UCSC has created a unique Master’s program in NLP to provide students with the skills and in-depth knowledge of NLP algorithms, technologies, and applications that are in high demand in both industry and academia. Our program goes beyond the classroom by supplying students with industry-relevant projects for the kind of real-world experience that is essential for a successful career in NLP. Students of this 1-year intensive program participate in a 3-quarter capstone project that extensively covers both industry-relevant and research focused topics in the NLP field. Students receive instruction and collaborate with experts from industry giants like IBM, Microsoft, Amazon and Bloomberg. On Friday, August 27th, 2021, UCSC NLP MS students will showcase their 3-quarter capstone projects at the inaugural NLP Capstone Workshop . Each team will be given time to present and answer questions, attendees are welcome to participate in discussion. The workshop will start at 9:30am PDT and will conclude at 2:30pm PDT. In addition to the presentations, we will be hosting a career panel with highly esteemed members of the NLP field. The panelists will briefly introduce themselves and answer career questions pertaining to NLP. Please register through the link above as advance registration will be strictly required.
