A workshop on natural language processing and understanding, with the aim to facilitate interaction between our partners, students and faculty members. The intended audience is individuals who are already familiar with the area of natural language processing. Members of the scientific committee are still accepting proposals for short seminar-style talks (contact: prato.gab@gmail.com). Students are especially encouraged to submit proposals, and note that ensuring diversity in both speakers and topics is an important objective for the final program.
Note that the second afternoon is reserved for Alliance research group discussions.
