Just got thanked for http://t.co/t5D0E0ui64 by Djamé Seddah, sitting next to me. Knew me “from twitter”. (“sorry,” I said.) #NLP #humblebrag

“graduate student ascent” ha #NLP #academia #gallowshumor #optimization

Spitkovsky: “It’s enough we’re using graduate student ascent on this [unsupervised learning]; I don’t want to look at the data.” #emnlp2013

Spitk: “engineer builds a bridge, can tell you [what load it bears]; I cannot tell you if this will fall down or when.” #emnlp2013

Klein to Spitkovsky: restarts & parallelism? Spitk: grounded systems can be parallelized; whole thing could be random restarted #emnlp2013

Spitkovsky et al. working title (tx Jurafsky) was “the power of forgetting and starting over” – relevant for neurosci view too #emnlp2013

Spitkovsky et al.:build your (EM-like) training fork/join inductors. Structured thinking about inductors and search network #emnlp2013
