drguidoknapp 1969: Die dt Brauer werben ua in der BRAVO, um Bier ein jugendlicheres Image zu verpassen. Vielen gilt es als Altherrenbrause. Slogan: "Bier ist nicht lapschig, klebrig-süß. Hat nichts Künstliches. Bier ist ehrlich. Echt und gut. Bier hat Wumm."

nsaphra QA: why scores and not probability distributions? Noah: Softmax is the source of a lot of uninterpretability!

nsaphra Noah just said he only likes methods he understand mathematically. A bold methodological diet!

nsaphra "Sometimes reduced capacity can be beneficial!" Oooo I'm feeling a return to old school learning theory here

nsaphra "Rational Recurrence" is a category of RNNs with a mapping to WFSAs -- unlikely to contain LSTMs, but does include a lot of recent architectures.

nsaphra But RR accuracy is really good for the very small parameter size!

via Twitter for iPhone (retweeted on 5:52 PM, Aug 2nd, 2019 via Twitter for Android)

nsaphra RRs are weighted automata, but with the weights as functions of vector representations, giving "soft patterns"

I'm tired as a disabled computational linguist to see the needs of disabled folx at *ACL events ignored, so I'm going to formally complain.

nsaphra QA now. Willem Zudema wants to ban the Chomsky hierarchy. Bob agrees that we should be more granular about abstract properties!

nsaphra Much Ado about result that LSTMs can't generalize Dyck (CFG-complete) languages to new recursive depths at inference. But are RNNs even closed under homomorphism? If not, then even if they can learn Dyck, it means nothing for general capacity to learn CFGs!

ArneKoehn So at I just gave several poster presentations (~15min) for a poster where I don't even know the authors -- they seemed to be on lunch break at the start of the session.

nimirea_ hey @ACL_NLP @ACL2019_Italy let's talk accessibility

this venue was NOT wheelchair accessible. will it be different at other conferences like EMNLP, COLING? unclear. info abt locations focused more on proximity of beach/Disneyland than access (mentioned for ACL 2020 at least)

OscarKocken Ik liep net door Hoog Catherijne en zag daar héél véél mensen die gedwongen waren om vernederende kleren te dragen. Tenminste, ík kan me niet voorstellen dat mensen die kleren vrijwillig dragen en wat je je niet kunt voorstellen is de waarheid toch?

bomelino in einem kleinen dorf lebte einst ein mädchen namens dörte die für ihren rhabarberkuchen bekannt war
deshalb nannte man sie rhabarberdörte
sie eröffnete eine kneipe
die rhabarberdörtekneipe
dort hatte sie schnell drei schlingel als stammkunden
