1st Version of Data, Beer & Pizza IMFD, with talks by Jorge Pérez, Magdalena Saldaña, and Marcelo Arenas.

How can computers understand natural language today? What can trigger a troll on social media, and what does incivility on these platforms respond to? Are computers all-powerful, or do they have limits to their capabilities?

Magdalena Saldaña, associate researcher at the Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data (IMFD) and faculty member at the School of Communications of the P. Universidad Católica; Jorge Pérez, associate researcher at IMFD and faculty member at the Department of Computer Science of the Universidad de Chile, and Marcelo Arenas, director of IMFD and Full Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Universidad Católica, will give three entertaining talks on these topics, in a relaxed atmosphere where attendees will be able to chat with the researchers.

Data, Beer & Pizza is a free-entry IMFD event. Availability of spots will depend on attendance, as the venue has capacity for just over 100 people. Attendees only need to cover their own food and drinks.

WHEN: Tuesday, April 16 at 8:00 pm.

WHERE: Azotea Mackenna (Galería Mackenna, Vicuña Mackenna 38, Providencia, Santiago).
