2nd Workshop on NLP for ConvAI

NLP for Conversational AI

ACL 2020 Workshop in Seattle, USA

Note, since this year's NLP4ConvAI workshop goes virtual, we only host live QA session (and a panel session) on the workshop day. Therefore, in order to get the most out of the workshop, it is recommended that you watch all the prerecorded talks before the workshop day.
