US - Morocco Workshop: Language Technology Research and Education Program: Project Startup and Team-Building, March 2006, Rabat, Morocco

0538906摩纳哥该项目支持美国-摩洛哥讲习班：语言技术研究和教育方案，2006年3月，摩洛哥拉巴特。 美国组织者是曼哈顿堪萨斯州立大学心理学系的Gregory Monaco博士和大平原网络（GPN）研究和教育主任以及摩洛哥拉巴特国立矿业学院（ENIM）语言、通信和计算机科学中心的Abdelhadi Soudi博士。 该研讨会的研究目标是使参与教师和学生熟悉目前正在处理的研究问题，并与研究专业知识，以确定一组共同的研究问题有关的英语，阿拉伯语和柏柏尔语的处理，制定计划，开发人类语言技术（HLT）的应用，并优先考虑和发展伙伴关系，以解决一系列问题。 教育目标是使参与者能够确定向不同受众有效教授自然语言处理的方法，包括不同学科的学生和广泛的经验，以确定每个大学对HLT联合学位的潜在贡献组件（课程），以确定完成HLT课程所需的课程，并制定实施联合HLT课程的计划。拟议的研讨会符合一个更大的计划，以创造两国高等教育机构之间充满活力的研究和教育合作。美国迫切需要阿拉伯语资源和新方法的帮助，使阿拉伯语语音的处理更加充分。 大平原网络在传播和远程学习方面具有优势，将吸引一系列参与者，包括语言学家、人类学家和计算专家。该讲习班将培养和加强美国/全球伙伴网络与摩洛哥研究人员之间的工作关系，并提高跨文化意识和敏感性。两国研究生之间建立的工作关系将确保这一努力传播到最初参与的机构之外。该研讨会的长期成果包括教育交流，跨学科，跨文化培训人类语言技术研究生，以及劳动力发展。由此产生的联合研究计划的其他影响可能是文化和经济的，通过帮助维护语言和文化多样性，通过加强阿拉伯语和其他地方方言在语言学和语言技术中的地位，通过简化美国公司进入摩洛哥市场，反之亦然，通过为文档和营销材料提供自动翻译工具的基础。

0538906MonacoThis project supports a U.S.-Morocco Workshop: Language Technology Research and Education Program, March 2006, Rabat, Morocco. The US organizer is Dr. Gregory Monaco, Department of Psychology, Kansas State University, Manhattan and Director for Research and Education, Great Plains Network (GPN) and Dr. Abdelhadi Soudi, Center for Languages, Communication and Computer Science, Ecole Nationale de L'Industrie Minerale (ENIM), Rabat, Morocco. The workshop's research goals are to enable participating faculty and students to familiarize themselves with research problems currently being tackled, and with research expertise, to identify a common set of research problems related to the processing of English, Arabic, and Berber, to make plans to develop Human Language Technology (HLT) applications, and to prioritize and develop partnerships to tackle the set of problems. The educational goals are to enable participants to identify methodologies for effective teaching of Natural Language Processing to a diverse audience, consisting of a mix of students in various disciplines and with a wide range of experiences, to identify potential contributory components (courses) from each university towards a joint degree in HLT, to identify needed courses to complete a program in HLT, and to develop a plan for implementing the joint HLT curriculum. The proposed workshop fits into a larger plan to create a vibrant research and education collaboration between institutions of higher education in the two countries. There is a pressing need in the US for help with Arabic language resources and new approaches to making the processing of Arabic speech more adequate. The Great Plains Network, with its strengths in dissemination and distance learning, will bring in a range of participants, including linguists, anthropologists, and computational experts. The workshop will cultivate and strengthen working relationships between US/GPN and Moroccan researchers and increase cross-cultural awareness and sensitivity. Working relationships developed among graduate students from both countries will assure that the effort is propagated beyond the initial institutions involved. Longer-term outcomes of the workshop include educational exchange, interdisciplinary, cross-cultural training of Human Language Technology graduate students, and workforce development. Additional impacts of the resulting joint research program are likely to be both cultural and economic by assisting in safeguarding linguistic and cultural diversity, by strengthening the position of Arabic and other local dialects in linguistics and language technology, by easing entry of US companies into the Moroccan market and vice versa, by providing the basis for automatic translation tools for documentation and marketing material.
