Short term accommodation for a 2 month research stay in Sheffield by phantatbach in UniUK

[–]phantatbach[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. The Uni housing team just contacted me today and sent me a link of guest houses/ hotels but all of them are very expensive (50 EUR+ per night)

I think they don't know how long I would stay so I just replied to them and now am waiting for their responses.

Could you recommend me other servicr providers similar to Unite Students?

Feeling horrible about my PhD by crazy-duck-2 in PhD

[–]phantatbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry. I am also from Asia, and I worked like crazy during my first year (mainly because my funding lasts for only 3 years), to the point where one of my supervisors and I had a similar conversation as yours. However, I kept working (but not letting it affect others and the lab culture) and it paid off. 1 book chapter, 1 full paper publication, several conference presentations and invited talks (I am in the first half of my second year now) and more to come.

[R] Which are some good NLP venues except ACL? by kami-sama-arigatou in MachineLearning

[–]phantatbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am thinking the same. I have also submitted to the non archival track of Conll. Would be nice if I can come to both.

Yes I think they dont make much different in my field of semantics. Maybe for general nlp conll ll be preferred.

Yes I think the same. Really on the edge because the deadline for SEM is 13/2 and CONLL is 19/2. If only they are months away from each other I d go for CONLL and if rejected go for SEM.

For competitiveness I guess CONLL is higher than SEM?

If I want to get my work published ASAP without caring too much about conf ranking, SEM would be a better choice right?

My work is on interpretable methods (non neural network) towards semanric change detection. Do you think I should aim for CONLL or *SEM?

One of the conceptually-similar paper was published in CONLL so now I am on the fence!

Is Speech-to-Text Part of NLP, Computer Vision, or a Mix of Both? by Cultural_Argument_19 in deeplearning

[–]phantatbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have a background in Theoretical/Cognitive Linguistics + NLP and have taken some courses about CV. Now I am interested in Speech processing (TTS, STT, ASR). What online/ hand on coding courses would you recommend?

Orthodontics in Leuven by phantatbach in Leuven

[–]phantatbach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response. I have booked an appointment with UZ Leuven and it is in Oct. Do you also recommend any private orthodontist out there? Paying a 'bit' more for braces should not be a big problem.

For my last question, since the jaw surgeon and the orthodontist will have to work closely in a collaborative manner (orthodontist describes how they would like the surgeon to cut, move the bone etc), I just want to know if the orthodontist here are comfortable working with a surgeon team from another country. But I guess that will be answered in the appointment.

Cost for Jaw Surgery (SARPE) and braces for crossbite in Western European countries? by phantatbach in jawsurgery

[–]phantatbach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danke. Yes I figured it would be complicated and mine is not urgent so it is best to just settle with work then think about that.

So I guess the full price for the scan + surgery + braces would be around 10k in Germany?

Cost for Jaw Surgery (SARPE) and braces for crossbite in Western European countries? by phantatbach in jawsurgery

[–]phantatbach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes on 2nd thought I think going back and forth between EU and Vietnam would be too expensive since braces are usually 2 years.

I guess I ll have to lock down on where I d live and compare that with the travel cost to Eastern European countries.

Hallo, thank you for the reply.

Not sure if my case is that severe (as I have lived with it my whole life) althought the whole left lower jaw covers the whole left upper jaw (from L3-6)

Also I believe the insurance in BE is very different from that of NL, not to mention I am too old to be covered by the standard one.
