Doctoral Consortium at Human Language Technology Conference - North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics Annual Meeting (HLT-NAACL) 2006

2006年6月4日，在纽约市举行的计算语言学协会(HLT-NAACL)2006年年会(HLT-NAACL)北美分会上，首次举行了人类语言技术会议-北美分会。该活动是为博士项目最后几年的博士生设计的(他们已经确定了研究方向，并且通常会提交论文提案)。参与者将提交一份包含其研究概述的申请，他们将根据该领域的学生和知名研究人员的审查过程进行选择。参与的学生将反映HLT/NAACL会议的各种研究领域(自然语言处理、语音处理和信息检索)，并反映在科学和工程领域代表性较低的群体中的学生的多样性。更广泛的影响：该活动将为一群资深博士生提供一个机会，让他们与一群知名研究人员讨论他们的研究和职业目标。这次活动也为学生提供了一个机会，让他们的工作在HLT/NAACL研究社区中获得曝光率(特别是来自论文委员会以外的专业人士)。学生还将参加专业发展会议，并在HLT/NAACL主要会议期间举行的海报会议上向更广泛的受众展示他们的工作。这次活动也主要是由学生组织和运营的--为所有参与的学生提供了宝贵的职业成长机会，并与主会议组委会的高级研究人员进行互动。

For the first time, a Doctoral Consortium is being held at the Human Language Technology conference - North American chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics annual meeting (HLT-NAACL) 2006 in New York City on June 4, 2006. The event is designed for Ph.D. students who are in the last few years of their doctoral program (who have settled on a research direction and have typically submitted a thesis proposal). Participants will submit an application containing an overview of their research, and they will be selected based on a review process involving both students and established researchers in the area. The participating students will reflect the variety of research areas of the HLT/NAACL conference (natural language processing, speech processing, and information retrieval) and reflect a diversity of students in groups underrepresented in science and engineering. Broader Impacts:The event will provide an opportunity for a group of senior Ph.D. students to discuss their research and career objectives with a panel of established researchers. The event is also an opportunity for students to gain exposure for their work among the HLT/NAACL research community (especially from professionals outside of their thesis committee). Students will also attend professional development sessions and present their work to a broader audience during a poster session held during the main HLT/NAACL conference. The event has also been primarily organized and run by students -- providing all the students involved with invaluable opportunities for professional growth and interaction with senior researchers on the organizing committee of the main conference.
