ACM SIGAI (Artificial Intelligence) Bay Area Chapter inaugural meeting

Title: Understanding Natural Language Understanding

Date: Wed, July 16 at 7pm

Abstract:  Human language is the ultimate user interface.  As
computers migrate from desktop to pocket, car, home, and face, we
increasingly rely on them to understand the meaning of our words.  In
this talk, I will survey the rapidly-evolving field of natural
language understanding (NLU), including sentiment analysis, relation
extraction, semantic parsing, and vector-space models of meaning.
I'll highlight the impact of massive datasets and deep neural
networks, and I'll report on recent advances in both academia and
industry.

Speaker bio: Bill MacCartney is a Senior Research Scientist at Google,
where he works on various problems in natural language understanding.
Bill is also a Consulting Assistant Professor of Computer Science at
Stanford University, where he has taught CS224U (Natural Language
Understanding) since 2010.  During his Ph.D., Bill authored a
significant part of the Stanford NLP toolkit, including the
Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) system.  Bill also serves as an
advisor to a number of startups. Bill's profile on the web:
