10 days until #CLIN34! The 34th edition of Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands, held at @UniLeiden this year.

We present the program on https://t.co/E10OEoiVVZ
Registration is still possible!

[Leiden Computer Science @LIACS]

Hanjo Boekhout, Frank Takes and Arjan Blokland developed a method to predict which sellers will be successful in illegal online marketplaces. This can help the police track down big players on the dark web, the hidden part of the internet. Read more here: https://t.co/mfgQT1zPJn

Professor Vedran Dunjko’s research focuses on quantum computing, which leverages quantum effects to enhance computation, potentially leading to much more powerful computers. He tells all about this in the new episode of our podcast series. Listen here: https://t.co/EdiD5gQF9e

[Stephan Hacker (inactive account) @StephanHacker2]

Looking forward to the first @LED3hub PhD/postdoc symposium #LED3Symposium on Thursday, June 20th. Very excited to learn about the science done by PhDs and postdocs across our four institutes (Leiden Institute of Chemistry, @LACDR, @LeidenBiology and @LIACS) at @LeidenScienceEN.

[Leiden Computer Science @LIACS]

Assistant Professor Hazel Doughty specializes in computer vision, aiming to enable computers to automatically understand visual content. She tells all about it in the 8th episode of our podcast 'Computers don't byte'. Listen here: https://t.co/KTKTxw0bUV

[Leiden Computer Science @LIACS]

A new episode of our podcast 'Computers don't byte' is out. Ass. Prof. Jan van Rijn talks about his research into the trustworthiness of AI. Focussing on machine learning and with particular emphasis on enhancing the robustness of AI systems. Listen here https://t.co/djJInjHYPA

Congrats, @hansdieterhiep from both @LIACS in Leiden and our Computer Security group in Amsterdam, with your 'cum laude' PhD defence, last week! 🎉

[Suzan Verberne 🤹‍♀️ @suzan]

Thank you @perayson!

I presented the work of @LIACS master student Fons Hartendorp in the #cl4health workshop @LrecColing

Fons did his bio-informatics research project on Biomedical Entity Linking for Dutch @4dPicture
