The tenth IIIT-H Advanced Summer School on NLP (IASNLP-2020) will be held at IIIT Hyderabad from 29th June to 11th July, 2018. IASNLP 2020 will be a two week school on Natural Language Processing, specifically focused on Speech to Speech Machine translation. The summer school will be project-oriented, while also featuring a set of lectures which will be delivered by eminent Professors and researchers in the field. Lectures are intended to equip the participants with the necessary background to carry out the project, and the participants will choose a project from a list in advance. During the summer school, the participants will work, under the supervision of experts in the respective area, to come up with substantial advancement in their chosen project. Participants will get to present their projects at the end of the school.
The Summer School revolves around a novel project. Usually, each day lectures occupy half of the day, where participants are introduced to the necessary concepts and/or tools necessary for the project. Post that, participants are supposed to work on the project while interacting with mentors.
There will be a 3-day preschool session from 26th June to 28th June 2020, which will introduce necessary tools for people from different backgrounds and disciplines.
IASNLP-2020 will be helpful for students and young faculty who are, or want to, get familiar with Natural Language Processing and would like to explore further topics in the area to work on advanced projects in NLP which they can continue even after the summer school. For any queries regarding IASNLP 2020 kindly drop a mail at iasnlp@iiit.ac.in and give us five working days to respond.
The school will involve lectures that will be delivered by renowned researchers and faculty.
In this year's edition of IASNLP, the projects will be based around the theme of Speech to Speech Machine Translation.
