re: no publications. Our goal is to respect the spirit and intent of the program, we want to support people at the beginning of their research career in machine learning.

So yes, if you published in biology 5 years ago but have no machine learning publications -- you are probably still a good fit for the program. If you have a workshop paper, but don't have any publications, go ahead and apply.

If you have several maintrack papers or multiple workshop papers, I think it is a little less clear you belong to this program. In cases like these where you already have a publication record, we have full time research scientist roles that may be a better fit.

Can people apply if they have ML publications but no NLP publications, and want to transition?

Often, the skills required to succeed at ML research transfer between different modalities (computer vision, NLP). So, if you have several ML publications one of our research scientist roles is probably a better fit to apply to.
