Pranav Anand and LRC visitor Dan Hardt traveled to Austin last week to deliver a paper on automatically detecting the antecedents of sluices at Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) 2016. The conference was replete with UCSC alums: Chis Potts (PhD, 2003) delivered a keynote address on his ongoing work on pragmatic reasoning at scale and Aaron White (BA, 2009) and Kyle Rawlins (PhD, 2008) presented work from their group at JHU on building a large-scale dataset of protorole judgments in a dependency-bank.
