                            CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                    NAACL-Supported Two-Week Summer School
                       in Human Language Technologies

    The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational
    Linguistics (NAACL) is 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 June 30-July 11 at The Center for
    Language and Speech Processing (CLSP) at Johns Hopkins University in
    conjunction with the pre-workshop classes of the CLSP 2003 Summer
    Workshop on Language Engineering. Five to ten students will be
    selected to 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.

    In addition to providing summer school registration fees for all
    selected attendees, we also anticipate providing a limited number of
    scholarships to cover additional costs (in particular, travel expenses
    to the workshop venue and/or accommodation for the full duration). We
    hope to be able to cover the full cost of these two items for at least
    some students, and partial costs for others. If you are a graduate
    student, please ask your advisor to contribute to the funding.
    Preference for funding will be given to students attending North
    American institutions.=A0

    Students are expected to attend both weeks of the summer school.=A0

    APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS are available at http://www.naacl.org/, which
    also has information on applying for SCHOLARSHIP funds. =20

    The application deadline is May 1, 2003.
