Student travel support to the Fourth Universal Dependencies Workshop (2020)

这个学生旅行支助项目的目标是通过支持学生参加第四届“普遍依赖”讲习班，提高讲习班的多样性。研讨会将与第28届国际计算语言学会议同时举行，该会议是世界上最大的计算语言学会议之一。通过在这样的背景下参加研讨会，学生们提供了一个绝佳的机会来建立网络和建立跨机构的联系。他们也通过展示自己的作品获得曝光率。这种经验对来自规模较小的科研机构的研究人员尤其有价值，因为他们的旅行经费较少。通用依赖是一个用于人类语言形态句法注释的框架，迄今为止已经用于创建90种语言的树库。该框架非常适合作为对不同类型语言的跨语言一致注释的基础，以支持自然语言处理计算机应用以及更广泛的语言研究。研讨会的目标之一是涵盖更多低资源语言，从而扩展Universal Dependencies语料库中表示的语言。这个项目旨在吸引正在研究这些语言的学生，他们的工作将使通用依赖社区受益。研讨会鼓励合作研究的精神，并为对该领域的广泛，跨语言视角感兴趣的计算和非计算语言学家建立一个支持性的环境。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 goal of this student travel support project is to enhance the diversity of the fourth Universal Dependencies workshop by supporting students to participate in it. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Computational Linguistics, one of the largest computational linguistics conferences worldwide. By participating in the workshop in such a context, the students are offered an excellent opportunity for networking and building connections across institutions. They are also gaining exposure by presenting their work. Such experience is particularly valuable for researchers from smaller institutions, with less funding available for travel.Universal Dependencies is a framework for morphosyntactic annotation of human language, which to date has been used to create treebanks for 90 languages. The framework is well suited as the basis for cross-linguistically consistent annotation of typologically diverse languages in a way that supports natural language processing computer applications as well as broader linguistic studies. One of the goals of the workshop is to cover more low-resource languages, thereby expanding the languages represented in the Universal Dependencies corpora. This project aims at attracting students who are working on such languages and whose work would benefit the Universal Dependencies community. The workshop encourages a spirit of collaborative research and builds a supportive environment for computational and non-computational linguists interested in a broad, cross-lingual perspective on the field.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.
