MIRAI 2nd INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON

Artificial Intelligence for Text Analysis and Language Understanding

February 11th-12th, 2021

Registration Deadline: February 10th, 2021

About the Workshop

This workshop focuses on artificial intelligence methods and techniques for text analysis and language understanding using Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP combines elements of linguistics and programming to enable and improve communication between people and machines by teaching computers to “read,” “listen,” then “understand” human language mainly through text.

NLP is essential to develop highly demanding applications such as chatbots found on websites and Facebook pages, recommendation systems such as the ones used in Amazon and Netflix, search engines such as Google, spam filters on email servers, and even auto-complete and auto-correct functions on smartphone devices. This workshop will provide the knowledge of how to process and analyze text data in order to develop your own projects using Natural Language Processing.
