I have discontinued use of my old blog, as I haven’t posted there in months. However, there was a feature on that blog, and on my old notebook system where I had a locally-installed Wordpress, which I rather miss - namely, project pages. I haven’t had a page which keeps track of all of my various projects and my various lines of research, something which is necessary for me to keep track of all of my activities. Yesterdy morning at 4, after trying to bang something out in text to figure out how I was going to submit papers worth reading to NAACL-HLT and ACL, I realised I needed to make a new site to keep track of things again.
So, I’ve revamped this one today, and it only took me around 10 hours or so. I’ve redone the navigation bar, as you can see, and I’ve created pages for each of the research areas I am interested in. In each page is a list of the subtopics, within that area, that I would like to, have, or am currently researching. For projects, I’ve listed projects I am currently on, ones I do for fun, and those I do for language development. I am going to fill these pages out, in time.
Here are pages I wrote tonight:
I will work on filling the others out, and hopefully, this site will function as a much more lively place for me to show research that I am doing, on a daily basis. This may seem vain or self-important, in that I am releasing all of this information into the public domain - for me, I think that the benefits from other people seeing projects I am working on and possible collaborations coming from that, as well as the benefit of feeling connected to a community and being able to use web interfaces and grab information I need whenever far outweigh any negative reprecussions of having so much information online.
I’m looking forward to seeing much more use of this site, now that this step of completely moving over has occurred. I suspect that, when January rolls around, I will move the Burnt Fen over here, as well. Simplify, simplify.
