About the colloquium

The topic of this colloquium is Karpinska's work in natural language processing and human-centred computational analysis. “I am interested in how well natural language processing (NLP) systems handle long-form content, both as input and output. My work includes areas like machine translation of creative texts, story generation, summarizing long texts, verifying claims about book-length content, and multilingual long-form question answering.”
