Athens NLP 2024 Summer School

Following on from the success of the 1st AthNLP in 2019, AthNLP 2024 will take place 19 - 25 September 2024 at the campus of NCSR Demokritos in Athens and is organised jointly by NCSR Demokritos, the Athens University of Economics and Business, RC ATHENA, and Heriot-Watt University. AthNLP cooperates closely with the organisers of LxMLS, taking place in Lisbon (11-17 July).

The school will cover a range of NLP topics focusing on machine learning (ML) methods. There will be morning lectures focusing on theoretical aspects, afternoon lab sessions focusing on implementation and experimentation, and evening talks on research topics and perspectives, as well as demos and posters from the participants and industry research labs. The lectures and the evening talks will be given by internationally recognized researchers from academic and industrial research labs. The topics to be covered include: classification, sequence prediction, linear models, neural networks, encoder-decoder architectures, machine translation, large language models, and multimodality.
