#NLProc and #linguistics Twitter: do you have trouble keeping track of all the linguistic annotation apps that are out there? So do I and my colleagues, which is why I made the Map of Applications for Linguistic Annotation (MALA): lgessler.com/mala/

Communities are eager to make the arduous process of language documentation easier, and models from the 20+ years of research in low-resource NLP are poised to help. But many language documentation projects forgo the use of any NLP models. Why? (1/8) aclanthology.org/2022.comput…

Are you an #NLProc person who works with AMR for English semantics? We have a new aligner, LEAMR 🦥, which aligns all parts of the graph and is pretty darn accurate! The algorithm is based on good old-fashioned probabilistic modeling and EM. Data+code: github.com/ablodge/leamr
Take a look at our ACL camera-ready presenting our structurally-comprehensive AMR-to-text alignments. @complingy arxiv.org/abs/2106.06002
