NW-NLP 2018: Semantic Matching Against a Corpus: New Applications and Methods, Synthetic and Natural Noise Both Break Neural Machine Translation, and Syntactic Scaffolds for Semantic Structures

  • Lucy Lin, Yonatan Bisk, Swabha Swayamdipta | Carnegie Mellon University

The fifth Pacific Northwest Regional Natural Language Processing Workshop will be held on Friday April 27, 2018, in Redmond, WA.

We accepted abstracts and papers on all aspects of natural language text and speech processing, computational linguistics, and human language technologies. As with past four workshops, the goal of this one-day NW-NLP event is to provide a less-formal setting in the Pacific Northwest to present research ideas, make new acquaintances, and learn about the breadth of exciting work currently being pursued in North-West area.
