TaCoS Conference
After a year of organising, we hosted the TaCoS in Düsseldorf!
TaCoS is a student conference for Computational Linguistics and is organised by volunteers from different universities each year. Presentations ranged from evaluating the creativity of LLM-generated code to identifying acoustic and syntactic variations in Parkinson's Disease patients using speech models.
Thank you to all the participants, keynote speakers and helpers!
