US-Morocco Planning Visit: Human Language Technology Research and Education

0353201Monaco，描述：该项目是为了支持项目规划活动，涉及Gregory Monaco博士，研究主任，大平原网络联盟，堪萨斯大学，劳伦斯，堪萨斯州和Abdelhadi Soudi博士，语言，通信和计算机科学中心在Ecole Nationale de L'Industrie Mineral（ENIM）在拉巴特，摩洛哥。 他们计划与一些美国潜在的参与者会面，参与人类语言技术领域的跨学科研究和教育议程。 这项技术将应用于英语和阿拉伯语方言，也可能应用于土著语言。 Soudi最近在自然语言处理方面做了一些有趣的工作，并访问了美国和英国的实验室，在这些访问期间进行的项目取得了成功。 科学家们打算在本科和研究生教育中使用这些结果。 人类语言技术的进步当然会对人们在日常生活中使用计算机的方式产生更广泛的影响。 阿拉伯语处理方面早就应该取得进展。范围：该奖项将允许摩洛哥科学家访问美国P.I.和他来自不同背景的美国同事。 这些不同的背景对人类语言技术主题的计划研究可能是有用的。 Soudi博士和Monaco博士以前有过接触，并共同提交了一份会议文件。 他们计划按照本项目的设想，获得该地区其他个人的广泛参与和承诺，并通过面对面的会议敲定研究合作的细节。

0353201Monaco, Description: This project is for support of project planning activity involving Dr. Gregory Monaco, Director of Research, Great Plains Network Consortium, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas and Dr. Abdelhadi Soudi, the Center for Language, Communications and Computer Science at the Ecole Nationale de L'Industrie Mineral (ENIM) in Rabat, Morocco. They plan to meet with a number of U.S. potential participants in an interdisciplinary research and education agenda in the area of Human Language Technology. The technology will be applied to English and Arabic dialects, and possibly to indigenous languages as well. Soudi has done recent interesting work in natural language processing, and has visited laboratories in the United States and Britain, and the projects undertaken during those visits have been successful. The scientists intend to use the results in undergraduate and graduate education. Advances in human language technology would of course have broader impact on the way people use computers in everyday life. Advances in Arabic language processing are long overdue. Scope: This award will allow the Moroccan scientist to visit the U.S. P.I. and his U.S. colleagues, who come from a variety of backgrounds. These various backgrounds are potentially useful for the planned research on the subject of human language technology. Dr. Soudi and Dr. Monaco have had previous contacts, and have jointly submitted one conference paper. They plan to obtain widespread involvement and commitment of other individuals in this region as envisioned in this project and to iron out the details of the research collaboration through face-to-face meetings.
