Language identification still proves to be a challenging task, especially for web data. In collaboration with
@mlcommons.org
@eleutherai.bsky.social
@jhu.edu
and 97 community members, we created CommonLID, a new benchmark for LangID for 100+ languages!

I'm learning Rust right now and I'd recommend the experimental version of the Rust Book:
rust-book.cs.brown.edu
. The quizzes help you understand that you don't actually understand ownership 👍

One of the biggest obstacles to improving language technologies for low-resource languages is the lack of data. To address this, we need better language identification tools. So, we're organizing a shared task on Language Identification for Web Data!

Just seen a headline in one of the papers, saying Boris Johnson is about to publish his memoirs. A good time to remember this superb letter written during the pandemic.

Having spent the last few days incapacitated with a Covid-induced headache, I've come to the conclusions that a) I personally should have worn a mask at Worldcon and b) future Worldcons should have a mask mandate.

Worldcon was amazing! I loved meeting so many great people and listening to so many excellent panels. My TBR list from the con alone is now over 50 books long, starting with "Some Desperate Glory". I will start reading as soon as sleep has occurred.
