The 2018 NAACL Student Research Workshop

计算语言学协会（ACL）是计算语言学和自然语言处理的主要国际组织，而自然语言处理又是机器学习和人工智能研究的主要应用领域之一。美国ACL北美分会年会是该领域最具声望和选择性的国际会议之一。本次会议的论文集是计算语言学中被引用最多的出版物之一，而该会议本身也是该领域北美研究人员举办的最重要的会议。该项目将资助被选中参加NAACL学生研究研讨会的学生的旅行、会议和住房费用，该研讨会将于6月1日NAACL主要会议期间举行。2018年6月6日，美国洛杉矶新奥尔良。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。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the primary international organization for computational linguistics and natural language processing, which in turn is one of the primary application areas for research in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The annual meeting of the North American chapter of the ACL (NAACL) is one of the most prestigious and selective international conferences in these fields. The proceedings of this meeting is among the most cited publications in computational linguistics, and the meeting itself is the most important meeting for North American researchers in the field on years when it is held. This project will subsidize travel, conference and housing expenses of students selected to participate in the NAACL Student Research Workshop, which will take place during the main NAACL conference June 1?6, 2018 in New Orleans, LA. 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.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
