weekly available time slots for group meeting and reading discussion
by Lifu Huang 31 Jan '21

31 Jan '21

Hello folks, I’m planning to resume the weekly group meeting and reading discussion starting from next week or the week after next one, depending on whether we can find good time slots for everyone. Please try to select all available time slots from the doodle link here: https://doodle.com/poll/nupmhkyddaw6xswc?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link. These slots are not just for next week but for the whole semester. Though each time slot is just half-hour, the group meeting and reading discussion meetings will all take one hour. For undergrads and MS students: You are very welcome but not required to attend both meetings. If you don’t know much about NLP, you can just sit in the meetings to learn what we are working on. If you have already gained basic understanding about NLP, machine learning skills, and have strong research passion, we can discuss to explore a research project. Note that I won’t be able to formally admit any undergrads or MS students to work with me until I confirm you have enough skills and we have great working compatibility. Best wishes, --------------------------------- Lifu Huang Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Virginia Tech
