Sloan Fellow\, CIFAR Canada AI Chair with the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii)\, and was aw arded the 2018 SIAM/MOS Lagrange Prize in Continuous Optimization with Nic olas Le Roux and Francis Bach.\n\nVered Shwartz is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia\, and a CIFAR A I Chair at the Vector Institute. Previously\, she was a postdoctoral resea rcher at the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) and the University of Washington . Vered’s research focuses on natural language processing\, with the fun damental goal of building models capable of human-level understanding of n atural language. Her research involves different problems in computational semantics and pragmatics\, and commonsense reasoning. In particular\, she is working on learning to uncover implicit meaning (“reading between th e lines”)\, which is abundant in human speech\, and on developing machin es with advanced reasoning skills.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT DETAILS\n\n Date: T uesday\, February 21\, 2023\n Time: 6:00 - 7:30 pm Pacific Daylight Time\ n Format: Panel discussion with Q&\;A\n\nREGISTRATION\n\n IABC/BC Mem bers: Free\n IABC Members (outside of BC): $10\n Non-Members: $20\n Stu dent Non-Members: $10\n\nIf paying for a ticket is a barrier for you to at tend\, please contact events@iabc.bc.ca.\n\nAll refund requests must be ma de 48 hours prior to the event date.\n\nA Zoom link to access the professi onal development session will be emailed to you on Monday\, February 20th.
