#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.

Oh I also work at the LINGUIST List linguistlist.org, the linguistics community website.

Does any other field value conference publications to the extent that computational linguistics does?

I feel like it shapes the whole conference submission process. We don't submit abstracts or short papers, typically you submit what's going in the proceedings instead of an abstract.

Maybe I just think it's so different because Linguistics conferences typically do abstracts to determine who gets accepted.

Camera ready version of my Luyia pos tagging paper has been submitted!

I can feel my stress levels dropping.

I wonder if I can post my paper on my website. I imagine I can since all acl papers are creative Commons licensed.

It doesn't even look real.

The splunk tutorial has a child's laugh for admins who get a new report.

I think this is supposed to be funny but it honestly scared me.

The final release of the TuBa-D/Z corpus was just released. They've now got almost two million words annotated with a whole host of different grammatical markups.

Rdp with kde is so much smoother than vnc.

Oof... Indiana University is going to start requiring two factor authentication for sshing onto the compute clusters.

Don't get me wrong, 2fa is good. I just do not like duo (which is the client they chose). It's frequently caused errors when my cell signal or WiFi signal is low where it says the request has timed out in the app but the ldap server is still waiting for a response to its push.

I get in situations often where I have enough service to check my email but not enough to Auth email

Chevy monzas are my new favorite classic car.

they look modern and classic at the same time. Also, I always thought the scooped front with square headlights on the Trans am always looked kind of out of place but on the firebird and this car, they look like they belong.

Does anyone know if you can link a pixelfed to mastodon yet?

Debating whether it's worth it to get two e5-2680v2's for one of the nodes.

On the one hand, most mpi workloads do not perform well with asymmetric performance between nodes. You waste a lot of time waiting for the slower node to return if your problem can't be scheduled to take advantage of the fact that one node is faster. I think all_gather and all_reduce allow for modified scheduling but I can't quite remember.

But the the question becomes how often am I going to write mpi workloads...

This quanta windmill is a workhorse. One of my friends has been running an expectation-maximization algorithm he developed on the working node for a week now and all 16 cores are at 450 mhz over base clock with full utilization.

Definitely worth buying a new pwm generator for my second node.

I think a more qualitative approach may be better for my examination of why Tiriki works better than Bukusu. If I look through the words that the Tiriki models got right and the Bukusu models got wrong, what do I notice?

Got to put on my #Bantu hat.

Long weekend of driving back to StL but it was good seeing family and friends.

A bit jealous of my dad's garden. He's certainly farther along than I am. He also has a soaker hose setup though.
