Brown University invites you to attend an academic memorial event to commemorate the research and legacy of Eugene Charniak. Eugene, an ACL Lifetime Achievement Award winner and ACL fellow, passed away in June 2023. His colleagues and students have organized a two-day workshop of invited presentations of cutting-edge research with an emphasis on the themes which defined Eugene's career: the legacy of classic statistical NLP/ML, the sometimes-surprising effectiveness of simple baselines, clever tricks for dealing with data sparsity such as self-training or distant supervision, unsupervised learning, and frame-based representations of knowledge for planning and natural language understanding.
