A Primer on Language Modelling #40

Closed shaksham95 closed 4 years ago

shaksham95 commented 4 years ago

Title of the talk Advancements in Language Modelling

Description In this talk, we will take a look into the recent acceleration in building NLP systems which were enabled by a shift of paradigm: for a long time, we used pre-trained word embeddings such as word2vec or GloVe which are now being "replaced" by advanced language models like ELMO, BERT, etc.

Topics to be covered:

Prerequisites Basic familiarity with NLP and DL is good to have.

Duration The session will be around 60-75 minutes (including QA) ❤️

Thanks, Mayank. I have on request, it would be helpful if you can arrange for a whiteboard and markers. We might be needing them for explaining some concepts.

Hi,

Please send a small write-up about you for introducing you.

We will be recording your session. So if you have slides/demo/paper. Kindly keep it handy.

Also, you need to install screen recording software which can capture the presentation on your laptop.

If you have any other alternate go with that if not then please go through the following readme to get an available screen recorder for your OS: https://github.com/sigmakappa/ScreenRecorders

Let me know if a screen recorder for your OS is not available here. Also, after installing do testing of it that it is working properly or not. Also, please give confirmation, once done with screen recorder testing stuff.

Thanks Mayank Mishra

Hello Mayank,

I have been playing around with ShareX (OS: Windows) and it seems to work fine. It's capturing the entire screen, do we also need to capture audio?

Thanks Shaksham

mayankskb commented 4 years ago

Cool! Audio we will capture

Thanks Mayank

Hey Mayank,

Sorry about the recording. I have checked my ShareX recordings and the session was not recorded. there is a 2-minute recording but it's not useful. We did start the recording before the session started but I am not sure why it didn't get recorded. Do you want me to record the presentations and share them with you? Or do you have any other ideas?

Thanks Shaksham

mayankskb commented 4 years ago

Hi,

One possible alternate about which I can think of is on the basis of your recording, you need to record the screen matching the time on which you were saying something in the video and the content on the screen.

shaksham95 commented 4 years ago

Yes, that sounds good. I can try that. From where can I access the recording?

mayankskb commented 4 years ago

Give me some time. I will notify you brother.

mayankskb commented 4 years ago

Hi Shaksham,

You can now check for your video recording in the same folder that I have shared above. Please have a look and upload screen recording in the same folder with name like "Shaksham - Language Modeling screen recording"

shaksham95 commented 4 years ago

Sure Mayank, I will take a look at it and will try to record the presentation accordingly.

shaksham95 commented 4 years ago

Hello Mayank,

I have recorded and uploaded the shareX recording for my session on the drive which you have shared. Please check that out and do let me know when the final video is out :)

Thanks Shaksham

mayankskb commented 4 years ago

Hello Shaksham,

Thanks for sharing the screen recording for the presentation. I will notify you after the completion of the final video.

It would take some time.

Thanks Mayank Mishra
