Student Support at the North American Association for Computational Linguistics Workshop on Computational Methods for Analysis of Narrative

CLfL 2015研讨会的主要目标是通过汇集研究叙事计算方法的研究人员来加强自然语言处理（NLP）领域的研究。叙述性数据与技术性较强的文本有很大的不同，NLP方法可能无法直接应用。叙事分析提出了新的、有趣的问题。读者将文本视为一种创造性的表达形式，他们期望的不仅仅是典型的信息搜索工具。例如，一个人可能对阅读推荐、分析某个时期或子流派的叙事或找到某些叙事装置的示例感兴趣。该研讨会与NAACL 2015会议在科罗拉多丹佛举行。该奖项为积极参加讲习班的学生提供旅费和住宿费补贴。这些旅费赠款支持地理和其他少数民族，让他们有机会交流思想，接触该领域的关键人物，并从高级参与者那里获得宝贵的反馈。这个研讨会有助于维持和发展一个叙事计算语言学研究社区，重点是北美地区。该研讨会通过汇集来自计算机科学和人文科学的人员，加强了对计算方法叙事不同方面的个人，准时努力的研究。 它还促进了在学术或工业环境中工作的理论家和实践者之间的跨学科合作。

The main goal of the CLfL 2015 workshop is to strengthen research in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) by bringing together researchers working on computational approaches to narrative. Narrative data differ from texts in more technical expository genres strongly enough that NLP methods might not be directly applicable. The analysis of narrative poses new, interesting problems. The readers treat texts as a form of creative expression, and they expect more than the typical information-seeking tools. For example, a person may be interested in reading recommendations, analyzing narrative of a certain period or sub-genre or finding examples of certain narrative devices. The workshop is held in conjunction with NAACL 2015 conference, in Denver, Colorado. This award subsidizes travel and accommodation expenses for students actively participating in the workshop. These travel grants support geographic and other minorities by giving them an opportunity to exchange ideas, get into contact with key persons in the field, and gain invaluable feedback from the senior participants.This workshop contributes to the maintenance and development of a research community in computational linguistics for narrative, with a geographical focus on North America. The workshop strengthens research in individual, punctual efforts on different aspects of computational approaches to narrative by bringing together people from both computer science and humanities. It also fosters collaboration between theoreticians and practitioners working in academic or industrial settings, across disciplines.
