[fopen] Vortragsankündigung: "Understanding all the World's Languages"

[Stefi]

Hallo fOpen,

im Januar wird Slav Petrov von Google Research einen Vortrag über 
Sprachverarbeitung halten. Der Vortrag findet am 7. Januar 2013 um 13 
Uhr im MAR 6.011 statt. Weitere Informationen siehe unten.


> Title: Understanding  all the World's Languages

> Abstract:

> The impact of  computer systems that can understand natural language will be 
tremendous. To develop this capability we need to be able to 
automatically and efficiently analyze large amounts of text. In the last 
twenty years, the statistical revolution has brought tremendous 
progress, enabling us to build systems for speech recognition and 
machine translation that perform impressively well and are used by 
millions of people every day. In this talk, I will review some current 
challenges and success stories, and give an outlook of what might be 
waiting for us in the future. Particular attention will be paid to how 
the goal of understanding all the world's languages involves challenges 
in all areas of computer science because of its scale and ambition.

 > Bio:

> Slav Petrov is a Senior Research Scientist  in Google's New York office. He works on problems at the intersection 
of natural language processing and machine learning. He is in particular 
interested in syntactic parsing and its applications to information 
extraction, question answering and machine translation. Prior to Google, 
Slav completed his PhD degree at UC Berkeley, where he worked with Dan 
Klein. He holds a Master's degree from the Free University of Berlin and 
was a member of the FU-Fighters team that won the RoboCup world 
championship in 2004. His work on fast and accurate multilingual 
syntactic analysis has recently been recognized with best paper awards 
at ACL 2011 and NAACL 2012. Slav also teaches a class on Statistical 
Natural Language Processing at New York University.
