Vilinthril Bei aller Kritik an beiden Projekten find ich's trotzdem symbolisch schön, dass DieM25 und Volt mit je einem MdEP vertreten sind.

MeaningBank Embedding spaces have not been treated fairly! Our colleagues at CLCG Groningen looked critically at the much cited analogy "party tricks". Check out their paper "Fair is Better than Sensational: Man is to Doctor as Woman is to Doctor": arxiv.org/abs/1905.09866
evanmiltenburg Nice work by Matthijs Westera and Gemma Boleda: “Don’t blame distributional semantics it can’t do entailment” (IWCS 2019): mwestera.humanities.uva.nl/downloads/West…
The authors argue that DS provides a model of *expression meaning*, which differs from *speaker meaning* (where entailment resides).

RT @rikvannoord: 6/7 This is not beneficial for dealing with the problem of actual biases in word embeddings. Moreover, these are usually n…
rikvannoord 5/7 (ii) then, the analogy task doesn't work that well (no "queen" for "man is to king as woman is to X", but "king") and (iii) analogy-based biases have often been overemphasized in the literature.
rikvannoord 1/7 Do word embeddings really say that man is to doctor as woman is to nurse? Apparently not. Check out this thread for a description of a short paper I co-wrote with Malvina Nissim and Rob van der Goot, available here: arxiv.org/abs/1905.09866 #NLProc #bias
ojahnn R-grams perform only slightly worse than standard tokenization on word embedding benchmarks. Word bias is a partial explanation for the lack in performance. Future work: Can we build embeddings directly on the grammar? Is it limited to text? Does it improve SoA models? #IWCS2019
ojahnn Putting "word" in scare quotes because treating everything between two spaces as one word breaks down quickly when you look at Mandarin or Finnish. #IWCS2019 R-grams are supposed to be more useful across languages with different morpheme-per-word densities.
ojahnn The best student paper at #IWCS2019 is being presented by Amaru Cuba Gyllensten. It sounds really cool! It's about creating R-grams, which are kind of between the "word" and character level, with the aim of getting more semantically meaningful reps. Paper: aclweb.org/anthology/W19-…
asayeed Gyllensten: evaluating word/character compromise embeddings like R-grams is hard with standard benchmarks because of word-basedness of the benchmarks.⬅️ Biased against non-word embeddings which may actually be better. #IWCS2019
asayeed The R-gram concept is an unsupervised way of finding an embeddings space that is more agnostic about the notion of "word" #IWCS2019 @iwcs2019

AfD: little higher than pre-surge 2014 result
Wilders: massive fall
Baudet: underperforms
Predictably, #EP2019 proving more complicated than "march of the populists" narrative.
FridayForFuture Wenn die Parteien in Deutschland nach der heutigen #Klimawahl jetzt endlich handeln wollen - hier eine Hilfe:
Für 2019:
Ende fossiler Subventionen
1/4 Kohlekraft abschalten
CO2-Abgabe, die Folgekosten entspricht
Nettonull 2035
Kohleausstieg bis 2030
100% Erneuerbare bis 2035
