US-Morocco Planning Visit: Human Language Technology Research and Education

0353201摩纳哥，描述：该项目是为了支持项目规划活动，项目规划活动涉及堪萨斯大学劳伦斯分校大平原网络联盟研究主任格雷戈里·摩纳哥博士和摩洛哥拉巴特国家L工业矿产学院语言、通信和计算机科学中心Abdelhadi Soudi博士。他们计划会见一些可能参与人类语言技术领域跨学科研究和教育议程的美国人。这项技术将应用于英语和阿拉伯方言，也可能应用于土著语言。Soudi最近在自然语言处理方面进行了有趣的工作，并参观了美国和英国的实验室，在这些访问期间开展的项目取得了成功。科学家们打算将这一结果用于本科生和研究生教育。当然，人类语言技术的进步将对人们在日常生活中使用计算机的方式产生更广泛的影响。阿拉伯语言处理方面的进展早该有了。范围：这个奖项将允许摩洛哥科学家访问美国私人情报局和他的美国同事，他们来自不同的背景。这些不同的背景可能对计划中的人类语言技术主题的研究有用。苏迪博士和摩纳哥博士之前有过接触，并联合提交了一篇会议论文。他们计划获得该地区其他个人的广泛参与和承诺，如本项目所设想的那样，并通过面对面的会议敲定研究合作的细节。

0353201Monaco, Description: This project is for support of project planning activity involving Dr. Gregory Monaco, Director of Research, Great Plains Network Consortium, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas and Dr. Abdelhadi Soudi, the Center for Language, Communications and Computer Science at the Ecole Nationale de L'Industrie Mineral (ENIM) in Rabat, Morocco. They plan to meet with a number of U.S. potential participants in an interdisciplinary research and education agenda in the area of Human Language Technology. The technology will be applied to English and Arabic dialects, and possibly to indigenous languages as well. Soudi has done recent interesting work in natural language processing, and has visited laboratories in the United States and Britain, and the projects undertaken during those visits have been successful. The scientists intend to use the results in undergraduate and graduate education. Advances in human language technology would of course have broader impact on the way people use computers in everyday life. Advances in Arabic language processing are long overdue. Scope: This award will allow the Moroccan scientist to visit the U.S. P.I. and his U.S. colleagues, who come from a variety of backgrounds. These various backgrounds are potentially useful for the planned research on the subject of human language technology. Dr. Soudi and Dr. Monaco have had previous contacts, and have jointly submitted one conference paper. They plan to obtain widespread involvement and commitment of other individuals in this region as envisioned in this project and to iron out the details of the research collaboration through face-to-face meetings.
