ACL 2017 paper, by Yusuke Oda and others (including Graham Neubig) at Nara Institute of Science and Technology (Graham is now at Carnegie Mellon University).

Graham comes on to talk to us about neural machine translation generally, and about this ACL paper in particular.  We spend the first half of the episode talking about major milestones in neural machine translation and why it is so much more effective than previous methods (spoiler: stronger language models help a lot).  We then talk about the specifics of binary code prediction, how it's related to a hierarchical or class-factored softmax, and how to make it robust to off-by-one-bit errors.

About me and my music :) all struggles for academia again #determined!!
"Work has started" :D at the "Ministry of National Education" on 10.09.2019 "legally" .. A perfect stepping stone for gaining my ex-career at academia back !! 
And, comparatively easier working conditions and satisfying salary when private sector in the country taken into account and more free time and legal permission for my doctoral studies .. :) 
And it feels as if state has returned to me with the "Abundance of Financial Redemption" ..  However, the thing that "I really care" is the "Psychological Redemption" I deserve for all of those unfair treatments in the last 3 years.. 
#education torch #education fire    #flames -> #fire -> # :))!!  
# P.S. I've been searching for "Apple" and its representation in different forms of art through different art tools :) #literature #art #music #education #LOVE  and SO on ;) :D :D 

"and we’ll get to work!" :D .. next week .. As I stated before, "Clouds are temporary; but the Sky is permanent " .. Justice came really late (approximately 3 years); yet AT LEAST it came ;)!! .. All "legal" documents have been handed in and the related process has been completed.. 
Thanksfully .. thanksfully.. thanksfully ..
flames -> fire ->  :)! ..
Just like that ;)! Just like that ;)! ..

From now on I'm a permanent member of Turkey Ministry of National Education ..
#Teacher #teaching at all levels #learning #giving and taking lessons #education #colleagues #students #friends #all of their love and prayers #way to the academia from the scratch #dreams and their realisations ...
#support #help out #musician ... #did it ..
#flames => fire => .. 

Out of 2.000 vacant positions in approximately 70 cities in the country, I was given the right to choose 40 schools at different levels changing from primary to high school.. I did my best in "order of priorities"... 
"All I Can Do" from now on is just waiting the result ... 
# The sooner, the better :)!
# The closer, the better :)! 

Has the World started to rotate reverse ? Just a few minutes ago the vice-manager of the school I've worked at the Ministry of National Education called me to offer me  a job :)! Not longer before; but approximately 2 years ago nearly no institutions would accept my own job application to them .. 
However, in recent days I'm focused on the school selection process in relation with the recent interview I passed... 
A school at primary/secondary level yet closer to home OR a science-based high school but further to home ? ? ? ... THOUGH STUFF to deal with :)!! 
But all is pretty nice and I'm thankful ... 
#economicality principal of education #no more closed doors #education fire # education torch :)!!! #fire ... #flames ... #hopeful :)))!!! ... 
Passed the interview for the Ministry of National Education on 4th July ; for better positions- (at last!! after 2 falls)- with a triumphant success order :)! ... Now the crazy questions on my mind; Which city ? Which level ? Which School ? ? ? :) which which which :) ? ? ... 
By the way "Just Like That" and "Yellow(Dark Pink) Tulips"  are going to be re-mastered .. Related art unit has already been informed :)! #my brother #help #respect for the art and the artist #support #musician #musicians #music #success :)!  
One of my recent slogans in relation with my life; "Behind every successful woman/instructor, there is at least one musician always supporting her :)! " ... 
Doctoral student :)))!!!  ( on English Language and Literature Program) !!! 
Teacher of English & Translator... I have been working for the Ministry of National Education recently... Music lover.. Born to a family of musicians.. My father is a multi-instrumentalist, my brother was also a pianist, but in recent years he has been working as a Tax Inspector for The Ministry of Finance...  Recently, we have been discovering the expressive and realistic sounds, recording features, and esp. studio pecularity of Yamaha Tyros 4 .. Hope you enjoy the tracks :)))!!!
