Extended Visit to Asian Research Labs for Selected Students Attending ACL 2012 Student Research Workshop

该项目资助美国研究生扩大对选定的亚洲语音和语言处理研究小组的研究访问。这些学生是从参加计算语言学协会（ACL）年会的学生中挑选出来的，该年会将于2012年7月8日至14日在韩国济州岛举行。入选的学生将与所在国家的研究人员共同开展研究项目，让学生有机会接触不同国家的文化和新的研究范式，开阔视野，产生新的研究思路，提高他们在全球市场的竞争力，培养成为未来全球需要的科学家。这次访问还有助于在亚洲东道主和学生在美国的家乡研究小组之间建立桥梁，这将促进美国和其他国家之间的长期合作，促进整个世界的科学和技术发展。

The project funds extended research visits of U.S-based graduate students to selected Asian research groups working in speech and language processing. These students are selected from those attending the annual meeting of Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), which will be held in Jeju, Korea, July 8-14, 2012. The selected students will work on a research project with researchers in the hosting group they are visiting.This project will provide opportunities for students to be exposed to different culture and new research paradigm in other countries, broaden their horizon and help generate new research ideas, and help make them more competitive in the global market and develop into the scientists that are needed globally in the future. The extended visit also helps build bridges between the Asian hosts and the student's home research group in the U.S. This will facilitate long term collaboration between U.S. and other countries, and advance science and technology in the whole world.
