Dear colleagues: We invite participants to a three-day winter school on large-scale neural NLP research – with special emphasis on language modeling for non-English languages – using massive Web data. The school will provide lectures and space for discussion by, among others, Afra Alishahi (Tilburg University), Desmond Elliot (University of Copenhagen), Aurélie Névéol (LISN, CNRS), and a few more international experts.
The winter school is organized as a collaboration between the Horizon Europe project High-Performance Language Technologies (HPLT) and the Nordic Language Processing Laboratory (NLPL). The event will be held ‘in real life’ on February 4–6, 2024, in Norway. For additional information, please see: http://wiki.nlpl.eu/Community/training There is no participant fee for the winter school, and HPLT will provide free bus transfer between the Oslo airport and the conference hotel (about two hours north of Oslo, with skiing facilities just outside the door). Participants will need to cover their own travel to Oslo and accommodation at the hotel (NOK 3745 for two nights in a single room, including all meals and conference facilities). We kindly invite expressions of interest in participation in the winter school. Please register through the on-line form linked up from the above overview page. We will process requests for participation on a first-come, first-served basis, with an eye toward regional balance. Participation will be confirmed in three batches, one on December 8, another one on December 15, and finally after the closing date for registration, which is Thursday, December 22, 2023. Welcome to Skeikampen in February 2024!
