We have just released Multi-SimLex v1: a new multilingual #NLProc resource for semantic similarity. It covers 1,888 concept pairs across 12 typologically diverse langs, plus 66 xling data sets. .
Multi-SimLex provides a new, typologically diverse evaluation benchmark for representation learning models. See our paper for experiments and interesting analysis:
But this is not all! We are also launching a collaborative initiative to extend Multi-SimLex to cover many more of the world’s languages! Please join us in this effort to create an extensive semantic similarity resource for the needs of contemporary multilingual #NLProc.We welcome your contributions for both small and major languages! Follow the guidelines at https://multisimlex.com to create and submit a Multi-Simlex -style dataset for your favourite language. All the contributions will be shared with everyone via the Multi-SimLex site.

Telegram and Signal Havens for Right-Wing Extremists
Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
What Is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that you can buy, sell and exchange directly, without an intermediary like a bank. Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, originally described the need for “an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust.” Each and every Bitcoin transaction that’s ever been made exists on a public ledger accessible to everyone, making transactions hard to reverse and difficult to fake. That’s by design: Core to their decentralized nature, Bitcoins aren’t backed by the government or any issuing institution, and there’s nothing to guarantee their value besides the proof baked in the heart of the system. “The reason why it’s worth money is simply because we, as people, decided it has value—same as gold,” says Anton Mozgovoy, co-founder & CEO of digital financial service company Holyheld.
