Hey! Here ARE some cool Visualizations

  • Came across some super interesting visualizations that describe what machine learning looks like inside an AI Brain. It describes ResNet from Microsoft Research. This beautiful piece of work is by a bristol-based startup Graphcore 🙂

Ever worked on NLP problem that takes two text / reviews as an input and tells you if it is written by the same author or not 🤔? Ever thought why do some stories succeed and some fail 😕? How narrative beliefs affect human behavior 🤨? Last week I was a part of EMNLP conference that answered these questions.

Few interesting tracks to me in this conference were ‘Computational Social Science and Cultural Analytics’, ‘Linguistic Theories', Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics’, ‘Financial Opinion Mining’, and many more.

It was good to observe work towards saving endangered languages and a stat that I never knew about which is more than half of the languages in the world have less than 10000 speakers 😕. Attached below is an image of what world’s linguistic diversity looks like from Paris 🧐. This was shared by Steven Bird, a professor at Charles Darwin University in his keynote speech. In the center, is a high-resource language and as we move outward, we move towards under-resourced languages, acutely under-resourced languages, and zero expert resources.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience to be a part of it🤩🙂

Last week, I was a part of this amazing conference sponsored by Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) 😀. Some research work that are rarely spoken about were a part of it. While working with textual data, I have always wondered the role of emojis 🥲🥲 and how that could processed to derive insights from it 😎. Also how the meaning of sentences differ when you use the same sentence with different emoji.

For example:

1. "visiting my cousin tomorrow"

2. "visiting my cousin tomorrow 🤗"

3. "visiting my cousin tomorrow 😐"

In all these three sentences the sentiment is different.

Emoji 2021 workshop exposed me to the work that is carried out in the field of NLP and witnessing some interesting discussion among top researchers in this field "if emoji is a language" was quite insightful. I would like to thank Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) for providing me with scholarship to participate in this conference 😊

Health & AI

  • While exploring some visualization using Cytoscape, I came across one and zoomed in a bit

  • The zoomed-in visualization looks like the one in the image

  • It made me think to build something where nodes could represent diseases and the network can be possibly the symptoms. An analysis of how one symptom is connected to another while extracting some connecting relationship between diseases.
