Computation and language group - schedule

The computation and language group has now scheduled the rest of its meetings for this semester. On October 29th, Luiz Amaral of Languages, Literature and Cultures will present his work on Natural Language Processing in computer assisted second language learning. On November 19th, Rajesh Bhatt will present on his work on creating a tree-bank for Hindi. Both meetings will take place at 6 p.m. in the Partee room (the group has decided to retreat to the cozy confines of South College after finding the Spoke less than perfectly congenial).
