SwissText 2019

1st Business NLP Workshop

18th June 2019 at SwissText

Call for Participation

Language technologies for business operations have an impact on the life of millions. Applying state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies to industrial applications often involve challenges that rarely receive the attention they deserve at language technology events. The first workshop for Business NLP is a venue for the NLP community to share and learn about recent advances and challenges in the processing of natural language in real-world applications. The workshop aims at bringing practitioners together from different domains to share the challenges they have faced and to learn from common experiences.
