Student Support at the North American Association for Computational Linguistics Workshop on Computational Methods for Analysis of Narrative

CLfL 2015研讨会的主要目标是通过汇集研究叙事计算方法的研究人员，加强自然语言处理（NLP）领域的研究。叙事性数据与技术性更强的说明性文本的差异很大，因此NLP方法可能无法直接应用。对叙事的分析提出了新的、有趣的问题。读者将文本视为一种创造性的表达形式，他们期望的不仅仅是典型的信息搜索工具。例如，一个人可能对阅读推荐，分析某个时期或子类型的叙事或寻找某些叙事手段的例子感兴趣。该研讨会与2015年全国有色人种协进会在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的会议同时举行。该奖项为积极参加研讨会的学生提供旅费和住宿费补贴。这些旅行补助支持地理和其他少数群体，使他们有机会交流思想，接触该领域的关键人物，并从资深参与者那里获得宝贵的反馈。本工作坊致力于维持和发展一个以北美为中心的叙事计算语言学研究团体。该研讨会通过将计算机科学和人文学科的人聚集在一起，加强了对个人的研究，准时地在叙述的计算方法的不同方面做出努力。它还促进了跨学科的理论家和在学术或工业环境中工作的实践者之间的合作。

The main goal of the CLfL 2015 workshop is to strengthen research in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) by bringing together researchers working on computational approaches to narrative. Narrative data differ from texts in more technical expository genres strongly enough that NLP methods might not be directly applicable. The analysis of narrative poses new, interesting problems. The readers treat texts as a form of creative expression, and they expect more than the typical information-seeking tools. For example, a person may be interested in reading recommendations, analyzing narrative of a certain period or sub-genre or finding examples of certain narrative devices. The workshop is held in conjunction with NAACL 2015 conference, in Denver, Colorado. This award subsidizes travel and accommodation expenses for students actively participating in the workshop. These travel grants support geographic and other minorities by giving them an opportunity to exchange ideas, get into contact with key persons in the field, and gain invaluable feedback from the senior participants.This workshop contributes to the maintenance and development of a research community in computational linguistics for narrative, with a geographical focus on North America. The workshop strengthens research in individual, punctual efforts on different aspects of computational approaches to narrative by bringing together people from both computer science and humanities. It also fosters collaboration between theoreticians and practitioners working in academic or industrial settings, across disciplines.
