[Matthias Gallé]

Advanced Language Processing School (ALPS)
January, 17-22 2021
Autrans (Grenoble area) - France

We are about to close the application process for the first Advanced
Language Processing School (ALPS) in Grenoble, co-organized by University
Grenoble Alpes and Naver Labs Europe.


*Target Audience*
This is a winter school covering advanced topics in NLP, and we are
primarily targeting doctoral students and advanced (research) masters. A
few slots will also be reserved for academics and persons working in
research-heavy positions in industry.

*Characteristics*
This winter school aims to provide talks of renowned NLP researchers, as
well as creating an ideal environment to foster collaborations

The speakers are:
 - Isabelle Augenstein: _Interpretability and Explainability for NLP_
 - Tim Baldwin: _Natural Language Processing for User Generated Content_
 - Kyunghyun Cho: _Neural Sequence Modeling: Learning and Inference_
 - Yejin Choi: _Neural Commonsense Knowledge and Reasoning_
 - Grzegorz Chrupała: _Visually Grounded Models of Spoken Language and
their Analysis_
 - Claire Gardent: _Neural approaches to Natural Language Generation_
 - Sanjeev Khudanpur: _Recent Advances in Automatic Speech Recognition
(TBC)_

In addition to the talks, an important aspect of this school is the
interaction between participants. The registration fee covers full board in
a residence close to a ski resort, and some of the afternoons we will
organise social activities.

In view of the current public health situation, we are preparing to hold
the event virtually in case it will not be possible to do so physically in
January. Registration fees will be adapted in that case.
*In any case, if you would like to participate you should apply before the*
deadline of Sept 6th*.*
