DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to host Professor Ann Copestake\, Head of the
  Department of Computer Science and Technology here in Cambridge. Ann\, wh
 o specialises in Natural Language Processing (NLP)\, will be giving a talk
  on the intersection between language and artificial intelligence. \n\nAnn
  writes:  “Some of the earliest usable AI systems involved NLP - there w
 ere commercial machine translation systems and natural language interfaces
  to databases over forty years ago.  But NLP is very far from solved\, eve
 n using the immensely powerful neural network approaches that have become 
 so popular in the last few years.  I will start by talking about the state
 -of-the-art and describing some of the properties of language that make wo
 rking in NLP so challenging.  I will then go on to outline some of the wor
 k we have been doing in Cambridge on linguistically-informed neural approa
 ches.” This talk is sure to be fascinating for anyone interested in arti
 ficial intelligence and linguistics!\n\nMembers: Free | Non-members: £3\n
