Natural Language Processing (NLP) holds the key in leveragin g this type of data in order to answer and respond to important question s such as\, “What is the perception of my company in the Twittersphere?” \, “Are these reviews largely positive or negative?”\, “What is the tran slation of this in Spanish?”\, “This document has the answer to my quest ion somewhere… but where?”\, “Are these products similar?” \;\n \; \nParticularly over the last five years\, revolutionary advances in NLP- related Deep Learning algorithms combined with dramatically increased co mpute resources have created unprecedented opportunities to not only ans wer natural language questions with greater accuracy and speed\, but oft en also while requiring significantly less training data. \;\n \;\ nIn this session\, we will provide an overview of these advances and how you can make use of them. A particular focus will be transfer learning where large\, pretrained models\, such as Google’s BERT model\, can be l everaged for a broad set of NLP use cases delivering excellent results\, and enabling you to answer questions that were not possible to answer j ust a few years ago. \;\n \;\nSo this is a great time to learn abo ut recent NLP developments and go through explicit examples. \;\n \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\n \;\nJoachim started his career in theoretical physics before leaving academia and joining the IT indust ry. For over a decade\, he held various leadership positions in profess ional services\, business development and sales at Sun Microsystems\, VM ware\, and Hitachi Data Systems. In 2015\, Joachim returned to his quant itative roots and obtained a Master of Information and Data Science from UC Berkeley. Most recently\, Joachim managed a Data Science research te am at Edison Software. He currently lectures at UC Berkeley on Natural L anguage Processing with Deep learning and is working on various NLP proj ects. \;\n \;\nWhen \;\n \;\nSept 19th\, 2019 (Chapter meeti ngs held on third Thursday of the month) \;\n \;\nSchedule \;\n \;\n8:30 – 9:00 am – Sign In \;\n9:00 – 10:15 am – Presentation&# 13\;\n10:15 – 10:30 am – Break\, Chapter Announcements \;\n10:30 – 11 :30 am – Presentation continued \;\n \;\nStandard Insurance Tower Atrium (900 SW 5th\, please note Standard Ins. has multiple downtown loc ations) \;\n \;\nCost \;\n \;\nFree for members (including A LL employees of corporate members) \;\n$15 for non-members \;\n$5 for students with valid student ID \;\n \;\nStandard Insurance Cen ter\, 900 SW 5th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97204\, USA \;\n\n\nTags: NLP\, theory\, datascience\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504 76068 URL:https://damapdx.org/2019/08/23/september-2019-recent-advances-in-natu ral-language-processing-some-theory-applications/ SUMMARY:@DAMAPDX Sept.

Join us for an exciting\, all-day virtual event wi th NASA scientists. Attendees will work with actual NASA data and have a n opportunity to collaborate on matters of data analysis directly with o ur presenters. \;\n \;\nOpening Remarks: 8:30 AM: DAMA PDX Board&# 13\;\n \;\nMorning Session: 9AM – 11:30 AM: Eric Lyness and Victoria Da-Poian\, NASA \;\n \;\nEric Lyness is the NASA software and oper ations lead at Goddard Space Flight Center for the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer on the ExoMars 2020 rover and Victoria Da-Poian is an Aerospac e Engineer. They will present their talk\, Machine Learning to Find Life on Mars and Beyond. \;\n \;\nIn 2021 the European ExoMars rover w ill land on Mars with the Mars Organic Molecular Analyzer (MOMA) laborat ory to analyze soil samples searching for past or present life. NASA is developing machine learning algorithms to help the scientists more quick ly analyze the data when it arrives from Mars. In this talk\, we will pr esent the current work using MOMA mass spectrometer data acquired during ground testing. Using this data we are aiding the scientists by matchin g new spectra with the most similar spectra from past experiments. We wi ll present the nuances of mass spectra\, our limitations with respect to data\, and our approach to the problem. We hope to elicit feedback from the attendees. \;\n \;\nMore details at https://phys.org/news/202 0-06-nasa-life-mars.html. \;\n \;\n30 minute Break \;\n \;\n Lunch Session: 12:00 – 1:00 PM: Snowflake Presentation\, Drew Swanson an d Brian Whittington \;\n \;\n30 minute Break \;\n \;\nAftern oon Session: 1:30 PM – 3:30PM: Details soon! \;\n \;\n15 minute Br eak \;\n \;\nClosing Remarks and Next Steps: 3:45 – 4:00 PM: DAMA PDX Board \;\n \;\nTimes above may be revised in the days before o ur event. \;\n \;\nEvent will be presented via a Zoom bridge.
