LTI faculty and students are featured heavily at the 2018 conference of the North American chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (NAACL HLT 2018). The conference includes 15 papers with at least one LTI author, with 23 members of the LTI community represented in total. Additionally, two LTI faculty members – assistant professors Graham Neubig and Yulia Tsvetkov – will be leading tutorials at the conference.
NAACL HLT, now in its 16th year, is one of the world’s premier conferences in the fields of computation linguistics and natural language processing. The conference takes place June 1-6 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Papers and presentations including LTI researchers are as follows, with the names of LTI authors in bold text:
