Spoken languages exhibit communicative efficiency by minimizing speaker+listener effort. What about signed languages? American Sign Language handshapes reflect efficiency pressures - but only in native signs, not signs borrowed from English! #ACL2024 🧵

My student Kayo Yin needs your help. Her visa has been unnecessarily delayed, which would prevent her from coming to UC Berkeley to start her studies. Despite bringing all required documents, the @StateDept refused to process the visa and it could take months to re-process.

How can we explain language model predictions? We use contrastive explanations to interpret LMs and show that they: - are better aligned with linguistic rules - improve model simulatability - help us characterize how LMs make decisions (w/ @gneubig ) 🧵1/7

packing/downsizing for a big move makes me realize that I should just burn the expensive candles and drink the nice wine whenever I want to, instead of hoarding them for a special occasion :')

How did I just learn that CMU is one of the only schools offering a major in bagpipes, now I want to orient my master towards a CS-bagpipes double degree 😍

I unfortunately couldn't make it to ACL Dublin this year, but I will be attending IJCAI in Vienna this summer (July 23-29)! I don't know many folks going to IJCAI so please please let me know if you're going as well 😊

It doesn't help that I'm spending this summer in the US, Japan, and France, and each country uses a different date format (MM/DD/YYYY, YYYY/MM/DD, DD/MM/YYYY respectively). Right now I'm in Japan and I keep buying food thinking it expires June 21 when in fact it's June @@ 2021 😅

I started journaling in 2021 and just completed my first 160-page journal! I'm grateful how this new habit helps me document how everything is temporary, even when I feel stuck each new day brings me a step closer to my goals, and all things will turn out good enough with time☀️
