[Nick Montfort]

    Pablo Gervás
    MIT, 14E-310
    Wednesday May 20
    6pm-7pm

Next week, Purple Blurb offers a special talk by a leading European 
researcher in creative text generation.

Pablo Gervás works as associate professor (profesor titular de 
universidad) at the Departamento de Ingeniería del Software e Inteligencia 
Artificial, Facultad de Informática, Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

He is the director of the NIL research group <http://nil.fdi.ucm.es> and 
also of the Instituto de Tecnología del Conocimiento 
<http://www.itc.ucm.es>.

His research is on processing natural language input, generating natural 
language output, building resources for related tasks, and generating 
stories.

In the area of creative text generation, he has done work on automatically 
generating metaphors, formal poetry, and short films.

He will speak at 6pm on Wednesday May 20 in 14E-310. For those who have 
come to previous Purple Blurb events in the Trope Tank, this is just one 
more floor up the stairs.

The talk is (as with all Purple Blurb presentations) open to the public, 
and (as with all Purple Blurb presentations so far) will be in English.
