This award is for funding to subsidize travel, conference, and housing expenses of students selected to participate in the ACL Student Research Workshop to be held during the joint ACL on July 21st to 26th, 2004 in Barcelona, Spain. The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the primary international organization in the field of natural language processing and language engineering. The Association's annual conference, which rotates among the Americas, Pacific-rim countries, and Europe/Africa, is the major international meeting in the field. Computational linguistics is a multidisciplinary field of increasing importance to science, commerce, and society. This workshop contributes to the professional development of young scientists who will lead this growing field in the coming decades.The workshop format allows students to present their research and receive feedback from a panel of established researchers in the field. It provides students with invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work at a critical time in their professional development through feedback from the panel and other student participants. Also, student participants will be able to see each other's presentations and feedback, which could lead to a general raising of standards and expectations, strengthening future student research. The ACL Student Workshop is an inexpensive yet highly effective means of encouraging young and upcoming computational linguists. The intimate format encourages the student participants to begin building a rapport with established researchers. The workshop should contribute to the maintenance and development of a skilled and diverse natural language processing workforce, helping to produce a pool of researchers with the scientific and engineering knowledge required for future applications of natural language processing. It should help to foster international scientific exchange, providing merit-based opportunities for future leaders of the field to attend a conference that might otherwise be less geographically diverse than is desirable for the field. In addition, by building a supportive environment for these students, it is more likely that down the road, they will lend a supporting hand to other students who follow.

该奖项是为了补贴被选为参加ACL学生研究研讨会的学生的旅行，会议和住房费用，该研讨会将于2004年7月21日至26日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行。 计算语言学协会（ACL）是自然语言处理和语言工程领域的主要国际组织。该协会的年度会议是该领域的主要国际会议。 计算语言学是对科学，商业和社会重要性越来越重要的多学科领域。该研讨会为年轻科学家的专业发展做出了贡献，这些科学家将在未来几十年中领导这一不断发展的领域。研讨会的格式使学生可以介绍他们的研究并从该领域既定研究人员小组中获得反馈。它通过小组和其他学生参与者的反馈来为学生提供在专业发展的关键时刻对他们工作的外界观点的宝贵接触。此外，学生参与者将能够看到彼此的演讲和反馈，这可能会导致标准和期望的总体提高，从而加强未来的学生研究。 ACL学生研讨会是一种廉价但高效的方法，可以鼓励年轻和即将到来的计算语言学家。亲密的格式鼓励学生参与者开始与知名研究人员建立融洽的关系。研讨会应为熟练和多样化的自然语言处理劳动力的维护和开发做出贡献，以帮助生产一群研究人员，并具有自然语言处理所需的科学和工程知识。它应该有助于促进国际科学交流，为该领域的未来领导人提供基于绩效的机会，参加否则地理位置上可能比该领域所需的会议少。此外，通过为这些学生建立支持性环境，他们更有可能在道路上，他们会向其他跟随的学生提供支持之手。
