone implying that GPT-3 correctly answered a medical question by using reasoning and underlying knowledge.
Language models simply do not do that. PLEASE don't use them for medical advice.
