NSF currently sponsors an intensive summer research workshop series in human language technology and robust intelligence, organized and hosted by Johns Hopkins University. These workshops have exhibited a relatively unique model of interactive peer review, dynamic expert team generation, research acceleration via a condensed and unusually close collaboration environment and intensive student mentorship. A Scientific Community On-Site AssessmentWorkshop (OSAW) is being held on July 30-31, 2008, to review and and improve upon this model and investigate the potential for its extension to new scientific disciplines. During the OSAW, a team of expert research-community stakeholders observes current summer workshop processes, interviews participants, receives detailed briefs on prior peer-review, topic-selection and research team recruitment processes, and reaches findings and makes recommendations regarding these goals.The OSAW workshop will contribute to the progress of science by: (1) improving the existing NSF-sponsored intensive summer workshop series that has already engaged over 300 international participants and lead to hundreds of peer-reviewed publications and major scientific innovations, (2) the insights and conclusions reached by the OSAW, especially with respect to the interactive peer-review and intensive mentorship processes employed by the summer workshop, have the potential to inform and provide ideas for other peer-review and mentorship processes, such as utilized by NSF and other organizations, (3) the recommendations of the OSAW will provide a roadmap for the extension of the intensive summer-workshop model to other fields, with potential for the accelerated scientific progress and unique collaboration framework already realized by this model in human-language-technology fields.

NSF目前赞助了一个由约翰霍普金斯大学组织和主办的关于人类语言技术和健壮智能的密集夏季研究研讨会系列。这些研讨会展示了一种相对独特的互动同行评审模式，动态专家团队的产生，通过浓缩和异常紧密的合作环境和密集的学生指导来加速研究。2008年7月30日至31日举行了一个科学界现场评估研讨会（OSAW），以审查和改进这一模式，并调查将其扩展到新的科学学科的潜力。在OSAW期间，一个由研究社区利益相关者组成的专家小组观察当前的夏季研讨会进程，采访参与者，收到关于先前同行评审、主题选择和研究团队招聘过程的详细简报，并得出结论并就这些目标提出建议。OSAW讲习班将通过以下方式促进科学进步：(1)改进现有的美国国家科学基金会（nsf）赞助的密集夏季研讨会系列，该系列已经吸引了300多名国际参与者，并产生了数百篇同行评议的出版物和重大科学创新；(2)OSAW得出的见解和结论，特别是在夏季研讨会采用的交互式同行评议和密集指导过程方面，有可能为其他同行评议和指导过程提供信息和思路；(3) OSAW的建议将为强化夏季工作坊模式扩展到其他领域提供路线图，并具有加速科学进步的潜力，以及该模式在人类语言技术领域已经实现的独特合作框架。
