Virtual Workshop on "Fundamentals of Machine Learning for Harmful Language Processing" on July 24 - August 3, 2023

[Ritesh]

Dear all

Council for Strategic and Defense Research and UnReaL-TecE LLP are co-organising a Virtual Workshop on "Fundamentals of Machine Learning for Harmful Language Processing" on July 24 - August 3, 2023. It is mainly aimed towards the students and researchers in Linguistics or other disciplines of humanities and social sciences working in the area. We will cover the absolute basics of machine learning and how it is employed for the specific case of automatically identifying aggressive, offensive and harmful text (with special reference to Indian languages). Although our focus will be on dealing with harmful texts and automatically classifying those, the techniques to be discussed in the workshop will be applicable more generally to any kind of classification task in any language.

The participants are expected to have a good knowledge of programming in Python, some basic idea of Linear Algebra (they should at least understand matrices, vectors, matrix multiplication, etc) and Calculus (they should have heard of differentiation, integration, etc).

If you are interested and have the requisite skills then please contact us directly. The contact details are on the attached poster. More details about the workshop content, etc will be available on our project website - https://lnkd.in/dxD_GA9D
