Estimados,
La semana que viene nos estará
visitando el Prof. Horacio Saggion, chair de computer science e
inteligencia artificial en TALN-DTIC de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra,
Barcelona. Horacio es un investigador que trabaja en Procesamiento de
Lenguaje Natural desde hace muchos años, y va a dar dos charlas sobre
temas de PLN muy pujantes. Es un placer para nosotros invitarlos a las
siguientes charlas:
- Lunes 18/9 a las 18:00 en el salón 701: "An Introduction to Natural Language Processing for Sign Language Processing in the SignON Project".
Abstract:
The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has considerably
advanced in recent years thanks to a paradigmatic shift caused by the
availability of massive amounts of text, deep learning models and
powerful computational resources. NLP technology is currently available
for many domains and languages, notably translation between spoken
languages has considerably evolved. However, where Sign Languages (SLs)
are of concern it is fair to say that NLP is in its infancy. There are
many reasons for the current situation due to the specific
characteristics of SLs and to the lesser availability of resources for
most SLs. The field of SL processing has long been the concern of
computer vision research: tasks such as sign language detection, sign
language identification, sign language segmentation have all been
addressed within a computer vision paradigm. However, given that SLs are
natural languages, a multi-disciplinary approach which includes
linguistics and computational linguistics research in addition to
computer vision should be considered in this area. In this talk I will
provide an overview of problems and methods used in Sign Language
Processing with a focus on NLP.
- Miércoles 20/9 a las 18:00 en el salón 701: "Natural Language Processing for Accessible Information: Simplifying Words in Context and Beyond."
Abstract: Text is by far the most ubiquitous source of knowledge and information and should be made easily accessible to as many people as possible; however, texts often contain complex words that hinder reading comprehension and accessibility. Therefore, suggesting simpler alternatives for complex words without compromising meaning would help convey the information to a broader audience. In this talk I will cover current efforts from our Laboratory to address multilingual lexical simplification. I will describe a new approach we are investigating to make lexical simplification more “controllable” and report our latest findings.
Están todos invitados.
Saludos,
Luis
