emilymbender Fung at #acl2019nlp keynote talking about utility of empathy in chat bots.

EMB: I think that empathy suggests more than recognizing interlocutor emotion, namely a self that can enter into commitments. Is there a UX design path that could appropriately frame synthetic empathy?

fmailhot Are #NLProc leaderboards divided into "weight classes"? Seems like it would be good to have bucketed ranges of e.g. # of params, amount of data, compute time, etc. Presumably others at #acl2019nlp have thought more about this than me.

radamihalcea Great insight from Liang Huang’s #ACL2019nlp keynote: When it comes to simultaneous tasks such as speech-to-speech MT, “forget about sequence to sequence”, do instead prefix-to-prefix. Even during training when entire seqs are available, it‘s beneficial to only consider prefixes. pic.twitter.com/cswf1l8Ids
