NLP4Health Reading Group

Our reading group is an opportunity for members of the lab to come together and discuss research papers relevant to our projects. The major goals of our reading group meetings are:

  • To stay abreast of the recent trends and developments in NLP.
  • To discuss fundamental concepts and the mathematical foundations of AI.
  • To broaden our perspective by getting to know each other’s research interest.
  • To share ideas and adapt discussed concepts to our own work/research.
  • To develop presentation and communication skills.

Upcoming events in the Reading group series are listed in the agenda below.
