«Hack Apertus» - Challenge info session: UZH

​Hoi and welcome to "Hack Apertus"!

Join us for a live introduction to one of the "Hack Apertus" challenges, brought by the University of Zurich (UZH), Department of Computational Linguistics.

​Swiss government websites exist in several language versions, but do they always say the same thing? This challenge is about automatically detecting where meaning differs across the German, French, Italian and English versions of a page, using Apertus.

​In this session:

• ​a walkthrough of the challenge and dataset,

• ​what a strong submission looks like

• ​and a live Q&A with the challenge provider.

​Speaker:
Michelle Wastl, University of Zurich — Department of Computational Linguistics.
