  • NSF Supported Summer Internships for Undergraduates

    Posted on Feb 25, 2008.
    Last updated on Feb 25, 2008.

    Description:

    The Center for Language and Speech Processing at the Johns Hopkins University is seeking
    outstanding members of the current junior class to participate in a summer workshop on
    language engineering from June 23 to August 15, 2008. The eight-week workshop provides a
    stimulating intellectual environment and we hope it will encourage students to eventually
    pursue graduate study in the field of human language technologies.

    The summer workshop provides:
    * An opportunity to explore an exciting new area of research
    * A two-week tutorial on speech and language technology
    * Mentoring by an experienced researcher
    * Access to Google's computing infrastructure during the workshop
    * A $5,000 stipend and $2,520 towards per diem expenses
    * Private furnished accommodation for the duration of the workshop
    * Travel expenses to and from the workshop venue

    Application available online at http://www.clsp.jhu.edu/ws08/application/ . Applications
    must be received by Wednesday, March 5, 2008.

    Applicants are evaluated only on relevant skills, employment experience, past academic
    record, and the strength of letters of recommendation. No limitation is placed on the
    undergraduate major. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.

    Last updated on Jun 11, 2007.

    Description:

    The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
    (NAACL) is again offering an exciting summer school opportunity for a
    limited number of graduate and undergraduate students interested in the
    field of Human Language Technology.

    The summer school will be held from July 2 to July 13, 2007 at The Center
    for Language and Speech Processing (CLSP) at Johns Hopkins University in
    conjunction with the pre-workshop classes of the CLSP 2007 Summer Workshop
    on Language Engineering. Selected students will attend two weeks of lectures
    and hands-on laboratories that will include general introductions to the
    major areas of study within the field of Human Language Technology ( e.g.
    Natural Language Processing, Automatic Speech Recognition, Machine
    Translation, Information Retrieval) as well as sessions on specialized
    research topics of current interest in the field.

    The EXTENDED application deadline is June 15, 2007, at 5pm Pacific Time.

    Contact Information:

    For more information on the summer school and access to the application
    forms, please go to www.naacl.org/summer-school/2007/jhu2007.html
