Workshop Proposal: Student Research Workshop at AMTA-2008

NSF为在夏威夷威基基举行的AMTA-2008会议上的学生研究研讨会提供部分资金支持。 美国机器翻译协会（AMTA）是美国和美洲大陆机器翻译领域的非营利专业组织。AMTA的主要使命是促进和促进机器翻译和相关翻译技术的研究人员、开发人员和用户之间的知识和信息交流。 为了促进下一代MT研究人员的专业成长，AMTA-2008将举办一个新的学生研究研讨会，作为会议研究计划的一个组成部分。 学生在各级学习（本科生，研究生和研究生）被邀请提交论文描述他们的研究工作。 NSF将为10名被选中在研讨会上展示其研究成果的学生提供旅行、会议和住宿费用的资助。AMTA-2008学生研究研讨会将极大地促进MT领域最聪明的年轻研究人员在职业生涯早期的专业成长。 该研讨会将有助于在机器翻译和自然语言计算处理领域培养熟练和多样化的劳动力。 机器翻译和其他语言处理应用正在成为全球信息时代的重要技术。 这些领域的实力对美国在21世纪全球经济中的竞争力至关重要。

NSF is providing partial financial support for a Student Research Workshop at the AMTA-2008 conference in Waikiki, Hawaii. The Association for MachineTranslation in the Americas (AMTA) is a non-profit professional organizationin the area of Machine Translation (MT) in the US and the American continent.The main mission of AMTA is to facilitate and promote the exchange ofknowledge and information between the communities of researchers, developersand users of Machine Translation and related translation technologies. In itseffort to foster the professional growth of the next generation of MTresearchers, AMTA-2008 is featuring a new Student Research Workshop, embeddedas an integral part of the research program at the conference. Students atall levels of study (undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate) are invited tosubmit papers describing their research work. NSF is providing funding tosubsidize travel, conference and accommodation expenses for up to 10 studentsthat have been selected to present their research work at the workshop.The AMTA-2008 Student Research Workshop will greatly facilitate professionalgrowth for the brightest young researchers in the field of MT, in the earlystages of their professional career. The workshop will contribute to theprofessional development of a skilled and diverse workforce in the area ofMachine Translation and computational processing of natural language. MT andother language processing applications are becoming vital technologies in theglobal information age. Strength in these areas is crucial to Americancompetitiveness in the global economy of the 21st century.
