It will feature lectures by NLP researchers, posters and social sessions. The planned duration is between 6 and 8 hours, and it will be structured as a series of lectures\/presentations on different topics, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NLP for underrepresented languages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BioNLP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sentiment and opinion analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hate speech detection and counter-speech generation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use of NLP tools for Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Optionally, we plan to have a final assignment or project that students could do in order to obtain career credits for their attendance and work. The target audience of the school are graduate students in NLP related fields, or undergraduate students interested in the field, but it could also appeal to established academics, industry professionals, and other people interested in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also hope this serves as a gathering point for NLP researchers in the region. Latin America has for a long time been under-represented in the NLP community, and this regional event could help students and researchers to know each other, exchange ideas, obtain feedback, and start new collaborations, fostering interaction and helping them become part of the wider research community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Organizers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luis Chiruzzo, Instituto de Computaci\u00f3n, Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda, UDELAR<br>luischir@fing.edu.uy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Viviana Cotik,&nbsp; Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n de Ciencias de la Computaci\u00f3n (ICC).
