Where:
Hackerman Hall B17, 3400 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218
Abstract Text simplification aims to help audiences read and understand a piece of text through lexical, syntactic, and discourse modifications, while remaining faithful to its central idea and meaning. Thanks to large-scale parallel corpora derived[…]
Yuval Pinter (Ben-Gurion University – Virtual Visit) “Challenging and Adapting NLP Models to Lexical Phenomena”
August 11, 2021
When:
September 10, 2021 @ 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Where:
Hackerman Hall B17, 3400 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD
Abstract Over the last few years, deep neural models have taken over the field of natural language processing (NLP), brandishing great improvements on many of its sequence-level tasks. But the end-to-end nature of these models[…]
