~ PURPOSE ~
~~~~~~~~~~~
Deep Learning is a branch of machine learning that has gained
significant traction in the field of Artificial Intelligence, pushing
the envelope in the state-of-the-art, with many sub-areas including
natural language, image, and speech processing employing it widely in
their best-performing models.
This summer school will feature presentations from outstanding
researchers in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep
Learning. These will include coverage of recent advances in
theoretical foundations and extensive practical coding sessions
showcasing the latest relevant technology.
The summer school would be of interest to novices and established
practitioners in the fields of natural language processing, corpus
linguistics, language technologies, translation technology and
cognitive studies. It will be held as part of the 12th biennial
conference on Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP
2019).
