„Best Paper Award“ for HITS researchers
Federico López and Michael Strube, both members of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) group at HITS, and Benjamin Heinzerling (former HITS researcher) have been awarded the “Best Paper Award” at the “Workshop on Representation Learning for NLP“ (Rep4NLP) at this year’s ACL Annual Meeting. The title of their paper is „Fine-Grained Entity Typing in Hyperbolic Space“ and deals with representing hierarchical information using hyperbolic models.
The 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) took place in Florence (Italy) from 28 July to 2 August 2019. The „Rep4NLP“ workshop was the largest workshop of the meeting with 400 participants, 83 submissions, 40 accepted papers, and 3 best paper awards. The 57th Annual Meeting was also the biggest meeting of its kind with 3300 participants. ACL 2020 will take place in Seattle (USA): https://twitter.com/aclmeeting

About HITS
HITS, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, was established in 2010 by physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences. Major research directions include complex simulations across scales, making sense of data, and enabling science via computational research. Application areas range from molecular biology to astrophysics. An essential characteristic of the Institute is interdisciplinarity, implemented in numerous cross-group and cross-disciplinary projects. The base funding of HITS is provided by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
