ACL 2017 Student Research Workshop

计算语言学协会（ACL）是研究计算语言学和自然语言处理的主要国际组织。它也是机器学习和人工智能研究人员的主要应用领域之一。其年度会议记录提供了该领域的基础；它是计算语言学中被引用最多、最受尊敬的出版物。因此，它也是计算语言学和自然语言处理研究人员最重要的聚会。该项目将资助被选中参加ACL学生研究研讨会的学生的差旅、会议和住房费用，该研讨会将于2017年7月31日至8月2日在加拿大温哥华举行的ACL主会议期间举行。学生研究研讨会有助于培养新一代的研究人员，他们对自己的领域有更全面的了解，跨机构的联系和合作，以及创新和令人兴奋的研究项目。这为美国的研究人员提供了所需的科学和工程知识和技能。研讨会鼓励合作研究的精神，并为新一代计算语言学家建立一个支持性的环境。学生研究工作坊征集两类作品：研究论文和研究建议。研究计划只能有一个作者，必须是学生。研究论文可以有多个作者，第一作者是学生（研究生或本科生）。研讨会为学生提供了一个场所，让他们从学校以外的专家那里获得建设性的批判性反馈，并与其他学生和本领域的高级研究人员建立联系。学生们通过提前展示他们的作品（即，以一种尚未为主要会议准备好的形式）来获得曝光。这对来自小型院校的学生和本科生尤其有价值。此外，工作坊由学生组织运作。学生组织者获得了宝贵的专业成长机会，并与主要会议组委会的研究人员进行了互动。

The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the primary international organization for computational linguistics and natural language processing. It also is one of the primary application areas for researchers in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The proceedings of its annual meeting provide the foundation of the field; it is the most cited and most respected publication in computational linguistics. Thus, it is also the most important gathering of researchers in computational linguistics and natural language processing. This project is to subsidize travel, conference and housing expenses of students selected to participate in the ACL Student Research Workshop, which will take place during the main ACL conference from July 31 - August 2, 2017 in Vancouver, Canada. The Student Research Workshop helps create a new generation of researchers with a more thorough understanding of their field, with connections and collaborations across institutions, and with innovative and exciting research programs. This contributes to America's pool of researchers with the needed scientific and engineering knowledge and skills. The workshop encourages a spirit of collaborative research and builds a supportive environment for a new generation of computational linguists.The Student Research Workshop solicits two categories of submissions: research papers and research proposals. The research proposal can have only one author who must be a student. The research papers can have multiple authors, with the first author being a student (at either the graduate or undergraduate level). The workshop is a venue for students to receive constructive critical feedback on their work from experts outside of their institution, and to connect with other students and senior researchers in their field. The students gain exposure by presenting their work earlier than they would otherwise (i.e., in a form not yet ready for the main conference). This is particularly valuable for students from smaller institutions and undergraduate students. In addition, the workshop is organized and run by students. The student organizers gain valuable opportunities for professional growth and interaction with the researchers on the organizing committee of the main conference.
