Roberto Navigli, Sapienza University Symposium Artificial Intelligence and Ceremony of Awards. 21 and 22 October 2019. Understanding language is a hard task for a computer even in the era of deep learning. In this talk I will advocate the importance of interdisciplinary work for multilingual Natural Language Understanding: I will present current state-of-the-art results attained by joining forces between computer scientists and (computational) linguists, in order to address the knowledge acquisition bottleneck and scale up key tasks in word- and sentence-level semantics which enable computers to understand what is written in a text. I will also showcase innovative multilingual solutions developed in my research group and at Babelscape, a Sapienza startup company I co-founded.
