Location: CSE 203
                 

Machine Reading

UW is one of the leaders in Machine Reading, with most of the AI faculty supervising work in the area and many notable systems, some 'reading' at Web-scale. It's also an extremely hot topic nationally. For the most part, we will read and discuss the latest papers in the area (eg submissions to ACL-10 and recent acceptances).

Mailing List

We will not use the cse590a mailing list. Instead, announcements about the seminar will go to uw-ai. If you do not already subscribe to uw-ai, then join by sending mail to uw-ai-request@cs.washington.edu, with the line "subscribe listname" in the body of the message. You are welcome to discuss the presentations on the mailing list.
