[SCOPE]

Natural language processing (NLP) is a rapidly growing field with
applications in many of the technologies we use every day, from virtual
assistants and smart speakers to autocorrect. 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
