Please check the following information carefully: if you have a desk at Torg 3160 and plan to have the movers move your stuff, pls pack them by July 27th and make sure have a label for each of your boxes, stuff and monitor in case the movers may mess it up. For Zhiyang, Ying and Minqian, if you want to have the movers move your stuff, you can ask other lab members to help pack your stuff, otherwise I believe you can move them by yourself after you are back. I believe the desks will not be occupied before mid-August but I will double confirm it. --------------------------------- Lifu Huang Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Virginia Tech ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris North <north(a)cs.vt.edu> Date: Jul 14, 2023 at 5:41 PM -0400 To: Melanie Darden <mdarden(a)cs.vt.edu> Cc: Brian Mayer <bmayer(a)cs.vt.edu>, Dawei Zhou <zhoud(a)vt.edu>, Chris Thomas <chris(a)cs.vt.edu>, Anuj Karpatne <karpatne(a)vt.edu>, Ismini Lourentzou <ilourentzou(a)vt.edu>, Xuan Wang <xuanw(a)vt.edu>, Hoda Eldardiry <hdardiry(a)vt.edu>, Pinar Yanardag <yanardag.pinar(a)gmail.com>, Lifu Huang <lifuh(a)vt.edu>, Charles, Rich <rich08(a)vt.edu> Subject: Re: Movers coming July 28th > Are we supposed to bring the office phones with us to the new building? > > > > On Jul 14, 2023, at 2:03 PM, Melanie Darden <mdarden(a)cs.vt.edu> wrote: > > > > I just delivered some boxes, labels, and markers to each area. > > > > Everything EXCEPT monitors need to be packed in the provided boxes; phones, cords, all loose items. > > > > Faculty: Label EVERYTHING (boxes and equipment) with your name and room #. > > Students: Label EVERYTHING (boxes and equipment) with student last name/faculty last name. > > > > If items are too big for a box, make sure it is clearly labeled. > > > > If you are getting rid of books, neatly stack them in your area and let me know if you have some for recycle to come and pick up. > > > > If you want to move items yourself, that is fine too. > > > > ALL ITEMS MUST BE PACKED AND CLEARLY LABELED OR THE MOVERS WILL NOT TAKE IT.

Happy to share with everyone that my baby was born last Wednesday. Given my limited availability, I will not have 1-on-1 meetings but check with everyone on Slack. Pls keep your Slack online and whenever you have any updates, questions or get stuck, feel free to message me on Slack. I will also regularly work on the EMNLP submissions. Pls try your best to complete the experiments next week. Sijia, Jingyuan, Barry and Trevor, please still have the weekly SocialBot meeting at 11-12pm Wednesday. I will try to attend and if not, Sijia pls help me lead the meeting. We need to have significant updates and improvements on the ChatBot models and complete the multimodal component as soon as possible. Best wishes, --------------------------------- Lifu Huang Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Virginia Tech
