NLP - SIG Panel November 30 th, 14.30-16.00, Sala Nobile Natural Language Processing research plays a relevant role in current AI, as target of different scientific and industrial interests. Natural Language is at the cross-road of Learning, Knowledge Representation and Cognitive Modeling. Several recent AI achievements (such as the Deep Mind system by the Google team winning the AlphaGo challenge) have repeatedly shown their beneficial impact on complex inference tasks, with huge application perspectives in linguistic modelling, processing and inferences. However, Natural Language Understanding is still a rich research topic, whose cross-fertilization spans a number of independent areas such as Cognitive Robotics, Automated Planning as well as Human- Computer Interaction. For AI, Natural Languages are either the research focus of paradigms and applications but, at the same time, they act as cornerstones of automation, autonomy and learnability for most intelligent phenomena ranging from Vision, to Planning and Social Behaviors. A reflection about such diverse and promising interactions is an important target for current AI studies, fully in the core mission of AI*IA. The panel consists in a joint effort between AI*IA and the Italian Association on Computational Linguistics (AILC), promoted by the Special Interest Group on NLP of AI*IA.
Genova Tourism Information Genova is the capital of Liguria and the sixth largest city in Italy. The urban area called Genova Metropolitan City has an official population of 862,885. Over 1.5 million people live in the Genova Metropolitan Area. Genova is one of Europe s largest cities on the Mediterranean Sea and the largest seaport in Italy. Genova has been nicknamed la Superba (the Proud one) due to its glorious past and impressive landmarks. The city s rich cultural history in notably its art, music and cuisine allowed it to become the 2004 European Capital of Culture. It is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus and Niccolò Paganini. Genova has a fascinating historic center said to be the largest medieval quarter in Europe, with a wealth of churches, palaces, and museums. The Renaissance and Baroque Rolli Palaces are about 80 palaces built in the 16 th and early 17 th centuries during the so-called Siglo de oro de los Genoveses, when Genova was one of the economical world power. In 2006, Genova s Rolli Palaces were added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. De Ferrari Square One of the Rolli palaces The main features of central Genova include Piazza De Ferrari, around which are sited the Opera and the Palace of the Doges. There is also a house where Christopher Columbus is said to have been born. Other landmarks of the city include the Porto Antico, enriched by Genoese architect Renzo Piano with a large sphere made of metal and glass (Biosphere), installed in the port s waters, and the famous cemetery of Staglieno, renowned for its monuments and statues, in which the mortal remains of several known personalities rest, among them Giuseppe Mazzini, Fabrizio De André and Oscar Wilde s wife. The Aquarium of Genova is the largest aquarium in Italy and the second largest in Europe. Built for Genova Expo 92, it is an educational, scientific and cultural centre. Its mission is to educate and raise public awareness as regards conservation, management and responsible use of aquatic environments. It welcomes over 1.2 million visitors a year. Enjoy Genova!
