#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.

@bgcarlisle how essential is speaking French in Montreal?

Til about the hyphenat package for latex and the \nohyphen command.

Really wish I would have know about that two years ago.

i'm trying to get work done

I got the Fred Householder outstanding graduate paper award!

This is my last friday section i'll teach :( it's been a blast and I've learned so much.

What do y'all use as a testing framework in c++?

I know there's a boost option but I'd like to hear what else is commonly used.

Just got my qualifying exams approved! Candidacy here I come!

Built a deep learning machine for a friend. Now wishing I had the money to build an identical one for myself.

The unique thing about this one is that he only uses foss so cuda was out so I ended up doing an all amd build.

I have to say this vega56 is not too shabby for $300 and installing everything was much less frustrating than using nvidia.

A sorority on campus has a sign that says "if she doesn't remember what floating handles are, she's too young for you". I think i'm too old to understand this reference.

I was finally able to go to one of the linguistics colloquia since my friday sections were canceled for little 500.

I got to see a really interesting talk by Michael Adams about the linguistic reality of slang. Really cool even though I don't do anything in that domain.

Talked with someone who had a beautiful datsun 240z about his car. Those are some of my favorite older cars.
