    The University of Southern California, being an active member of SAP's Global University Alliances program since its inception in 1996, has been chosen to offer the TERP10 Academy to its students in early Summer 2014. The TERP10 Academy, and its certification, is a direct response to the global forecast of needed SAP skills in the market, estimated between 30,000 and 40,000, in the next several years. Students completing the TERP10 Academy and passing SAP's certification exam will have the advantage of being equipped with a good understanding of business processes adopted by companies around the world. They will also get insights into best business practices and how SAP can be used to optimize business processes. Students will find that the TERP10 Certification will open internship opportunities as well as full time jobs with consulting firms such as Deloitte, Ernst and Young, KPMG, Hitachi, and other SAP partner companies.

  • NL Seminar-"Scaling Semantic Parsing to Large Domains" [Intern talk]

    Talk Title: Scaling Semantic Parsing to Large Domains [Intern talk]

    Series: Natural Language Seminar

    Abstract: We consider the challenge of learning semantic parsers that scale to large, open-domain problems, such as question answering or knowledge base completion with Freebase. In such settings, the sentences cover a wide variety of topics and include many phrases whose meaning is difficult to represent in a fixed target ontology. For example, even simple phrases such as `daughter' and `number of people living in' cannot be directly represented in Freebase, whose ontology instead encodes facts about gender, parenthood, and population. Here, we introduce a semantic parsing approach that learns to resolve such ontological mismatches. The parser uses a probabilistic CCG to build linguistically motivated logical-form meaning representations, and includes an ontology matching model that adapts the output logical forms for each target ontology.



    Biography: Eunsol Choi is a Ph.D student at the University of Washington, advised by Prof. Luke Zettlemoyer. Prior to UW, she studied mathematics and computer science at Cornell University.
