We are pleased to announce that the 2023 edition of Lectures on Computational Linguistics organized by the Italian Association for Computational Linguistics will take place on 29, 30, and 31 May in Pisa (IT).
The 2023 edition of the Lectures will focus on the latest models of learning and knowledge representation in mono- and multi-modal contexts, with particular reference to the latest generation of neural language models. Aspects related to the processes of knowledge generation and transfer, their interpretation and explicability will be addressed. The topics will be declined both from a theoretical perspective of linguistic and computer studies and in application scenarios oriented to Digital Humanities.
The program is available at: https://www.ai-lc.it/lectures/lectures-2023-it/
*Tutorials*: - *Computational linguistic methods for linguistic analyses – *Ellie Pavlick - *Grounding language in visual data: Models, datasets and recent results – *Albert Gatt - Transfer and Multi-Task Learning in Natural Language Processing – Barbara Plank - * Interpretability of linguistic knowledge in neural language models – *Afra Alishahi
*Lab activities:* - *Multimodality and NLP* – Alessandro Bondielli & Lucia Passaro - *Explaining Neural Language Models from Internal Representations to Model Predictions – *Alessio Miaschi & Gabriele Sarti
*Evening Lecture:* - *Computational linguistics for the humanities – *Simonetta Montemagni
The school is aimed primarily at doctoral and master's students, but is open to all interested. Participation is free but subject to registration. The event is organized by the Italian Association of Computational Linguistics (AILC) in collaboration with the Department of Philology, Literature and Linguistics of the University of Pisa and the Institute of Computational Linguistics "A. Zampolli" of the National Research Council.
The event is coordinated with the parallel event Ital-IA, the conference on artificial intelligence organized by the National Interuniversity Consortium for Informatics (CINI).
Students who wish to present aspects of their work in the "Student Presentations" sessions are asked to submit a 500-word abstract by April 27, 2023 to ailc.lectures@gmail.com. Acceptance notifications will be sent by May 8.
Participation is free of charge but subject to registration: https://www.ai-lc.it/en/lcl-registration-procedure/
