How to Take Advice to New Researchers

Hady Elsahar is a Research Scientist at Naver Labs Europe. His research focuses on Neural Language Generation under constrained and controlled conditions. Hady's PhD was on interactions between Natural Language and Structured Knowledge bases for Data2Text Generation and Relation Extraction & Discovery, which he completed in 2019 at the Université de Lyon. We talk about his phd work and how it led to interests in multilingual and low-resource in NLP, as well as controlled generation. We dive deeper in controlling language models, including his interesting work on distributional control and energy-based models. - Episode notes: www.wellecks.com/thesisreview/episode44.html - Follow the Thesis Review (@thesisreview) and Sean Welleck (@wellecks) on Twitter - Find out more info about the show at www.wellecks.com/thesisreview - Support The Thesis Review at www.patreon.com/thesisreview or www.buymeacoffee.com/thesisreview
