[PLing] Update: OFAI 2022 Lecture Series

[Tristan Miller]

Dear colleagues,

After a summer break, the 2022 Lecture Series of the Austrian Research 
Institute for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI) resumes this week.  We 
warmly welcome everyone to attend the online talks, free of charge and 
without advance registration. As you can see from the schedule below, 
many of the talks concern linguistics, computational linguistics, or 
natural language processing.

Most lectures will take place on Wednesdays at 18:30 Central European 
(Summer) Time. All lectures will be held online via Zoom; in-person 
attendance at OFAI Headquarters in Vienna is also possible for certain 
lectures. Note that some talk details have changed since our initial 
announcement back in June.

Visit <https://www.ofai.at/lectures> for full details, including talk 
abstracts and connection details.  You can also sign up for our 
newsletter at <https://www.ofai.at/newsletter.html> to get e-mail 
notifications about the individual talks (and future OFAI events).

Sincerely,
Tristan Miller
