SIG outcomes in the period April 2020 - October 2020 (for existing SIGs)

• General meetings: 20200629 and 20200928

• Course meetings (Deep Learning for NLP): 20200518, 20200615 and 20201008

Plans for the period until the end of October 2020

• Finish course Deep Learning for NLP: we have one [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoROMvodv4rOhcuXMZkNm7j3fVwBBY42z](video lecture) left and might want to add one or two hands-on sessions
• Continue general meetings: in which we discuss the progress of the running NLeSC NLP projects

What are the expected outputs of the proposed SIG?

• Improved awareness of natural language processing issues in current eScience projects by increased communication between knowledgeable and interested engineers
• Better chance of solving bottlenecks in these projects thanks to feedback of our team
• Enhanced understanding of recent natural language processing techniques among eScience engineers by presentations/courses of recent developments in the field
