Graduate Seminar: Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing

This graduate seminar features talks of various kinds more or less weekly: 

1. Invited talks by national and international AI and NLP researchers
2. Oral defenses of bachelor's theses and master's theses supervised by the NLP Group
3. Progress talks of bachelor's theses and master's theses supervised by the NLP Group
4. Rehearsal talks for presentations of the NLP Group
5. Other research talks by members of the NLP Group

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of AI, dealing with computational methods for understanding and generating speech and human-readable text. The NLP Group in the Institute of AI at Leibniz University Hannover conducts fundamental reseach across the whole spectrum of NLP, often in interdisciplinary contexts.
