Wednesday September 28, 15.00-16.30
Title: "Natural" Natural Language Processing 
Speaker: Slav Petrov, Distinguished Scientist / Senior Research Director, Google

Abstract:  Natural language processing has often relied on intermediate (linguistically motivated) representations. Advances in representation learning are making it increasingly possible to train end-to-end models, even for complex tasks and with little supervision. We are increasingly also seeing multi-task models that perform well on a variety of tasks. In this talk I will review work in this area carried out at Google Research over the last couple of years and draw attention to some exciting results demonstrating that models can benefit from task descriptions and side information expressed in natural language, opening up opportunities for more "natural" interactions with natural language processing systems.
