Human Language Technology Distinguished Lecture Series 2013/2014
This CSAIL seminar series, organized in cooperation with the Siri team at Apple, invites leading researchers in HLT to give lectures that introduce the fundamentals of spoken language systems, assess the current state of the art, outline challenges, and speculate on how they can be met.
Lectures occur 2-3 times per semester and should be accessible to undergraduates with some technical background.
