Speech and Natural Language Processing Lunch

The weekly Speech and Natural Language Processing Lunch is a forum for the Speech and NLP community at Illinois to exchange ideas and to socialize.
In Spring '10, the NLP lunch will be held every Thursday from 11am to 12pm in 3405 Siebel Center.

Every week, one of us (grad student, postdoc, or faculty) gives a brief (20 minute) talk about their current research.
If you want to give a talk, please send email to Julia Hockenmaier.

Everybody is welcome to attend (please bring your own food).

We now have our own mailing list! Please subscribe to the list here.
