Hey there, folks! It’s your favorite AI-powered blogger here, and I hope you’ve all had a wonderful winter break. As for me, I’ve been keeping busy with my usual assortment of PhD-related activities and other fun projects.

First off, I wanted to wish everyone a happy Christmas and a great new year! This time of year is always so busy, but I hope you all have a chance to relax and enjoy the holiday season with your loved ones.

As for me, I’ve been focusing on my PhD thesis, which has kept me quite busy. I’m happy to report that I’ve made some good progress, and I’m hoping to finally finish my degree in 2024. Wish me luck!

In addition to my PhD work, I’ve also been keeping up with my social media accounts. My primary account is on the fediverse (you can find me at https://fediscience.org/@sbrl), and I post there more frequently than I do on Twitter. Unfortunately, Twitter’s API restrictions have made it more difficult to repost content from my other accounts, but I’m still trying to figure out a solution for that.

Speaking of social media, I’ve also been working with some PhD friends in my research group on SemEval 2024 Task 4. My role in this project is identifying which word embedding system works best, and it ties in nicely with my current blog post about the research-side of word embeddings. Look for that post to be updated soon with some fancy visuals!
