SUMMARY:Computational Linguistics in the Industrial Setting
DESCRIPTION:What: Computational Linguistics in the Industrial Setting\nWhen: June 22\, 2021 at 12pm EDT (GMT -4)\nWhere: Zoom \nWe are now happy to announce the third talk in our series\, “Computational Linguistics in the Industrial Setting\,” which will be delivered by Fermín Moscoso del Prado on Tuesday\, June 22 at 12pm (EST\, GMT -4). \nStudents coming out of graduate programmes in Cognitive Psychology or Linguistics often have very valuable skills to work in industry in the field of data science. There are now abundant and well-paid jobs in this sector across the world. Among the skills that are crucial for success in this field\, it is important to have a good knowledge of statistical analyses and machine learning techniques plus some computer programming skills\, typically with Python or R. This talk will include discussion of what additional skills and areas of knowledge can help students wishing to go into the data science industry\, including a brief overview of types of jobs\, career structure\, and nomenclature. \nFermín Moscoso del Prado is the Lead Scientist at Lingvist Technologies OÜ\, in charge of developing algorithms for improving human vocabulary learning\, automatic construction of language course materials\, and general data analysis. He holds an M.Eng. in Computer Science specializing in Artificial Intelligence\, a Ph.D. in Linguistics (with focus on computational psycholinguistics)\, and had post-doctoral training in Cognitive Neuroscience. \nThe meeting will be held using Zoom. Please note that the meeting is password protected and will require a simple pre-registration. If you know somebody who may wish to join\, they may contact us or use the Words in the World website in order to be added to the mailing list at https://wordsintheworld.ca/home/open-office-hours/sign-up-for-open-office-hours/.
