Oxford Computational Linguistics Seminars

Seminars will take place at 12:00 on Fridays in the Department of Computer Science. Seminar are held in Room 051 unless otherwise noted.

Directions to the Lab are here. To find 051, go to the main door of the Wolfson Building on Parks Road, but instead of going in that door, go down some steps to the left of the door.

If you would like to be on the mailing list for these seminars, please email Edward Grefenstette (edward.grefenstette@cs.ox.ac.uk).
