THE SEMINAR
THEORY OF DUALITY
DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 10th of January 2019, at 10:15 a.m.

Szymon  Łeski (Samsung Corp.) 

will give a talk on

" Lenguage modeling (with or without neural networks)"

Abstract
Natural Language Processing, that is, processing large amounts of natural lenguage data using computers, is both challenging and relevant for practical applications. The topic of the seminar is lenguage modeling. In this task the goal is "fill in the blank" in a sentence - in other words, to predict the probability distribution of words in a given context. Lenguage modeling is important not only because immediate applications (e.g. in optical character recognition or in predctive keyboards), but also because such models are good starting points for other lenguage processing tasks. We will cover both statistical (count-based) and neural lenguage models. Specifically, I will focus on how discrete objects (words and sentences) can be represented to facilitate natural lenguage processing tasks. I will also overview the challenges of developing commercial lenguage models in the industry setting.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
