IMPORTANT UPDATE (2020/03/02):

The current development of systran and openNMT aims at client-specific, individual models which results in endless energy consuming model training. Therefore, we are using fairseq with its pretained xlm-r for our multilingual, multi-domain models in our current project. Nevertheless, we are interested in your workshop videos and fascinating tutorials.

Will it be possible to attend remotely with a video streaming ?

This has yet to be determined. I know there were some recordings in 2018 but I don’t exactly remember if they were live as well.

Because of the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak and local recommendations to restrict public gathering and travel, we are sorry to inform you that we decided to postpone the workshop to a later date.

We will come back with a new date once we have more visibility on how things are evolving.

Thank you for your understanding.
