WiNLP 2019 workshop

The third WiNLP Workshop will be held in conjunction with ACL 2019 in Florence, Italy.

In an effort to make the workshop more welcoming to members of any underrepresented group, the WiNLP acronym stands for Widening NLP.

The 2019 iteration of the workshop will, in particular, seek to highlight diversity in scientific background, discipline, training, obtained degrees and seniority.

The full-day event includes invited talks, panel discussion, and poster sessions. The workshop provides an excellent opportunity for junior members in the community to showcase their work and connect with senior mentors for feedback and career advice.

It also offers recruitment opportunities with leading industrial labs. Most importantly, the workshop will provide an inclusive and accepting space, and work to lower structural barriers that make it difficult for URGs to join and collaborate with their NLP colleagues.

Invited speakers include Emily M. Bender,  Mona Diab, and Alvin Grissom II

WiNLP 19 will include a career-panel discussion featuring Layla El Asri, Francisco (“Paco”) Guzmán, and Thamar Solorio.
