On 12 January 2021, the GdR TAL is organising a day dedicated to the recent advances in language technologies for applications at the heart of our society. Speakers will explain how artificial intelligence is used, in particular new approaches exploiting deep neural networks, to help different actors in society: trainers, journalists, scientists, doctors, but also the general public. Registration for the day is closed but the day will be broadcast live. https://webcast.in2p3.fr/live/gdr-tal On the agenda:
