Diagnosing Parkinson’s Disease is tricky. Instead of the blood tests and imaging used to help detect other diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart problems, clinicians must rely on observations of the way patients move and speak, which is an often long and painstaking process. Laureano Moro Velazquez wants to change that. A post-doctoral student […]
According to the Association for Computational Linguistics, the primary international scientific and professional society for scholars focused on computational problems involving human language, its Fellows are recognized for “contributions to the field [that] have been most extraordinary in terms of scientific and technical excellence, service to the association and the community, and/or educational or outreach […]
Computer Science professor Jason Eisner has been elected a Fellow of the Association for Computational Linguistics for “significant contributions to probabilistic models and algorithms for finding linguistic structure, especially lexicalized syntax and morphology.” Established in 2011, the ACL Fellows program recognizes members whose “contributions to the field have been most extraordinary in terms of scientific and technical […]
