Wicked, the movie. Ovvero l'Amica Geniale versione Il Mago di Oz. C'è Sarratore, c'è l'amica bionda, c'è la maestra, c'è la smarginatura, c'è Oz che non sa fare le magie e gli serve una brava, e Napoli è una Emerald City che non ci ha creduto abbastanza. #wicked #lamicageniale #sarratoremerda

My love language is LOIs supporting my project proposals.
This story marked my childhood. I was a few years younger than this kid and I remember the photo of him on the horse on every newspaper and on tv. It is indeed one of the stories that clearly marks the abyss between the romanticized Mafia fiction and the horrific reality
"and the people bowed and prayed / to the neon god they made"
The few reasonable contacts I have knew better than engaging with these guys, but their silence made it look like these anti-peer-review takes were indeed the mainstream opinion... (also, this post reached way more people outside my bubble)
I wrote a half-joking remark that "Every time you use non-peer-reviewed papers as evidence for a claim in your scientific work, a reviewer dies" on LinkedIn and all I got was a huge flood of anti-peer-review takes
Hello, world
Questa cosa della sovranità alimentare ti fa venire improvvisamente una forte voglia di tradire i tuoi principi e mettere dell'ananas sulla pizza. Così, per protesta. #sovranitàalimentare
Italy mourns the loss of Piero Angela today. He was a fantastic man who brilliantly used tv to make science accessible to everyone. His humbleness and his communication skills inspired all of us to be curious about history, biology, cognitive science, and more #PieroAngela
The wizard who during his kids show sprinkles a bit of "magic" (Magie) on his gadgets by using Maggi condiment, he is my new hero #itsakindofMaggi
Had a great time at CLASP yesterday! It's always fun to find "your people" who just happen to work in another town 😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce2yayBKXut/?igshid=YTgzYjQ4ZTY=
Not even 24h in #Sweden and I can already see how #PippiLongstocking challenges Swedish society. She doesn't conform, she has no respect for authority, she has people over for meals all the time ( #Swedengate) and she carries a big chunk of #cash wherever she goes
The "stone of wickedness" - up to 180 lbs - quarrelsome women were made to carry them through the city as punishment. Today we call it "strength training" #stoneofwickedness #quarrelsomewomen #strengthtraining https://www.instagram.com/p/CeeE43eqkfj/?igshid=YTgzYjQ4ZTY=
The little non-artificial intelligence in the house expressed some interest in learning go, so I had to oblige and try to teach him. Although I am rather rusty myself... #35kyu #9x9go #goban https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd57hUcKn3E/?igshid=YTgzYjQ4ZTY=
"Ich finde es gut und wichtig, dass über die Ethik bei der Sprachverarbeitung ebenfalls gesprochen wird.[...] Leider wird die Ethik bei KI-Themen oft nur als Randerscheinung/Nebeneffekt erwähnt und behandelt." Anonymous student feedback
How early can you assign an intent label to a query? What does it mean for the evaluation of incremental intent classification models?

1-to-1 German classes have been incredibly helpful. I've gone from "so blissfully unaware of gender and agreement I don't let it affect my fluency" to "painfully aware of every mistake as soon as it comes out of my mouth, paralizing my ability to speak fluently" in no time
"So there's people who study computer science..."
"and computer manners?"
"computer manners? Well you could say that's what mommy does"

Are German speakers information-theoretically efficient when they choose to use the base form of a compound (Wanne) rather than the full form (Badewanne)? I'll present this paper coauthored with Vera Demberg at #CogSci2021 tomorrow! (IP24: Pragmatics 1)...

The Proceedings of @iwcs2021 are out! And so is our paper on adapting a #temporaltagger to the voice assistant domain using a small amount of data, which we will present tomorrow. Looking forward to it! #SPEAKERProjekt @FraunhoferIIS #conversationalAI...
We are listeling to some nursery rhymes in German and I am amazed at how much overlap there is with the songs you hear at a beer festival. It's as if English speakers would sing "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands" when they get drunk.

For example offering courses which can help you get hired elsewhere and career counseling and having people who are in charge of your development as an employee #95vsWissZeitVG
Also my years as a postdoc taught me almost nothing to make me more hireable outside academia, I learned way more after I left, even if my position at Fraunhofer is still technically a postdoc and subject to the #WissZeitVG they take the Befristung more seriously
Also I was told by one lucky person with a long term job that 4 years for a postdoc is good, that I was lucky #95vsWissZeitVG
