Come learn more on Wednesday, 11/5 in Parrish 159 at 3:00pm. Swattie (’97) and colleagues from a San Francisco-based Crowdsourced Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning Start-up want to hire you. Seriously. There will be Sushi. Invite your friends. We are nice. Our information session will also be a talk on the social good themes that drive Idibon's technical development, so please attend. Join Sarah and Jessica for a conversation about how cloud-based software can create tighter feedback loops between rural communities and government and non-government organizations. Idibon, a 12-person computational linguistics start-up, focuses primarily on creating digital products for underserved languages. English-language bias on the internet prevents effective information exchange for billions of people who do not have access to critical written information in their local languages. The speakers talk about the proliferation of mobile phones, and what this means for information exchange worldwide. Using their work with UNICEF Uganda's uReport program as a case study, they will talk about how soliciting information from people who live in rural areas can aid in disaster response and civic planning. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
