" Creating Ontology-annotated Corpora from Wikipedia for 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏ical Named-entity Recognition". The ACL is one of the world's leading conferences in the field of computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP).

The conference offered him the opportunity to exchange ideas with leading experts and gain valuable insights into the latest developments in computational linguistics. The exchange with colleagues from the Educational Technoloy Lab (EdTex) at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the LISN - Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire des Sciences du Numérique was particularly enriching and made the stay in Bangkok unforgettable, both during the sessions and afterwards.

Johann Frei was particularly impressed by the wide range of presentations on highly topical issues in applied computational linguistics. The highlight of the conference for him was the professional exchange with experienced researchers on the latest developments in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) as well as on approaches to adequately teach NLP in the age of large language models (LLMs).
