Young Investigators in the Americas Workshop

这次研讨会是在信息和智能系统局和国家科学基金会国际科学与工程办公室的慷慨支持下举行的。计算语言学(CL)和相关领域的研究在整个美洲都在进行。然而，来自这半个世界不同国家的调查人员之间的互动很少见。研讨会的目标是通过聚集来自美洲各地从事这些语言研究的年轻研究人员，提高人们对美洲语言计算方法最先进研究的认识。研讨会的计划和活动使与会者能够探索国际合作的可能性。此外，该研讨会还包括一个公开讨论环节，旨在提出促进美洲社区更具互动性的机制。该活动通过以下方式促进科学进步：(1)帮助参与者跨越国际边界扩展他们的合作网络，(2)通过提高对美洲不同国家所做研究的认识来促进研究想法的交叉授粉，以及(3)传播有关国际合作的资助机会的信息。

This workshop is made possible due to the generous support of the Information and Intelligent Systems Directorate and the Office of International Science and Engineering of the National Science Foundation.Research in Computational Linguistics (CL) and related fields is carried out in all of the Americas. However, interaction among investigators from the different countries in this half of the world is rare. The goal of the workshop is to increase awareness of the state-of-the-art research on computational approaches to languages of the Americas by bringing together young investigators from across the Americas doing research on these languages.The workshop program and activities allow the attendees to explore the possibilities for international collaborations. In addition, this workshop also includes an open discussion session for proposing mechanisms to promote a more interactive community in the Americas.This event contributes to the advancement of science by: (1) helping participants to extend their network of collaboration across international borders, and (2) promoting cross pollination of research ideas by raising awareness of the research done in different countries in the Americas, as well as (3) disseminating information on funding opportunities for international collaborations.
