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 2-7, 2019 in Minneapolis, MN. 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. By sponsoring student travel, the workshop can reach a wider audience, broadening the horizons of the computational linguistics community and helping bring diversity to computer science research.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). Unlike typical workshops and conferences, student authors have the opportunity to receive explicit mentoring prior to submitting their work: they are put into contact with world-class researchers in the field who provide guidance and help the authors polish their submissions. The workshop is then a venue for students to receive constructive critical feedback on their work from experts outside of their institution; the early-stage work that students present here may later form the basis for full conference papers, journal articles, or dissertations. These features are particularly useful for students from underprivileged backgrounds or institutions where they might not have access to such strong mentoring resources. 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.

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，这反过来又是机器学习和人工智能研究的主要应用领域之一。 ACL北美分会（NAACL）的年度会议是这些领域最负盛名，最有选择性的国际会议之一。这次会议的会议记录是计算语言学中最引人注目的出版物之一，在举行的几年中，会议本身是该领域北美研究人员最重要的会议。该项目将补贴被选为参加NAACL学生研究研讨会的学生的旅行，会议和住房费用，该研讨会将在2019年6月2日至7日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的NAACL主要会议上举行。学生研究研讨会有助于创建新一代的研究人员，对自己的领域，包括机构之间的联系和协作以及创新且令人兴奋的研究计划，以更透彻的了解。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。该研讨会鼓励协作精神，并为新一代的计算语言学家建立了支持环境。通过赞助学生旅行，研讨会可以吸引更多的受众，扩大计算语言学界的视野，并帮助为计算机科学研究带来多样性。学生研究研讨会征求两类提交的内容：研究论文和研究建议。研究建议只能有一个必须是学生的作者。研究论文可以有多个作者，第一作者是一名学生（无论是在研究生还是本科生）。与典型的研讨会和会议不同，学生作者有机会在提交工作之前获得明确的指导：他们与该领域的世界一流的研究人员接触，这些研究人员提供指导，并帮助作者提交意见。当时，研讨会是学生从机构以外的专家那里收到有关其工作的建设性关键反馈的场所；在这里，学生们在这里的早期工作可能构成完整会议论文，期刊文章或论文的基础。这些功能对于来自贫困背景或机构的学生可能无法获得如此强大的指导资源特别有用。此外，研讨会由学生组织和举办。学生组织者获得了与主要会议组织委员会的研究人员的专业成长和互动的宝贵机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
