Hello

Can this memorial event / workshop be broadcasted?
Is the general public welcome, i.e. those who are not considered "members of 
the ACL community"?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Best regards
Ada

Friday, November 8 - Saturday, November 9

Brown Computer Science Department, Providence, RI
https://cs.brown.edu/people/in-memorium/eugene_charniak/


Brown University invites you to attend an academic memorial event to 
commemorate the research and legacy of Eugene Charniak. Eugene, an ACL Lifetime 
Achievement Award winner and ACL fellow, passed away in June 2023. His 
colleagues and students have organized a two-day workshop of invited 
presentations of cutting-edge research with an emphasis on the themes which 
defined Eugene's career: the legacy of classic statistical NLP/ML, the 
sometimes-surprising effectiveness of simple baselines, clever tricks for 
dealing with data sparsity such as self-training or distant supervision, and 
unsupervised learning.



A full program will be posted later this summer. Mark Johnson will give a 
keynote presentation, along with research talks by Regina Barzilay, Michael 
Collins, Jason Eisner, Lillian Lee, Ani Nenkova, Ellie Pavlick, Brian Roark, 
Chris Tanner and Byron Wallace. There will also be opportunities to remember 
Eugene in a social setting, and a panel discussion of the workshop's research 
themes.



The event will take place at the Brown Computer Science Department in 
Providence, RI; attendees are responsible for finding their own accommodations. 
Instructions for travel to Providence are available here: 
https://cs.brown.edu/about/directions/. The program will begin at 9am on Friday 
the 8th, and conclude at 1:30pm on Saturday the 9th. All members of the ACL 
community are welcome, whether you knew Eugene well or not. Please mark your 
calendars now!
