The following list describes how Rob normally supervises, if you would like to deviate, please request this before the project starts. - The Proposal/agreement should be between 1 paragraph and 1 page in length, the word “analysis” has to be in there. - By default, we meet once every other week, if you would like an additional meeting, send an e-mail. Also, if you are not available or have nothing to discuss, e-mail to skip the meeting. - Rob's working times are often 07:00-15:00 - If you e-mail a draft one week before the deadline, you can get a full round of feedback. - There is the chance to present your project to the NLP group at ITU. Here you can hear what other students are doing and receive additional feedback. - There are no rules about the numbers of pages. In general, most projects end up between 4-10 pages with the ACL style files (https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files ). - Target audience: your co-students. - Rob will not give you deadlines; this is your project. - For background reading I strongly recommend: https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/ - In NLP almost all our papers are available for free on https://aclanthology.org/ . The highest quality is usually found in the *CL conferences and EMNLP. Note that you should also use the citations (.bib files) from here. - Rob tries to answer e-mails within 2 working days, if that does not happen he will e-mail that it takes longer. If he doesn't, he likely missed the e-mail somehow; please send a reminder. - We have a collection of good NLP projects done at ITU, Rob can share this folder with you - There is a bachelors course “NLP and Deep Learning” in the spring, and a masters course “Advanced NLP” in the fall. If you are not a data science student, you can of course join any of the lectures there if they are interesting/relevant for you. Ask Rob for the latest schedules if you are interested in this. - The above mentioened courses are occasionally recorded, Rob can share these recordings background. - If you want Rob to prepare something for the meeting, e-mail him well in advance
