(Remote Internship) Natural Language Processing Research on a Large-scale Research Platform
Welcome to the Natural Language Processing(NLP) Community! Our community predominantly contributes to the NLP area on 1Cademy, our collaborative research platform. This semester, we will explore different NLP topics by going through selected survey papers selected from A Survey of Surveys project. Our team members will dive into these survey papers and present what they've been learning throughout each week by walking us through the nodes they have designed during our weekly team meetings. After meeting certain requirements, you will be invited to join our small research group to work on concrete research ideas.
