Graduate Seminar: Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing

This graduate seminar features more or less weekly talks of various kinds: (1) Oral defenses of bachelor's theses and master's theses supervised by the NLP Group. (2) Invited talks by AI and NLP researchers from Germany and beyond, and (3) rehearsal talks for presentations of the NLP Group, and (4) other research-related talks by members of the NLP Group.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of AI, dealing with computational methods for understanding and generating speech and human-readable text. The NLP Group in the Institute of AI at Leibniz University Hannover conducts fundamental reseach across the whole spectrum of NLP, often in interdisciplinary contexts.
