We are excited to invite you to the first North Africans in NLP social event!
We welcome NLP & AI researchers who are North African and/or are based in North Africa to attend our panel discussion with an exciting line-up of speakers, and to participate in our two networking sessions. EMNLP registration is not required for the entire event.
We highly encourage North Africans to apply here for a subsidy to attend EMNLP 2020, regardless of whether they have an accepted paper.
The goal of this social is to create a sense of community among North African researchers in NLP & AI, to increase the visibility of North Africans within the #NLProc community, to highlight their accomplishments, and to acknowledge and discuss the hardships faced by North Africans in the field of NLP.
