Antoniak opens signups for weekly NLP Reading Group on Zoom

TL;DR

  • Maria Antoniak at the University of Colorado Boulder runs the group, which meets weekly on Zoom.
  • Sessions run one hour: 30 minutes of independent reading followed by 30 minutes of discussion.
  • Reading preference is NLP or adjacent fields including ML, HCI, digital humanities, and computational social science.

Maria Antoniak of the University of Colorado Boulder runs a weekly NLP Reading Group that meets, per the signup form, "virtually on Zoom every Monday at 10 AM MT / 12PM ET / 9AM PT." Sessions split evenly between 30 minutes of independent reading and 30 minutes of discussion.

Participants bring their own material, with a stated preference for work on natural language processing or adjacent fields such as machine learning, human-computer interaction, digital humanities, or computational social science.

Access is gated. New applicants Antoniak does not already know are asked for "a website link, social media link, and/or description about yourself," a step the form ties to preventing unauthorized Zoom access. Two of the researchers we follow shared the signup link recently, a small signal that the group is still actively recruiting.
