SALTS, the Laboratory for the Study of Applied Language Technology and Society at the School of Communication and Information, Rutgers University, brings together researchers interested in developing and/or using next-generation natural language processing technology that supports communication across cultural and social boundaries in areas such as digital libraries, education, public health, humanities, linguistics and communication.

SALTS is organizing a reading group in the area of natural language processing (NLP). The goal is to read, analyze and critique selected articles in specific areas of NLP, attend NLP-related talks and in general be part of building an NLP research hub at Rutgers. All faculty, researchers and PhD students interested in NLP and its applications are invited. If you are interested, please feel free to join us!

Please check the NLP Reading Group page for Spring 2012 schedule, and our past activities. Meetings will take place in the Faculty Lounge (Room 323), School of Communication and Information (4 Huntington St, New Brunswick, NJ, 08901), on every other Monday starting Mon Jan 23.
