For the purpose of his presentation, Lukasz talked specifically about text-to-text tasks, namely parsing, translation, language modeling, and etc. NLP denotes a very broad term, encompassing speech, text, and the interaction between the two.

NLP or Natural Language Processing has changed tremendously in the recent years thanks to the developments of deep learning. Lukasz Kaiser, Senior Research Scientist at Google Brain, gave a presentation on the developments in Natural Language Processing techniques and how well Google Translate work using NLP. The speakers shared cutting-edge developments on Artificial Intelligence to over 1500 attendees. This year’s conference speakers include: Jeff Dean-Head of Google Brain, Li Deng-Chief AI Scientist at Microsoft, Adam Coates-Director of Baidu’s AI Lab, and Alex Smola-Director of Machine Learning at Amazon. On January 11th 2017, more than 20 world-class AI experts from both industry and academia came together in Santa Clara to participate in this year’s AI Frontiers Conference.
