#introductions Hey everyone. I am a PhD Student in Computational Linguistics. My main research interest is computational linguistics for under resourced languages. I am particularly interested in computational linguistics for Bantu languages because of the extremely complex morphology that they bring to the table.
I am also doing research in sentiment analysis on stance detection and irony/sarcasm detection. Most of my research is on machine learning approaches.

"Hong Kong protests are in their fifth month despite an escalating crackdown. How? One surprising answer: the fate of China's Uyghurs. Many talked to me about it. They watched and learned. They've decided that they 'may as well go down fighting.' My latest." - Zeynep Tufekci on Twitter (https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1194361687828242433)

Our lead developer was recently laid off from his job, your support via Patreon, Open Collective and other platforms means a lot during this difficult time.
We've come too far to give up now, progress may be slower for the next few weeks.

The next batches of the #PinebookPro are now shipping!
The next pre-order window opens on November 5th. A choice of ANSI and ISO keyboards will be available in this batch. So if you've been holding out for a correctly shaped Enter key (can you tell I'm an American? 😉), now will be the time to order!
Well recursion works on my web parser. Would ya look at this gem of a sentence it generated.

But also 8.3 billion parameters? Seriously? I can't but help feel like this is designed to sell Tesla GPUs. That's gonna take a lot of VRAM.
