Outstanding Student Research at GL2013

该奖项为计算语言学研究生提供旅费和住宿费，他们的论文被选为2013年9月在意大利比萨举行的第六届词汇生成方法国际会议(GL2013)上发表的论文。GL会议的总体目标是将理论和计算语言学、计算机科学、认知科学和词典学的研究人员聚集在一起，探讨语义组合性问题--自然语言中的表达如何从自然语言中的语义构成成分(单词或惯用的多词表达)的词典或词典的结构中派生出来的。GL2013特别致力于探索生成方法和分布语义学之间的关系和潜在的协同效应。生成方法假设语义构成成分是结构化的对象，分布语义学的支持者通常假设它们是内部非结构化的，并通过它们在语言语境中的分布来分析它们的语义贡献。这一奖项使从事计算语义学工作的有才华的学生能够与与该领域相关的各种领域和视角的专业人士互动，并在一个主要的国际场所展示他们的作品。这反过来将有助于培养对下一代计算研究人员的持久兴趣，这可能在很长一段时间内仍将是跨学科研究的主要领域。

This award provides funding for the travel and accommodation expenses for graduate students in computational linguistics whose papers have been selected for presentation at the Sixth International Conference on Generative Approaches to the Lexicon (GL2013) conference in Pisa, Italy, in September 2013. The overall goal of the GL conferences is to bring together researchers in theoretical and computational linguistics, computer science, cognitive science, and lexicography to explore the problem of semantic compositionality -- how the meaning of expressions in natural languages derives from the structure of the lexicon, or dictionary, of semantic formatives (words or idiomatic multi-word expressions) in a natural language. GL2013 specifically aims at exploring the relation and potential synergies between generative approaches, which assume that semantic formatives are structured objects, and distributional semantics, whose proponents typically assume that they are internally unstructured and analyze their semantic contribution by means of their distribution in linguistic contexts. This award enables talented students working on computational semantics to interact with professionals in a variety of fields and perspectives related to that domain, and to present their work in a major international venue. This in turn will help to nurture a lasting interest in the upcoming generation of computational researchers in what is likely to remain a major area of interdisciplinary study for a very long time.
