Artificial intelligence pioneer Barbara Grosz has received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Association for Computational Linguistics. The award recognizes the work of a researcher who has made sustained and impressive contributions to the field of Computational Linguistics/Natural Language Processing. Grosz has spent her career working to make human-computer interactions as fluent as human-to-human interaction. Her recent research has focused on fundamental problems in modeling collaborative activity, developing systems ("agents") able to collaborate with each other and their users, and constructing collaborative, multi-modal systems for human-computer communication. Her current research projects focus on using results of prior work to improve health care coordination and enhance K-12 science education. #Harvard #Harvardseas @aclnlp #aclnlp2017 #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #computationalliguistics #computerscience #humancomputerinteraction #research (at Harvard John A.
