NLP Montreal 2019 is a workshop on natural language processing (NLP) and understanding, with the aim to facilitate interactions between our partners, students and faculty members. The intended audience is individuals who are already familiar with the subject of natural language processing.
Organizers: Alain Tapp, Will Hamilton and Gabriel Prato
Scientific program: Will Hamilton, Jackie Cheung, Philippe Langlais and Alain Tapp
*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 and restricted to partners and faculties.**
***First come, first served. Only applications from Mila/IVADO/RALI/CRM partners, students and researchers will be accepted. Participants must be individuals actively involved in NLP research and/or development and priority to individuals committed to the Alliance NSERC NLP project will be granted.***
