ServiceNow Research spotlight: Papers accepted at ACL 2022

The 60th annual meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, ACL 2022, will take place in Dublin, Ireland, from May 22-27, 2022. ACL is the premier international scientific and professional society for people working on computational problems involving human language, a field often referred to as either computational linguistics or natural language processing (NLP).

At ServiceNow Research, the Human Machine Interaction Through Language team (HMITL) works on advancing AI technology to solve language-related questions. We are excited to announce that, in collaboration with other experts in the field, many HMITL researchers will present their work during the ACL 2022 conference.

In addition to the main conference that will be held from May 23-25, ACL will host an exciting line-up of tutorials (May 22) as well as workshops and co-located events (May 26-27).
