NLP april-fools

Jason Eisner announces Unnatural Language Processing Workshop.

Eisner is just the kind of guy who would actually publish these papers, so if you have something in mind, send it!

I wish.

That's the best 4/1 humor I've seen yet.

seriously -- it's an april fools, for sure, but Eisner will publish them. I've met him, and it's exactly his sense of humor.

I mean, I wish I had something that I could submit. :) I believe what you say, sir.

though it occurs to me that programming languages (and conlangs in general) are exactly "unnatural language"s. and processing them is well understood but also an area of research; i was just reading about parsec.

I actually had the same thought when I first saw the subject line on his email.

But I prefer it this way, for my own amusement.

Frenchy stumbles in. Looks around. Tries to figure out. Doesn't get it. Sighs. Walks out.

sorry! in-jokes for computational linguists... not intended to be exclusionary (but obviously so)

:-(

Hehehe! That's the funniest AFD thing I've seen all day (of course, I would think so, being a computational linguist and all). :: steals it for Audhumla ::

I realize I'm parroting others but, that was funny. I got all the way to the end of the day and had forgotten it was AFD until now. I spent most of the day thinking it was April 2.
