Workshop: Student Research in Computational Linguistics

该奖项用于资助被选中参加2004年7月21日至26日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的联合ACL学生研究研讨会的学生的旅行、会议和住房费用。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。该协会的年度会议在美洲、环太平洋国家和欧洲/非洲轮流举行，是该领域的主要国际会议。计算语言学是一个对科学、商业和社会日益重要的多学科领域。这次研讨会有助于年轻科学家的专业发展，他们将在未来几十年领导这一不断发展的领域。研讨会的形式允许学生展示他们的研究，并从该领域的知名研究人员小组获得反馈。通过小组和其他学生参与者的反馈，它为学生在专业发展的关键时刻提供了宝贵的外部视角。此外，学生参与者将能够看到彼此的演示和反馈，这可能会导致标准和期望的普遍提高，加强未来的学生研究。ACL学生工作坊是鼓励年轻和即将到来的计算语言学家的一种廉价但非常有效的手段。这种亲密的形式鼓励学生参与者开始与已有的研究人员建立融洽的关系。研讨会应有助于维护和发展一支熟练和多样化的自然语言处理工作队伍，帮助培养一批具有自然语言处理未来应用所需的科学和工程知识的研究人员。它应该有助于促进国际科学交流，为该领域未来的领导人提供择优机会，让他们参加一个会议，否则这个会议的地理多样性可能会比该领域所希望的要少。此外，通过为这些学生建立一个支持性的环境，他们更有可能在未来的道路上，向其他学生伸出支持之手。

This award is for funding to subsidize travel, conference, and housing expenses of students selected to participate in the ACL Student Research Workshop to be held during the joint ACL on July 21st to 26th, 2004 in Barcelona, Spain. The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the primary international organization in the field of natural language processing and language engineering. The Association's annual conference, which rotates among the Americas, Pacific-rim countries, and Europe/Africa, is the major international meeting in the field. Computational linguistics is a multidisciplinary field of increasing importance to science, commerce, and society. This workshop contributes to the professional development of young scientists who will lead this growing field in the coming decades.The workshop format allows students to present their research and receive feedback from a panel of established researchers in the field. It provides students with invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work at a critical time in their professional development through feedback from the panel and other student participants. Also, student participants will be able to see each other's presentations and feedback, which could lead to a general raising of standards and expectations, strengthening future student research. 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. The workshop should contribute to the maintenance and development of a skilled and diverse natural language processing workforce, helping to produce a pool of researchers with the scientific and engineering knowledge required for future applications of natural language processing. It should help to foster international scientific exchange, providing merit-based opportunities for future leaders of the field to attend a conference that might otherwise be less geographically diverse than is desirable for the field. In addition, by building a supportive environment for these students, it is more likely that down the road, they will lend a supporting hand to other students who follow.
