The computational linguistics seminars usually take place on Fridays at
13.15 pm in room 9-3042, while group meetings and reading groups take
place at 11.00.
Exceptions are made when the department board has its meetings. These Fridays, there is only a seminar or a group meeting at 13.15 pm.
As of October, 2021, our seminars will be held in a hybrid format: in-person in room 9-3042 (Engelska Parken) and
zoom.
You can find suggestions for reading group articles on the
