Google Faculty Award: Fall 2015
I have been awarded Google Faculty Award (Fall 2015) in the field of machine translation. I am honoured to be a recipient of this award and will use it toward advancing my machine translation research further. For more details, see http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2016/02/google-research-awards-fall-2015.html.
DeepMind Q&A Data
One major issue with research in Q&A is that there is not a controlled but large-scale standard benchmark dataset available. There are a number of open-ended Q&A datasets, but they often require a system to have access to external resources. This makes it difficult for researchers to compare different models in a unified way. Recently, one such large-scale standard Q&A dataset was proposed by Hermann et al. (2015). In this dataset, a question comes along with a context of which one of the word is an answer to the question. And.. wait.. I just realized that I don’t have to
Lost in Interpretability
The Center for Data Science (CDS) at NYU has a weekly lunch seminar series. Each Monday, one speaker gives an (informal) presentation on any topic she/he wants to talk about, or at least so I thought. Anyways, I thought it would be a good chance to discuss with people (students, research fellows at CDS as well as faculty members from various departments all over NYU) what the interpretability of machine learning models means. I prepared a set of slides based on an excellent article <Statistical Modeling: The Two Cultures> by Leo Breiman. Instead of trying to write what I’ve talked
Summer School in Helsinki, Finland
I was invited to give lectures on natural language processing with deep learning at the DENIS Summer School held in Espoo, Finland this year. It was really good to be back in Finland after 1.5 years (or more like 2 years, since I was travelling France and Italy half of the month I stayed there 1.5 years ago.) The weather was amazing, the sauna was pretty cool (shame I didn’t have enough time to enjoy it fully!) and it was great to meet the friends and former colleagues there. The Summer School itself was also great with some awesome talks
