Good morning all ☕

@quietphysicist You must have slipped in when I wasn't looking. Welcome.

@Lindy Thank you! 🙂

@quietphysicist Now I have to go google ML/NLP.

@quietphysicist Or...you could tell me a bit about it if you want. :)

@Lindy of course: machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). I am by no means an expert on either topic, but I work on a project where we're trying to automatically extract info from scientific papers and enter the info into a database, so ML and NLP come in handy for that :)

@quietphysicist Thanks. I can see how it would help you avoid a LOT of tedium.

@Lindy Exactly! For the particular database we are doing this for, there is literally only a handful of people currently doing this task manually, and there are dozens of new articles published every day that they have to go through.
