Super proud of Cid, my high school buddy, who defended his PhD thesis on 'The Pre-Roman Elements of The Sardinian Language'.
You can spot me looking very sly in the background, playing paranymph, as Dutch tradition requires.

Very proud to be a "paranymph" for my longtime friend Jaap (we're friends since we were 6)!
He has done excellent work on Language Model interpretability before it was cool. Go check it out!

My PhD thesis is now available online! It is called "Finding Structure in Language Models" and presents the work I have done in the past 4 years on the intersection of NLP, interpretability, and linguistics.
I'll defend it on December 10, streamed here: jumelet.ai/phd

The word for today is…
paranymph (noun) -
1: a friend going with a bridegroom to fetch home the bride in ancient Greece. Also : the bridesmaid conducting the bride to the bridegroom
2a: best man
b: bridesmaid
Source : Merriam-Webster
Etymology : Paranymph resulted from the marriage of the Greek prefix para- and the Greek word for bride, nymphē. The prefix para- can mean "beside" or "alongside of," as is apparent in the word parallel, from the Greek word parallēlos, a union of para- and the word allēnōn, meaning "of one another." At one time, the word paranymph also was used for a person who solicits or speaks for another - that is, an advocate - but that sense is now very rare.

Yeah they have the best of all. Did my PhD in the NL, jury had grand old robes with fur and my two 'paranymphs' and myself had white tie (for men, my female paranymph had a formal evening dress). Not bad, but no sword! 🗡️

今日は9時集合で大学へ。先輩の博論ディフェンスのParanymphの役をやる。私の所属先のディフェンスと違うところもあって興味深かった。学内のカフェで打ち上げ。オランダの有名な先生たちと話せてよかった。今度は研究の場で会いたい。午後は先輩たちと川辺を散歩したり、カフェをはしごしたりした。19時の列車で帰宅。家には22:30頃に着くだろうか。

Jesuits were staunch supporters of the dogma of the Immaculate conception, so they tried to push it whenever. For instance, here at the university “paranymph”. And they chose one of the best in town, Pedro de Mena, to decorate the vault. The brocade in her robe is not original, though.
