Support for the 2016 North American Summer School on Logic, Language, and Information (NASSLLI); July, 2016 - New Brunswick, New Jersey

北美逻辑、语言和信息暑期学校(NASSLLI)将于2016年7月8日至16日在新泽西州立大学新不伦瑞克分校的罗格斯举行。NASSLLI是一个两年一度的暑期课程，汇集了认知科学、计算机科学、语言学、哲学和相关领域的顶尖教师，目标是向研究生和高级本科生介绍这些学科的各种组合。暑期班的目的是加强对学生的培训，扩大他们对研究可能性的知识，并向他们介绍参与前瞻性跨学科研究的方法。NASSLLI 2016将在五个平行课程中提供各种为期一周的课程和研讨会，将与每个领域相关的基础问题、独特发现和创新方法融合在一起，突出它们之间的共性和区别。这些课程将涵盖语篇、认识论、语言和认知、逻辑、方法论、自然语言编程和语义学等一系列主题。课程还辅之以学生报告和研讨会。此外，学校在开设基础领域的小型强化迎新课程之前也会提供这类课程)。这些合并后的课程超越了学术机构通常提供的课程。暑期班还为学生提供展示自己研究成果的机会，并与相关领域的顶尖教职员工和研究人员互动。NASSLLI的这些方面使其成为培训核心认知科学领域的下一代研究人员的独特场所，为他们提供进行创新和开创性研究的必要工具，并在他们之间建立联系。资助将补偿讲师的旅费，并为研究生提供参加并介绍他们的工作的奖学金。

The North American Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (NASSLLI) will be held at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey-New Brunswick from July 8-16, 2016. NASSLLI is a biennial summer school that brings together top-tier faculty in Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosophy, and related areas, with the goal of introducing graduate students and advanced undergraduate students to topics that intersect various combinations of these disciplines. The aim of the summer school is to strengthen the training of the students, expand their knowledge of research possibilities, and introduce them to ways to engage in forward-looking interdisciplinary research.NASSLLI 2016 will feature a variety of weeklong courses and workshops in five parallel sessions, which fuse together the foundational questions, unique findings, and innovative methods associated with each of these fields, highlighting both the commonalities and distinctions among them. These courses will cover a range of topics in Discourse, Epistemology, Language and Cognition, Logic, Methodology, Natural Language Programming, and Semantics. Courses are complemented by student presentations and workshops. In addition, the school is preceded by mini intensive orientation courses in fundamental areas). These combined offerings expand beyond those typically offered at academic institutions. The summer school also provides students with the opportunity to present their own research and interact with leading faculty and researchers in related fields. These aspects of NASSLLI make it a unique venue for training the next generation of researchers in the core cognitive science areas, providing them with the requisite tools to conduct innovative and groundbreaking research, and creating connections among them. Funding will compensate instructors for travel expenses and provide fellowships for graduate students to attend and present their work.
