Natural Language Processing – an inaugural lecture by Mark Fi\u0161el
\n<\/strong>Tartu University Assembly Hall
\n<\/strong>22 January 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, 22 January, Mark Fi\u0161el, Professor of Natural Language Processing at the University of Tartu\u2019s Institute of Computer Science, delivered a lecture in the university assembly hall on natural language processing solutions that do not require annotated examples or linguistic knowledge encoding. Fi\u0161el, who compares his field of work to the search for a free lunch, called his English-language lecture just\u00a0that: \u2018Free Lunch\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Mare Koit, a language technology specialist at the University of Tartu, natural language processing has made significant progress thanks to the adoption of machine learning and statistical methods and the availability of large language corpora. \u201cMark became active in the field as a student and has since produced significant results in the field of machine translation in particular,\u201d she said. \u201cUnder his leadership, the Chair of Natural Language Processing is conducting a number of research projects and working with business partners. For instance, Estonian was added to the Common Voice project by Mozilla, which is used to collect freely usable speech datasets. Mark\u2019s colleagues and students value his ambitious ideas, how hard-working he is and how much energy and enthusiasm he has.\u201d<\/p>\n
