The 2018 North American Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (NASSLLI) will be held at Carnegie Mellon University from June 23-June 29, 2018. This program has been providing outstanding interdisciplinary educational opportunities to graduate students and advanced undergraduates in logic, linguistics, computer science, cognitive science, and philosophy since it was launched as a biennial event in 2002. NASSLLI brings these disciplines together with the goal of producing excellence in the study of how minds and machines accomplish the tasks of representing, communicating, manipulating and reasoning with information. NASSLLI represents a community which recognizes that advances in modeling and analyzing the performance of these tasks, as well as automating them, requires the contributions of multiple inter-related disciplines.NASSLLI 2018 will feature a set of intensive introductory courses offered over the initial weekend of the summer school, followed by a variety of weeklong courses and workshops in five parallel sessions: Logic and Epistemology; Logic and Computation; Computational Linguistics; Semantics and Pragmatics; and Explorations. The weeklong courses will range from high level introductions to a topic to more specialized courses for students with appropriate background. These combined offerings expand beyond those typically offered at academic institutions, and offer students exposure to new topics and approaches. The teaching faculty are all accomplished researchers, coming from top institutions in the United States and overseas. Attendance at NASSLLI thus provides students with the opportunity of interacting with faculty doing work at the cutting edge of the fields represented at the school. The summer school also provides students with the opportunity to present their own work at daily poster sessions. All of these opportunities make NASSLLI a unique venue for training the next generation of researchers in the areas of logic, language and information, providing them with the requisite tools to conduct innovative and groundbreaking research, and creating connections among them. Funding will provide fellowships for selected graduate student participants to defray the costs of accommodation and travel.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.

2018年北美逻辑、语言和信息暑期学校（NASSLLI）将于2018年6月23日至6月29日在卡内基梅隆大学举行。该计划自2002年作为两年一度的活动推出以来，一直为逻辑学，语言学，计算机科学，认知科学和哲学的研究生和高级本科生提供优秀的跨学科教育机会。NASSLLI将这些学科结合在一起，目标是在研究思维和机器如何完成代表，交流，操纵和推理信息的任务方面取得卓越成就。NASSLLI代表了一个社区，该社区认识到建模和分析这些任务的性能以及自动化的进步需要多个相互关联的学科的贡献。NASSLLI 2018将在暑期学校的第一个周末提供一系列密集的入门课程，然后是五个平行会议的各种为期一周的课程和研讨会：逻辑和认识论;逻辑和计算;计算语言学;语义学和语用学;和探索。为期一周的课程将从高层次的介绍到一个主题，再到为具有适当背景的学生提供的更专业的课程。这些组合的产品扩展了学术机构通常提供的产品，并为学生提供新的主题和方法。教师都是有成就的研究人员，来自美国和海外的顶级机构。因此，在NASSLLI出席为学生提供了与教师互动的机会，在学校所代表的领域的前沿工作。暑期学校还为学生提供在每日海报会议上展示自己作品的机会。所有这些机会使NASSLLI成为培训逻辑，语言和信息领域下一代研究人员的独特场所，为他们提供进行创新和突破性研究所需的工具，并在他们之间建立联系。基金会将为选定的研究生参与者提供奖学金，以支付住宿和旅行费用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
