Conference Support: North American Summer School in Logic, Language and Information at Indiana University

美国国家科学基金会支持将于2003年6月17日至21日在印第安纳大学举办的北美逻辑、语言和信息暑期学校（NASSLLI）。暑期学校设有12门课程。导师是来自美国和欧洲的杰出的初级和高级研究员。NASSLLI于2002年首次在斯坦福大学举行；一所姊妹学校，欧洲逻辑，语言和信息暑期学校（ESSLLI）每年举办一次。学校的整体领域是语言学、人工智能、认知科学和相关领域的一些技术更复杂的领域。同时，ESSLLI和NASSLLI学校教授应用领域的逻辑。简而言之，它们主要关注技术要求和广泛应用的前沿学科。NASSLLI的目标受众是研究生，最近的博士学位，以及相关领域的知名研究人员。有些课程是为初学者准备的，有些是为更专业的观众准备的。在大多数情况下，课程超出了标准主题。通常它们所涉及的主题只在少数机构教授。因此，暑期学校的经历对许多年轻人来说是形成性的。这将有助于NASSLLI成为计算语言学，形式语法和语义学，逻辑学以及计算机科学相关领域的杰出机构。NASSLLI 2003将吸引90-100名与会者。除了主课外，学校还针对大学社区的每个人开设了学生论文和夜间讲座。

The National Science Foundation supports the North American Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (NASSLLI), to be held at Indiana University, June 17-21, 2003. The summer school features 12 courses. The instructors are prominent junior and senior researchers from the US and Europe. NASSLLI was held for the first time at Stanford University in 2002; a sister school, the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI) is held annually. The overall areas of the school are some of the more technically sophisticated areas of linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and related fields. At the same time, the ESSLLI and NASSLLI schools teach applied areas of logic. In short, they are mainly concerned with cutting edge subjects that are both technically demanding and in a broad sense applied.The target audience for NASSLLI is graduate students, recent PhDs, and established researchers in the relevant fields. Some of the courses are for beginners, and others are for more specialized audiences. In most cases, the courses go beyond standard topics. Usually they concern topics that are only taught at a few institutions. So the summer school experience is formative for many young people. This will contribute to NASSLLI's becoming a prominent institution in the areas of computational linguistics, formal syntax and semantics, logic, and related areas of computer science. NASSLLI 2003 will attract 90-100 participants. In addition to the main courses, the school also features a session of student papers and evening lectures directed at everyone in the university community.
