SUMMARY:Lee Giles (Penn State)
DESCRIPTION: How Deep Learning has Transformed Natural Language Processi
	ng orDid a Machine Really Say That?"\n\nFriday\, April 1\, 9:00–10:30 a.
	m. EDT\, via Zoom. \n\nDistinguished Language Science Colloquium\n\nDr. 
	Lee Giles\n\nDavid Reese Professor at the School of Information Sciences
	 and Technology at Penn State\n\nDeep learning (DL) is a rather new mach
	ine learning model strongly based on neural networks. It became popular 
	primarily for performance reasons\, especially when it strongly outperfo
	rmed other machine learning methods\, first in the areas of computer vis
	ion\, then famously in natural language processing (NLP) such as machine
	 translation\, all in this decade. Since then\, DL has continued to perf
	orm well on many large data problems and in related competitions and app
	lications seem to be proliferating. That being said\, there are many iss
	ues with Deep Learning. Here we will discuss its strengths and weaknesse
	s with some in NLP and offer suggested research directions. \n\nFor more
