I'm leading a session with PhD students on developing elevator pitches for research. Does anyone have suggested readings, websites, or just general advice on the topic?
No one ever taught me how to do this and honestly I struggle with this skill. All suggestions welcome!

New work to appear @ TACL!
Language models (LMs) are remarkably good at generating novel well-formed sentences, leading to claims that they have mastered grammar.
Yet they often assign higher probability to ungrammatical strings than to grammatical strings.
How can both things be true? 🧵👇

Oh cool! Excited this LM + construction paper was SAC-Highlighted! Check it out to see how LM-derived measures of statistical affinity separate out constructions with similar words like "I was so happy I saw you" vs "It was so big it fell over".
