Title: NLP: What you mean, not what you say
Summary: A deep dive into the real world NLP pipeline of Aiden: our AI powered coworker with an entirely conversational interface. We will cover how we decode natural language, use the conversation context, ask for missing or ambiguous information, and translate abstract concepts into concrete data points.

Title: NLP for the social sciences: Opportunities and ChallengesSummary: Massive digital datasets, such as social media data, provide the opportunity to study language use and behaviour in a variety of social situations on a very large scale. However, to fully leverage their potential for research in the social sciences, new computational approaches are needed. First, I discuss case studies featuring Twitter and Urban Dictionary. I then conclude with my perspective on a few big challenges in this emerging area.Bio: Dong Nguyen is a research fellow at the Turing Institute and affiliated with Edinburgh University. Previously, she was a PhD student at the University of Twente. She is interested in developing text mining methods that can help answer questions from the social sciences and the humanities.
