Title: Natural Language Processing and its Applications in Hebraica Cataloging Presenter: Dr. Avi Shmidman, Bar-Ilan University, Israel Date and Time: October 31, 1:30pm-2:30pm EDT, via Zoom and in LM541 Conference Room Synopsis: One of the most exciting advances of the last few years in the world of Natural Language Processing was the release of the BERT algorithm ("Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers"). To what extent does this algorithm provide the means to understand nuances of Hebrew text, and how can this algorithm help us with the specific challenges of Hebrew text processing? These are the questions that Dr. Shmidman will explore in this lecture. Dr. Shmidman will demonstrate how Hebrew-specific BERT models provide the ability to disambiguate Hebrew words, to identify mistakes in large Hebrew textual corpora, to expand Hebrew abbreviations, to improve Hebrew optical character Asher Lewis Hebraica and Judaica Cataloging Librarian Asian and Middle Eastern Division, Israel and Judaica Section Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate Onsite Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays The Library of Congress 101 Independence Ave, SE, LM-537 Washington, DC 20540-4222 Email: able...@loc.gov<mailto:able...@loc.gov> Phone: 202-707-3435 [https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://staff.loc.gov/sites/librarylink/files/2018/08/Email-LOC-logo.jpg__;!!KGKeukY!0pDBoWtVjjO9UZNAFBcJPv1fRI1gjRhd8P4qUZlGmstDqGP2iGLkjwvg3A3E2G8ho_XIC1ITaOA2YJGdCrWCCdOvLQ$ ]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.loc.gov/__;!!KGKeukY!2a-9D6MMrUIkfFui0zqiG55zQ6o6rISAyHaQdcE2H5_soPg7yBG-ZpxKTmXJTA1gSsJfqubx30OvYg_Ne533aQ$> THIS EMAIL IS NOT CLASSIFIED Expressing my views.
