PARTNERS OF THE EVENT

EUROLAN - 2025

EUROLAN-2025 will focus on recent research in natural language processing, machine learning applied to language, artificial intelligence (AI) and reasoning systems, computational linguistics and implications of AI in society, education and science, in order to familiarise participants with the theory and practise underlying Generative Artificial Intelligence Models (GAIM).

In the tradition of previous EUROLAN schools, each day will consist of tutorials/lectures in the morning, followed by hands-on exercises in the afternoon. This organisation enables participants to immediately apply the concepts covered in the lectures to practical problems as well as to create “toy” applications that could serve as a basis for future work. In addition, brainstorming sessions and round tables will allow students to interact with professors and gain additional experience.

The School is open to students at the bachelor, masters, and PhD levels, but exceptional undergraduates interested in learning about the interaction between NLP, complex networks, and agentic AI.
