Workshop: Student Research in Computational Linguistics, at the ACL'2000 Conference

这笔款项是用以资助学生参加学生研究工作坊的费用，该工作坊是与计算语言学学会于2000年10月3日至6日在香港举行的计算语言学会议(ACL‘2000)合办的。计算语言学协会(ACL)是自然语言处理和语言工程领域的主要国际组织，由欧洲(EACL)和北美(NAACL)两个区域分会组成，规模大致相同。该协会的年度会议在北美和欧洲之间轮流举行，是该领域的主要国际会议，今年首次在太平洋沿岸国家举行。研讨会形式允许学生有足够的时间介绍他们的研究(25分钟)，并从该领域的知名研究人员小组获得反馈(15分钟)。它将通过小组和其他学生参与者的反馈，为学生提供宝贵的机会，让他们在研究的关键时刻接触到外界对他们工作的看法。ACL学生研讨会是鼓励年轻的和即将到来的计算语言学家的一种廉价而高效的手段。这种亲密的形式鼓励学生参与者开始与知名研究人员建立融洽的关系。这种培养努力应该会带来红利，在这个快速变化的研究领域更有效地指导学生。此外，通过为这些学生建立一个支持的环境，他们更有可能在未来的道路上反过来向其他跟随他们的学生伸出支持之手。

This is funding to subsidize expenses of student participants in the Student Research Workshop organized in conjunction with the Association for Computational Linguistics Conference (ACL'2000), which was held October 3-6, 2000, in Hong Kong. The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the primary international organization in the field of natural language processing and language engineering, with two regional chapters, Europe (EACL) and North America (NAACL), of approximately equal size. The Association's annual conference, which rotates between North America and Europe, is the major international meeting in the field, and was held for the first time this year in a Pacific Rim country. The workshop format allows students sufficient time to present their research (25 minutes) and receive feedback from a panel of established researchers in the field (15 minutes). It will provide students with invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work at a critical time in their research, through feedback from the panel and other student participants. The ACL Student Workshop is an inexpensive yet highly effective means of encouraging young and upcoming computational linguists. The intimate format encourages the student participants to begin building a rapport with established researchers. This nurturing effort should pay dividends by more effectively guiding students in this rapidly changing research field. In addition, by building a supportive environment for these students, it is more likely that down the road they will in turn lend a supporting hand to other students who follow.
