Decision on group project

Based on the doodle voting, we are going to work on “Semantic Textual Similarity”. Dr. Dan Goldwasser lead us through the paper “SemEval-2016 Task 1: Semantic Textual Similarity, Monolingual and Cross-Lingual Evaluation” and gave us a detailed explanation of this task. I-ta and Mahak will take the ownership of this project to manage the project.

Teach-me session by María Leonor Pacheco

Group member María gave us a hands-on tutorial on git-flow, which is really helpful for professional coding.

What will be in the next meeting?

Group member Pranjal Daga will present “Probabilistic Soft Logic for Semantic Textual Similarity”, and Cosmo will do a teach-me session of “Trello”.
