NLP & Speech

Professor Kathy McKeown talks with DeepLearning.AI's Andrew Ng about how she started in artificial intelligence (AI), her research projects, how her understanding of AI has changed through the decades, and AI career advice for learners of NLP.

CS researchers presented their work at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2024).

Papers from CS researchers were accepted to the Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) 2021. The Best Short Paper Award was also awarded to a paper from the Natural Language Processing Group.
About
The Speech and Natural Language Processing groups do fundamental work in language understanding and generation with applications to a wide variety of topics, including summarization, argumentation, persuasion, sentiment, detecting deceptive, emotional and charismatic speech, text-to-speech synthesis, analysis of social media to detect mental illness, abusive language, and radicalization.
The groups collaborate closely on many research projects with each other, with language faculty in other universities, and with Columbia faculty in other disciplines. They also mentor a very large number of master’s and undergraduate research project students who participate in their research each semester. They have regular talks for faculty, students, and the larger New York area community.
