This is a joint award with Dr. Vijayshanker at the University of Delaware. This team has proposed several major research tasks in natural language processing with special emphasis on several mathematical and computational aspects. The work clearly has a formal and mathematical character. The various computational structures and strategies the team has developed and will develop, need to be investigated mathematically because such investigations shed light on the descriptive and processing powers of these formalisms. These two aspects, i.e., the development of the structures and strategies, and their mathematical investigations, are very much interrelated. It is believed that natural language processing backed up by a formal framework, and mathematical investigations grounded in empirical studies are two very productive areas of research. The researcher will focus on interested in mathematical investigations only to the extent to which the results have important implications for natural language processing.

这是与特拉华大学 Vijayshanker 博士联合颁发的奖项。 该团队提出了自然语言处理方面的几项主要研究任务，特别强调几个数学和计算方面。 这项工作显然具有形式和数学特征。 团队已经开发和将要开发的各种计算结构和策略需要进行数学研究，因为此类研究揭示了这些形式主义的描述和处理能力。 这两个方面，即结构和策略的发展及其数学研究，是非常相互关联的。 人们认为，由形式框架支持的自然语言处理和基于实证研究的数学研究是两个非常富有成效的研究领域。 研究人员将只关注数学研究的兴趣，只要结果对自然语言处理有重要影响。
