Ah shit! Here we go again!

On the other hand: We have not just a tutorial but also a paper at EAMT! Song and Hour Kaing will attend IRL and present. I will be 📱!

Excuse me?

Did the reviewer just say: 'You used resources for English to improve English to XX translation because English has abundant resources. Now go develop resources for the XX languages.'?

That was not the point of our paper Asshat. We want to do MT, not make resources!

Our paper will have an Oral presentation slot. While I won't be traveling due to personal reasons, my coauthor
Nathaniel R. Robinson will be there. Alongside our CreoleVal work (accepted to TACL) this is one of the biggest and pioneering works for Creoles.

Mariko: The anjin prefers Gemma.

Intern farms anyone?

Looking back, COVID lockdowns feel like they were a fever dream. I can't believe we actually went through that.

I'm sure they made a mistake. It's Air Katakana you need to follow! Smh!

If you see 'GenAI leadership' in anyone's profile then it's safe to assume that they are 99% a fraud. No real leader needs to announce that they are one.

You know who is a real GenAI leader? Our lord and savior Andrej Karpathy. He is a teacher and a doer. The true master.

If you're not already following Yasmin Moslem then I strongly recommend you do. Yasmin has extensive experience in machine (and recently speech) translation, having spent a lot of time in industry. Lots of practical things from an application perspective to be learned from her.

Yesterday we had our first paper reading session in the AI4Bharat discord covering LoRA, DoRA and REFT (@aryaman2020). This is to be the first of many.
