The meetup will take place in Baltimore and will start at 6 pm with 30 minutes of networking — join us for beer & pizza — followed by a program featuring Philip Resnik speaking on the state of NLP — on mainstream and emerging natural language understanding techniques — and mapped to startup and AI research opportunities.

Resnik is professor of linguistics and computer science at the Univ of Maryland (http://users.umiacs.umd.edu/~resnik/) and has been involved with a number of startups including, currently, Thematically (https://www.thematically.com/).
