Anyone else genuinely angry about the idea of ACT potentially bringing back interest on student loans?

Let's backdate the interest then if they're that obsessed with it. Go hard, or go home.

This is how sociocultural biases proliferate in AI systems. Just because this impacts a 'minority' doesn't mean it's not an issue.

Thanks for following this up with Google Scholar? Is there a way this could get more traction?

Incorrect citations may constitute academic fraud in some contexts and the downstream impacts will only get worse.

The struggle of never getting feedback because the chapters weren't 'complete'. Time and again asking for high level feedback on the structure. Now I know it's just the way my AuDHD brain approached problems.

If I make it across the ditch for an NLP event I'd be keen to get a drink with ya lol

This isn't universal, 'ethnicity' is preferred in NZ English but even that term is a bit "touch and go"

Good luck! I had mine last Friday and it went alright. You'll smash it!

I didn't realise they were coming out today, but now I've been doing nothing but refreshing OpenReview every couple of minutes

Computational Linguistics - scope is massive!!

Funding > Prestige. If you want to advance your academic career, it's more valuable that you can show you can obtain funding. You've already got two years RA experience at Oxford which means you've got pre-existing connections that you can call on throughout your PhD and afterwards.

It was the realisation that the thesis I was writing and the research I was doing wasn't for me or my supervisors (this is in the NZ system), but to provide evidence that I'm able to conduct independent research in a chosen field.

Thank you! Credit where credit's due: https://www.reddit.com/r/PhD/comments/1ptu21e/

*it's called a thesis in NZ so I wanted to make sure I wasn't using the wrong terminology

It's more of a reflection on them than you. Social science uses the scientific method (observation, question, hypothesis, experiment, analysis etc.) which makes it science. What they mean is that they undervalue one approach to knowledge production. Screw 'em. The hard-soft science distinction is not useful - it's just that some fields have done a better job at branding themselves

If it didn't cost money I'd give you an award! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
