IIIT-Hyderabad Advanced School on Natural Language Processing
May 26th - June 9th, Hyderabad, India, Summer 2008

 

About the school

In continuation of the initiative taken by holding the First Advanced School on NLP at IIIT-Hyderabad in the winter of 2007, we are pleased to announce the 2nd Advanced School on NLP (IASNLP-2008) to be held in summer 2008. It will be a two week workshop on Natural Language Processing with lectures by internationally renowned researchers in the area. However, the major highlight of this summer school is that it is project oriented. The participants will choose one of the projects from a list of projects that are suggested, and they will be guided during the course of the summer school to come up with substantial work. The project findings would be presented at an open symposium on the final day of the workshop.
