Denis Paperno from Utrecht University is visiting Helsinki-NLP and the FoTran project in December 2022. He will give a talk in our language technology research seminars on Thursday, December 22 with the title “To the limits of Distributional Semantics and Beyond”.

Denis focuses in his research on the fundamental questions of meaning representations of natural language both, from a formal and a computational perspective. His work on neural and distributional approaches to semantics together with the question about effective ways to learn meaning representations from data are highly relevant for our project and we are looking forward to fruitful discussions during his visit.
