Language Technology: Research and Development Workshop

The final workshop will mainly take place on Campus. There will be two Zoom sessions (3a and 4a), which will be broadcast in a room, as well as available directly on Zoom. The Zoom link is avaiable in Studium. (If anyone else is interested in attending the Zoom session, please contact Sara Stymne (sara.stymne@lingfil.uu.se) for the link.)

We welcome guests who are not attending the course. However, due to restrictions, we might need to limit access to the class rooms. In that case, priority is of course given to students taking the course.

Note that this schedule is preliminary, and it is subject to change. A few more talks might have to be given on Zoom, which will then affect also other talks, to keep the Zoom talks to specific sessions.

Each student will have 12 minutes for presentation, followed by 3 minutes for questions.
