This proposal requests funding to subsidize travel, conference and housing expenses of students selected to participate in the NAACL-HLT 2016 Student Research Workshop, which will take place during the main NAACL-HLT conference June 12 - June 17, 2016 in San Diego, California. The annual meeting of its North American chapter of the Association of Computational Linguistics (NAACL) is one of the most prestigious and selective international conferences in these fields. The Student Research Workshop (SRW) is an established tradition at ACL and NAACL conferences, allowing students to present their research and receive feedback from senior researchers. The Student Research Workshop provides a valuable research opportunity for students at different stages (undergraduate students, early graduate students and advanced graduate students) of their academic careers, and contributes to the development of a skilled and diverse computational linguistics and natural language processing workforce. This year, two of the student organizers are women, which will help promote and broaden the participation of women in natural language processing and computational linguistics.The NAACL-HLT 2016 Student Research Workshop (SRW) encourages submissions in three categories: 1) thesis proposals, for advanced students who have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and research direction; 2) research papers, for graduate students to present either completed work or work in progress that has already achieved preliminary results; 3) undergraduate research papers, for undergraduate students to present their work. Each accepted paper will be assigned a mentor who will meet with the student during the NAACL conference and provide individual feedback. By including students at different stages of their academic careers (undergraduate students, early graduate students and advanced graduate students) and by encouraging a spirit of collaborative research, the Student Research Workshop aims to build a supportive environment for a new generation of computational linguists. In addition, the SRW is organized by students themselves, advised by two senior researchers in the field. The students who are involved in running and reviewing for the workshop have ample opportunities to interact with the researchers on the organizing committee of the main conference. The opportunities for interaction with other students and with senior researchers will positively influence the students? experience in research and will likely inspire many to devote further effort to academic studies and careers.

该提案要求提供资金，以补贴被选中参加NAACL-HLT 2016学生研究研讨会的学生的旅费、会议费和住宿费，该研讨会将于2016年6月12日至6月17日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行。计算语言学协会(NAACL)北美分会的年度会议是这些领域最负盛名和最具选择性的国际会议之一。学生研究研讨会(SRW)是ACL和NAACL会议上的一项既定传统，允许学生展示他们的研究并接收资深研究人员的反馈。学生研究工作坊为处于学术生涯不同阶段的学生(本科生、预科研究生和高级研究生)提供了宝贵的研究机会，并有助于培养一支熟练和多样化的计算语言学和自然语言处理劳动力队伍。今年的学生组织者中有两位是女性，这将有助于促进和扩大女性在自然语言处理和计算语言学领域的参与。NAACL-HLT 2016学生研究研讨会(SRW)鼓励以下三类提交：1)论文提案，面向已确定论文主题并希望获得对其提案和研究方向的反馈的高级学生；2)研究论文，供研究生展示已完成或已取得初步成果的正在进行的工作；3)本科生研究论文，供本科生展示他们的工作。每一篇被录取的论文都将被指派一名导师，导师将在NAACL会议期间与学生会面并提供个人反馈。通过将处于学术生涯不同阶段的学生(本科生、预科研究生和高级研究生)包括在内，并通过鼓励合作研究的精神，学生研究工作坊旨在为新一代计算语言学家建立一个支持性的环境。此外，SRW是由学生自己组织的，由该领域的两名资深研究人员提供建议。参与研讨会运行和评审的学生有足够的机会与主会议组委会的研究人员互动。与其他学生和资深研究人员互动的机会会对学生产生积极的影响吗？在研究方面的经验，可能会激励许多人进一步致力于学术研究和职业生涯。
