    "Sorry about my English" is an apology no one should feel necessary to give. We should normalize that English is not everyone's first language. We should downplay the importance of good grammar. It serves as a colonial gate-keeping mechanism

    I will no longer be speaking @PanAfriconAi due to the guest of honour: Ethiopian prime minister. The seige of Tigray is an insane violation of human rights & has hurt members of my African AI community. I hurt for them & I cant see past that. I am sorry ☮️🕊️🌍

    Some bloke tried to hit on us last night. He asked us how we all met. So I whipped a research paper out of my bag & proceeded to drunkardly explain it to him. He was not ready 🤣

    Today I gave my Responsible NLP lecture to my NLP class which I have been excitedly preparing for, for a while now. My student @ArnolFokam immediately made some memes and they're so great so I have to share

    There is a fundamental problem that most organizations doing ML fail to address. Data are Dynamic. Datasets are not. The entire field has been built around the 2nd. It's one of the many reasons the field is so messed up

    ML world! 👩🏽‍💻 1. What's your strategy for picking papers to read? 📃 2. Is your paper reading adhoc or do you have a reading routine? 📔 3. What tools aid your paper reading? 🔧🔨 4. Do you ever feel fatique from paper reading? 😩 5. Do you feel guilty reading other topics? 😫

    Hi, I'm a ML engineer. You might know me from my bangers "Those models aren't comparable", "why are the Nvidia drivers borked again?" and the chart topping "You can't deploy an jupyter notebook into production!"
    Hi, I'm a remote engineer. You might know me from my bangers "sorry I'll mute, there is someone with a leaf blower outside", "can you zoom now" and the chart topping "did I tell you, I work remotely?"

    I'm tired of ML. What's a cool field to dabble in for a while?
