Our survey highlights the enduring influence of linguistics on #NLProc. We emphasize 6 facets: Resources, Evaluation, Low-resource settings, Interpretability, Explanation, and the Study of language.
Happy to share that our paper, "Natural Language Processing RELIES on Linguistics," will appear in Computational Linguistics!

I learned a lot from this thread! It brings receipts
🧵 🧵 Let's talk a bit more about birthright citizenship. An explainer thread. The start of the 14th Amendment reads as follows:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Okay I didn't know part of being in #academia is roping in your family for your research mission. I now have family members finding dictionaries for me.

My unsolicited grad school applications advice since tis the season.
If you have access to a University Writing Center, make use of them.
The Writing Center at #cuboulder was really really helpful, and is generally an underused resource.
