We invite you to participate in an exciting week of lectures and practical work, which will make you discover the fascinating worlds of computational linguistics and natural language processing, two closely related fields of science in which computer scientists and linguists combine their skills and creativity to copy on the computer the linguistic abilities of human beings. The School will be the 14th in a series initiated in 1993 and run since then every two years. The didactic paradigm of this year edition will be “learning by doing”, as IT and humanity students will be put together in mixed teams to solve a challenging problem. Guided by our mentors, participants will decipher models and techniques for text annotation and processing, will develop a collection of annotated texts and will learn how to train the machine to develop abilities to recognise topics and opinions in texts.

To whom is the school addressed?

The School is dedicated mainly to university students at the bachelor, master and PhD levels, but gifted college students, interested In learning and trying their passionate minds and hands at the practice of developing annotated corpora and training AI systems, are also welcome. To encourage the participation of all categories of students, from college to PhD, the School will be free of charge. Our tutors have generously offered their help without being rewarded and we will try to cover any spendings from (presumable many...) sponsorships (which will be announced at later dates). However, this policy will perhaps trigger no coffee-and-tea flavoured breaks, but we strongly encourage participants to bring their homemade biscuits and snacks during the school to offer to their teammates (and others…).

Registration period is over!
In the first day of the School, May 6, the mixed teams will be formed, each grouping 4-5 people. Your preferences for teammates will be taken into consideration, but bear in mind that we want to have both IT and humanity students in all teams. As such, first, teams grouping 2-3 persons of similar backgrounds will be formed, which will be, afterwards, combined in mixed teams.
