Wenn die R's des Vortragenden gurgeln wie eine Harley und seine Automaten vage aussehen wie astrologische Charts, ist der Vortrag allein schon deswegen interessant... pic.twitter.com/4TD9J3bWdD

MurrayLeeA Me:
Who can give me an example of a determiner?

Student:
'them'.

Me:
Close! 'Them' is actually a pronoun.

Student:
'Give me them books'.

@tschfflr Not yet! In short: 1) you can change lexical categories (click on them, then type), 2) you can impose attachment constraints (click-and-drag along the grey blocks to say "this is a constituent"). A new parse then appears after a few seconds.

@tschfflr texttheater.net/ccgweb – you need an account to edit the derivations, I’ll send you a DM. It’s open source, too: github.com/texttheater/cc…

Another TODO: better rendering of CCG derivations for RTL writing systems. Tokens should run from right to left and slashes should be flipped accordingly, I think. But not sure about functional categories yet: should functors remain on the left or move to the right? pic.twitter.com/PhaBGz2FV3

The Russian group convinced me that a new type changing rule is needed for the empty copula, so I quickly added it behind the scenes. TODO: make it possible for annotators to do this directly. pic.twitter.com/EXJecfGbrf

IchBinJazz Kann man hier noch IRGENDETWAS schreiben, ohne dass einem eine Vergewaltigung an den Hals gewünscht/man als dumm bezeichnet wird? Wir brauchen vielleicht gar keine Bildung, sondern mal wieder Erziehung. Romulus und Remus wurden von Wölfen großgezogen und waren nicht solche Tiere.

KordingLab Science is about overcoming failures. List: (1) once I got to be professor, my first 23 grant proposals we're rejected. I am very comfortable now. (2) I was mediocre at school (~B) and particularly bad at stats. Much of my lab's work is close to stats now.

ESSLLI teaching highlight so far: had my class perform CCG annotation today online for an hour. It was SO MUCH FUN (for all involved, I think). ♥ 26 different languages, I learned a lot, very interesting discussions.

silviamg Last year my son, who is on the autism spectrum, said he didn't want to watch the show Atypical, about an autistic teen. Instead, he suggested I write a show about an autistic mother and son who fight radioactive mutants because it was "more relevant." I think he's correct. ;)

davidasilva having a Very Grad School Moment of agonizing over the exact wording and tone of an email to a professor that will inevitably receive a seven-word reply, four of which will be "sent from my iPhone"
