Extended Visit to Asian Research Labs for Selected Students Attending ACL 2012 Student Research Workshop

该项目资助美国研究生对选定的从事语音和语言处理工作的亚洲研究小组进行研究访问。这些学生是从参加将于2012年7月8日至14日在韩国济州举行的计算语言学协会（ACL）年会的学生中挑选出来的。被选中的学生将与他们访问的接待小组的研究人员一起进行一个研究项目。该项目将为学生提供机会，让他们接触不同国家的文化和新的研究范式，拓宽他们的视野，帮助他们产生新的研究思路，帮助他们在全球市场上更具竞争力，发展成为未来全球需要的科学家。延长访问还有助于在亚洲东道主和学生在美国的家庭研究小组之间建立桥梁，这将促进美国和其他国家之间的长期合作，并推动整个世界的科学和技术。

The project funds extended research visits of U.S-based graduate students to selected Asian research groups working in speech and language processing. These students are selected from those attending the annual meeting of Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), which will be held in Jeju, Korea, July 8-14, 2012. The selected students will work on a research project with researchers in the hosting group they are visiting.This project will provide opportunities for students to be exposed to different culture and new research paradigm in other countries, broaden their horizon and help generate new research ideas, and help make them more competitive in the global market and develop into the scientists that are needed globally in the future. The extended visit also helps build bridges between the Asian hosts and the student's home research group in the U.S. This will facilitate long term collaboration between U.S. and other countries, and advance science and technology in the whole world.
