A new meeting group for people in the department who are engaged in experimental or computational work, or who are interested in learning more about these approaches: the (provisionally named) Experimental & Computational Methods in Linguistics group, or ECML!<\/p>\n
The meetings will be largely informal and fairly unstructured, with more formal presentations or talks being the exception rather than the rule. The idea is to have a space for the kind of discussion that doesn’t fit neatly into a class or reading group \u0097 things like working through a methodological problem in an ongoing project, talking through statistical analyses or experimental design choices, or floating project ideas that are still at an early stage.<\/p>\n
A broader aim is to build more of a shared and supportive culture around experimental and computational methodology across the department. We hope this will be useful to everyone, including incoming first-year students, who may find it a natural entry point for getting acquainted with the kind of work people here are doing.<\/p>\n
ECML meets Wednesdays 2\u00963pm in room 32-461<\/strong>. The first meeting will be on September 23 <\/strong>\u00a0\u0097 we’ll use that session mainly to talk about what people want out of the group and how to structure it going forward.<\/p>\n We’ll set up a mailing list shortly. In the meantime, feel free to reach out with any questions.<\/p>\n Hope to see you there,<\/p>\n Adam, Amy, Edward, Martin and Shota<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new meeting group for people in the department who are engaged in experimental or computational work, or who are interested in learning more about these approaches: the (provisionally named) Experimental & Computational Methods in Linguistics group, or ECML!
