The NLP seminar is a weekly meeting for people actively doing research in NLP (students simply looking to learn more about NLP should not enroll, but should take one of our lecture courses instead). One participant leads discussion each week, either of a recently published paper or of their own work in progress. Attendance at all sessions is mandatory.
This wiki page, https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/NLP/Cornell+NLP+Seminar%2C+Fall+2015, holds the schedule for the NLP seminar for the Fall 2015 semester.
Location/Time: Fall 2015: Fridays 1:30-2:30, Gates 405 (Ithaca) / Tech 1202.9 - Hackers (NY) (except for: Tech 1202.08 for Nov 13)
Announcements: To send an announcement, mail cs-nlp-seminar-l@carnell.edu, adding [nlpsem] somewhere in the subject line, and changing the "a"s in the email address to "o"s, of course.
Discussion group: We will use a private group on the Cornell NLP Slack for discussions. Enrolled students, please send Yoav (yoav@cs) your Slack ID to join the private group. Each semester will have its own group. If you are not on Cornell NLP's Slack, send Yoav your email address to request an invitation email.
How to edit the table below: Only members of the confluence group confluence-llee-students can view or edit (never mind the name). If you haven't already, click the "log in" link, probably near the top right of this page, and log in with your cornell netID and password.Then, click on Edit (should be near the top; it may be a sub-item of the item "Page Operations"). You should be able to type right in the table entries below (it's recommended to be using "Rich Text" editing to do this, although it is possible that rich-text editing is not available on Safari). Don't forget to click "Save" after you're done.
