Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Internet Freedom

该研讨会汇集了自然语言处理（NLP）研究人员，他们的工作有助于互联网上信息的自由流动。它应该促进跨学科的合作，以及在学术或工业环境中工作的理论家和实践者之间的合作。本次研讨会将对社会产生变革性的影响，使信息获取和共享受到严格审查的国家更接近于实现互联网自由。本次研讨会感兴趣的主题包括审查检测、审查规避技术、受语言启发的互联网审查对策，以及跨通信平台实证衡量互联网审查的技术。研讨会包括在NLP，计算机科学和社会科学领域工作的研究人员。来自行业的研究生、教师和研究人员将参与其中。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并且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。

This workshop brings together natural language processing (NLP) researchers whose work contributes to the free flow of information on the Internet. It should foster collaboration across disciplines, and between theoreticians and practitioners working in academic or industrial settings. This workshop could have a transformative impact on society by getting closer to achieving Internet freedom in countries where accessing and sharing of information are strictly controlled by censorship.The topics of interest in this workshop include censorship detection, censorship circumventiontechniques, linguistically inspired countermeasures for Internet censorship, and techniques toempirically measure Internet censorship across communication platforms. The workshop includes researchers working in the field of NLP, computer science and social sciences. Graduate students, faculty, and researchers from industry will participate.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.
