About the event:
Natural language processing (NLP) driven tools and applications (such as ChatGPT and open source alternatives) have become an inseparable part of people’s lives and work. We need to bring different perspectives on how modern NLP techniques can be developed further to serve people’s needs as well as help research in different domains. The workshop aims to bring researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines together to discuss their shared research interests; highlight work at the intersection of these fields; identify challenges and opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations.
