Today we’re joined by Emma Strubell, currently a visiting scientist at Facebook AI Research. Emma’s focus is bringing state of the art NLP systems to practitioners by developing efficient and robust machine learning models. Her paper, Energy and Policy Considerations for Deep Learning in NLP, reviews carbon emissions of training neural networks despite an increase in accuracy. In this episode, we discuss Emma’s research methods, how companies are reacting to environmental concerns, and how we can do b
