ABOUT THE EVENT
The topic addressed will include Natural Language Processing (NLP), which is a notoriously difficult area of research. The primary challenges in the past were definitional. What does it mean to communicate? How do we know when we "understand" a sentence or an utterance? Modern NLP has side-stepped many of these philosophical issues by proposing a purely data-driven approach enabled by access to rich data sets and various Deep Neural Network architectures. This has led to a rapid advance in the quality of certain tasks in NLP. In this talk we will discuss a few important papers that have established the current state of the art for NLP. In the process, we will look at the architectures which enable the most advanced Machine Translation, Semantic Parsing, and Entity Recognition methods available. We will also explore the research environments that have made these advances possible.
