Last leg on our brief history of NLP (so far) is the advent of large language models with GPT-3 in 2020 and the introduction of learning from the prompt (aka few-shot learning).

Sorry to miss it in person and that I cannot stay for the panels on: teacher, gender, inclusion, decolonisation, and future action. Lovely to see and hear so many wonderful colleagues even from a distance.
My fun memory was the cartoon by the talented (then PhD student) Kalifa Damani during my talk on silent exclusion at the REAL Centre in January 2020 before the world shut, and many fun moments with Pauline Rose over the years.
Congratulations! The achievements are remarkable.

UK legaltech Definely secures $30M to boost global reach and AI development
UK legaltech company Definely has raised $30 million in Series B funding to accelerate its global expansion and AI product roadmap. This additional funding brings the total amount raised by Definely since its inception to $40 million. Launched in 2020 by Nnamdi Emelifeonwu and Feargus MacDaei, Definely was born from lived experience, including that of co-founder MacDaeid, who is registered blind after being diagnosed with a degenerative eye condition at age 11. Throughout his life, he consiste…

A synaptic map of the hemibrain connectome of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using EM reconstruction techniques. Neurons are labeled by their type. Edges are annotated by the connection strength between the neurons.

Enhancing air-shower observations: Results from an IceCube Surface Array Prototype Station
The Surface Array Enhancement of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is set to equip the existing surface cosmic-ray array of ice-Cherenkov detectors, IceTop, with radio antennas and scintillation detectors. This can lower the energy threshold of detection and increase the measurement accuracy of IceTop. The antenna readout uses a multiplicity trigger from the scintillation detectors. A fully functioning prototype station of the enhancement was deployed at the South Pole in 2020 and upgraded in 20…

Symmetry and symmetry breaking in interpolation inequalities for two-dimensional spinors -- Preliminary results
On the two-dimensional Euclidean space, we study a spinorial analogue of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality involving weighted gradient norms. This (SCKN) inequality is equivalent to a spinorial Gagliardo-Nirenberg type interpolation inequality on a cylinder as well as to an interpolation inequality involving Aharonov-Bohm magnetic fields, which was analyzed in a paper of 2020. We examine the symmetry properties of optimal functions by linearizing the associated functional around radial m…

“A cautionary history: In 1999, the US coal industry claimed that information technology would need half the nation’s electricity by 2020, so a strong economy required far more coal-fired power stations. Such claims were spectacularly wrong but widely believed, even by top officials. Hundreds of unneeded power plants were built, hurting investors. Despite that costly lesson, similar dynamics are now unfolding again.”

SRGAJ230631.0+155633: an extremely X-ray luminous, heavily obscured, radio-loud quasar at z=0.44 discovered by SRG/ART-XC
We report on a detailed study of a luminous, heavily obscured ($N_{\rm H} \sim 2 \times 10^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$), radio-loud quasar SRGAJ230631.0+155633, discovered in the 4--12 keV energy band by the Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescope aboard the SRG observatory during the first two years of its all-sky X-ray survey in 2020--2021. The object is located at $z=0.4389$ and is a type 2 AGN according to optical spectroscopy (SDSS, confirmed by DESI). We combine radio-to-X-ray data, including near-simulta…

Least Squares Estimation For Hierarchical Data
The U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) bases its output on noisy measurements, which are population tabulations added to realizations of mean-zero random variables. These noisy measurements are observed for a set of hierarchical geographic units, e.g., the U.S. as a whole, states, counties, census tracts, and census blocks. The Census Bureau released the noisy measurements generated in the DAS executions for the two primary 2020 Census data products, in part to allow da…
