Thanks everyone for the hard work on NAACL submissions! Hopefully we can hear good results soon. Please send me your schedule this semester so that I can schedule a meeting with you. Devel and Apoorv, you are welcome to continue working me. But if you have other plans, I would be happy too. You guys are great! Ying, since you are also part of the KnowledgeBot team, please also send me your schedule so we can have a weekly meeting for this project. For this semester, besides research, we will also work on the KnowledgeBot project for Amazon Alexa Prize, and our new DARPA project. Both of these two projects will be about acquiring multi-modal instructional knowledge, multi-modal grounding, conversation, etc. --------------------------------- Lifu Huang Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Virginia Tech

It seems it’s not quite safe to work/meet in the lab now. So, let’s still meet over zoom tomorrow. I will suggest everyone to work at home and not come to Torgersen Hall in the following days. It’s also better to have a COVID test before coming to the lab.
