I'm getting pretty busy.

Tomorrow morning (too early!) I'm giving a talk to the computational linguistics lab about classification methods (they wanted me to talk about SVMs but I think it's better to give the high-level view comparing nearest-neighbor, generative and discriminative models). I've got a neat language-modeling for machine-translation project that I haven't gotten time to start on (but I'm supposed to be 50% finished with -- bad grad student! no free snacks!).

In addition, I'm keeping up with the reading and homeworks for my syntax class -- fairly easy, really. The last homework mean was in the 70s but I had a 97 (makes me feel bad for those on the other statistical tail, really). Meanwhile, I'm supposed to be introducing the colloquium speakers (nudge, nudge [livejournal.com profile] caracola), keeping up with reading groups, looking for more funding, and (oh yes) working on my thesis.

Oh, and moving house. And [livejournal.com profile] imtboo is also going to be moving house. Yes, it will be a crazy month.

*goes back to work*

Do we share some weird star alignment these days or something?
Good luck with your busy-ness! And sorry for the lateness on the colloq intro!!!

I'm so glad you asked.

*puts on teacher hat*

It's a Sign Writing transcription of the American Sign Language sign for "linguistics", from Sign Bank.
