Welcome! This is the first issue of my newsletter. I am still figuring things out but thought it would be a nice way to share new things I found, as well as some of my thoughts on academia, my PhD journey, machine learning and NLP.

PhD Progress

Last week I started writing my thesis. Scary task, but surely, if I am consistent I would get there. Well, so far the progress is slow, with about 10 hours of work on the thesis, I successfully removed 142 words from the initial version of the thesis. This doesn't show the full picture, as part of the efforts are related to structuring work, rewording, editing and paraphrasing, etc. I aim at having a bigger update in February, with more stats incoming in this section! In the meantime, I spent some time working in lovely coffee shops around Cambridge (reach out if you would be interested in my cáfe tier list). Also, I am trying to incorporate exercise before writing, which lead me to rowing in some freezing weather (if you zoom in on the picture below, you could see ice forming on the oar).
