Wow. I just had a 10-year-old paper of mine get its first citation. I guess someone read it after all! 🙏

Happy to share that I just put our D&D FIREBALL (https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.229/) data up on HuggingFace🤗!
https://huggingface.co/datasets/lara-martin/FIREBALL
It's a cool dataset that I'd love to see more people using.

It contains structured state information and narrative to help make D&D-playing AI!

Very excited to finally put out my work on #AAC (communication accessibility) devices for #AutisticAdults. Working with masters student Malathy Nagalakshmi during my postdoc at Penn, we did a deep dive into how AAC can be improved from both society & technology/#NLProc perspectives.

You can find the preprint here:

Do you do AI research in story generation or interactive fiction playing generation? Do you have a cool narrative system that you want to show off but don't know how to?
Submit to the Wordplay Workshop @ ACL 2024!

Looking for a tenure-track faculty position in CS? UMBC's CSEE department is hiring!! https://apply.interfolio.com/133579
UMBC is an amazing school that is actually dedicated to an inclusive culture that supports diversity. Plus, we became an R1 last year, so exciting things are happening!

In a couple weeks (on 10/4 to be exact), I'll be giving a talk at UMD's CLIP colloquium! I'm super excited to visit UMBC's sister school near DC and meet all the great faculty (& future collaborators?!) there. More details to come.

@tastytronic@teh.entar.net it's a They Might Be Giants shirt that parodies the Satan is Real album

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I wrote a blog post about the recent writers' strike and my opinion about it as someone who researches story generation AI.

Oh, yup. There's the final nail in the coffin for me, folks.

I made the mistake of going on Twitter a couple days ago. 😩
I think I'm quitting for good.

Replying to @RL_Dane@fosstodon.org

@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org Yeah! I used to be a masters student for Alan Black (voice awb), and I persuaded him to let me record myself. it didn't take much because apparently not too many people want to sit in an airless soundproof both for several hours. It's been a while (6 years?) since I used Flite on my phone, but I know you can download the voice files separately.

@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org ooo do you actually use Flite? I haven't heard of many people using it. I'm voice LJM!

I'll do my #introduction now!
Hi, I'm Lara. I am a #CIFellows postdoc at UPenn working with Chris Callison-Burch. I do automated story generation mostly (#NLProc and #DnD research!) but am branching out into Augmentative and Alternative Communication #AAC.

I'm currently looking for tenure track faculty positions!

If you follow me, in addition to tech & academia, I'll probably toot about gaming, queer stuff, and dogs.
