The 3rd edition of the Workshop on Multilingual Representation Learning will be co-located with EMNLP 2023 in Singapore.

The program of the 2nd edition of the Multilingual Representation Learning Workshop is now published and can be accessed through the website.

I will be serving as an Area Chair in the area of “Machine Translation” at EACL 2022.

Our recent study ‘Logographic Information Aids Learning Better Representations for Natural Language Inference’ will appear at the Findings of AACL-IJCNLP 2022. The paper shows the significance of logographic information on improving the quality of learned semantic information in language model representations and how it can help better solve semantic inference tasks.

I will be giving an invited talk at WAT2022, the 9th Workshop on Asian Translation collocated with COLING, on October 17th 2022.

ACL has confirmed the establishment of the new Special Interest Group on Turkic Languages (SIGTURK), which will aim to promote progress in the field of computational linguistics in Turkic Languages. I will serve as the Chair while Sardana Ivanova will serve as the Secretary.

Our paper “Quantifying Synthesis and Fusion and their Impact on Machine Translation” has been accepted to appear at NAACL 2022. The paper presents novel insights on the morphosyntactic characteristics of generated words by machine translation systems in languages with different morphological typology and was written in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, Aalborg University and New York University.

I will be serving as an Area Chair in the area of “Low-resourced and less-studied languages” at COLING 2022.

The Workshop on Multilingual Representation Learning (MRL) was organized for the first time in conjunction with EMNLP 2021 on November 11, 2021. Here are some highlights from the research findings presented at the workshop.

I have joined the Courant Institute at New York University as an assistant professor/faculty fellow and will be conducting my research on representation learning in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Kyunghyun Cho and the CILVR lab.
