Technical Language Processing Community of Interest 2024 Meeting

Join Us for the 2024 TLP COI Meeting and Workshop

The Technical Language Processing Community of Interest (TLP COI) in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cordially invites you to participate in the upcoming 2024 TLP COI Meeting and Workshop. This virtual event, spanning two days, aims to foster connections and exchange insights across all facets of the TLP Community: from researchers and developers to practitioners and consumers of TLP.

Event Focus

In an ever-evolving landscape where industry, artificial intelligence, and human-centered intelligent automation intersect with communications and language, it's crucial to stay ahead. This year’s meeting will spotlight the current landscape of language processing needs and emerging applications, with a keen focus on risk awareness, accessibility, and longevity.

Why Attend?

NIST, alongside industry and academic leaders, is proud to host this public forum to explore and learn about the emerging tools that will shape the critical technologies of the future. Our lineup of expert speakers and panelists will delve into a diverse array of topics, covering everything from current tools and best practices in utilizing and creating TLP systems to real-world TLP needs and use cases from industry, government, and academic research.

Key Highlights

• Insights into current tools and best practices in TLP systems
• Exploration of emerging applications and use cases
• Roundtable discussion with expert panelists on measuring impacts and results of TLP use in the field
