Workshop: Student Research in Computational Linguistics, at the HLT/NAACL 2004 Conference

该奖项用于资助被选中参加HLT/NAACL学生研究研讨会的学生的旅费、会议费和住宿费。HLT/NAACL学生研究研讨会将于2004年5月2日与2004年5月2-7日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的第二届HLT/NAACL年度研讨会同时举行。计算语言学协会(ACL)是自然语言处理和语言工程领域的主要国际组织，在欧洲(EACL)和北美(NAACL)设有两个区域组织。从2003年开始，NAACL的年度会议与人类语言技术(HLT)会议一起，为展示与北美计算语言学相关的尖端研究和应用提供了一个单一的场所。研讨会形式允许学生展示他们的研究，并从该领域的知名研究人员小组那里获得反馈。它通过小组和其他学生参与者的反馈，为学生提供宝贵的机会，让他们在职业发展的关键时刻接触到外界对他们工作的看法。此外，学生参与者将能够看到彼此的陈述和反馈，这可能会导致标准和期望的普遍提高，加强未来的学生研究。学生工作坊是鼓励年轻和未来的计算语言学家的一种廉价而高效的手段。这种亲密的形式鼓励学生参与者开始与知名研究人员建立融洽的关系。讲习班应有助于维持和发展一支熟练和多样化的自然语言处理工作队伍，帮助培养一批具有自然语言处理未来应用所需的科学和工程知识的研究人员。它应有助于促进国际科学交流，为外地未来的领导人提供择优机会，以参加一次会议，否则这些会议的地理多样性可能会低于外地所希望的程度。此外，通过为这些学生建立一个支持的环境，他们更有可能在未来向其他跟随他们的学生伸出支持之手。计算语言学是一个对科学、商业和社会越来越重要的多学科领域。这一研讨会有助于青年科学家的专业发展，他们将在未来几十年领导这一不断增长的领域。

This award is to subsidize travel, conference, and housing expenses of students selected to participate in the HLT/NAACL Student Research Workshop to be held on May 2, 2004 in conjunction with the second annual HLT/NAACL, May 2-7, 2004 in Boston, MA. The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the primary international organization in the field of natural language processing and language engineering, with two regional organizations in Europe (EACL) and North America (NAACL). Starting in 2003, the annual conference of the NAACL has joined with the Human Language Technology (HLT) conference to provide a single venue for the presentation of cutting-edge research and applications related to computational linguistics in North America.The workshop format allows students to present their research and receive feedback from a panel of established researchers in the field. It provides students with invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work at a critical time in their professional development through feedback from the panel and other student participants. Also, student participants will be able to see each other's presentations and feedback, which could lead to a general raising of standards and expectations, strengthening future student research. The Student Workshop is an inexpensive yet highly effective means of encouraging young and upcoming computational linguists. The intimate format encourages the student participants to begin building a rapport with established researchers. The workshop should contribute to the maintenance and development of a skilled and diverse natural language processing workforce, helping to produce a pool of researchers with the scientific and engineering knowledge required for future applications of natural language processing. It should help to foster international scientific exchange, providing merit-based opportunities for future leaders of the field to attend a conference that might otherwise be less geographically diverse than is desirable for the field. In addition, by building a supportive environment for these students, it is more likely that down the road, they will lend a supporting hand to other students who follow.Computational linguistics is a multidisciplinary field of increasing importance to science, commerce, and society. This workshop contributes to the professional development of young scientists who will lead this growing field in the coming decades.
