Thread: Last week, a list of 100 important NLP papers ( https://github.com/mhagiwara/100-nlp-papers) went viral. The list is okay, but it has almost *no* papers with female first authors.
NLP is rich with amazing female researchers and mentors. Here is one paper I like for each area on the list:

Finally, read Yejin Choi. I tried to add one of her papers, but her work really transcends these categories.
