How do computers understand language? It seems impossible that zeroes and ones could ever add up to words that humans can understand, but machine language has come a long way in the past few years. Let us take you behind the code to explain how machines simulate language comprehension, and why it’s a far more complicated problem than “bonjour = hello”. This talk is aimed at an audience who is not necessarily familiar with computers or language comprehension, but would like a primer to the field, and what it can realistically do. We will explain natural language processing from the perspective of machines that cannot understand words, but capture semantic meaning by processing data.

This session will take place on:

Tuesday, April 16th – 1:00pm – 4:00pm (Atlantic time)

You do need to have a laptop with a Mac, Linux or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc) on which you have administrative privileges, as you will need to pre-load specific software packages.

Participants must register using their institutional / organizational email address (not a personal email, ie. gmail)

Please join us for our next research “Munch and Learn” on April 19 from 1:00-2:00pm in BN4031. Dr. Emmanuel Haven will present his paper “Can I whet your appetite with some quantum flavours?”

Abstract: The social sciences have long interacted with other areas of knowledge ranging from biology (example: ant behavior and human decision making) to physics and mathematics (example: Black-Scholes (financial) option pricing). This talk will attempt to convince you that ideas from quantum mechanics can have a ‘raison d’ˆetre’ in solving some interesting questions in management and economics/finance. We will first define some of those problems and then, in a non-convoluted way, try to show the benefits of using the quantum-like approach.

Bio: Dr. Emmanuel Haven holds the Dr. A. Faseruk Chair in Financial Management. He co-founded the new journal Quantum Economics and Finance published by

SAGE.

Please RSVP by April 18 to mgulliver@mun.ca.

We hope to see you there!
