Meet the residents: Khalil Sima'an
LAB42 comes alive! It is the new international AI and digital innovation hub at Amsterdam Science Park, opening September 2022. The aim is to build a community that fosters stronger connections between companies, students and researchers. LAB42 is a unique, international place for knowledge and talent development (in AI and digital technologies.) In this series, we explore the motives and drivers of the future residents of the building. This time: Khalil Sima'an, Leader of Statistical Language Processing and Learning lab at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, University of Amsterdam. ‘The fact that machines can't yet relate language to human experiences is a major limitation that we, as scientists, hope to be able to overcome in the coming decades.'
