Description
The Doctoral Consortium at HLT/NAACL-2006 will provide an opportunity for
a group of senior Ph.D. students to discuss and explore their research and
career objectives with a panel of established researchers in the fields of
natural language processing, speech technology, and information retrieval.
The event is also an opportunity for students to gain exposure for their
work among the HLT/NAACL research community.
The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a workshop on June 4, 2006,
immediately before the start of the main conference. Students will present
their work and get feedback from a panel of experienced researchers. The
event will also include presentations on professional development topics
relevant to students pursuing a career in research.
Students will participate in a poster session held during the main
conference and will have a short paper discussing their research published
in the companion volume of the proceedings. Each student’s professional
biography, research abstract, and photograph will also be included in a
"face book" to be distributed to all attendees of the main
HLT/NAACL-2006 conference.
We would like to acknowledge the financial
support of the National Science Foundation and Microsoft Corp. which has
made it possible to provide travel support for the students participating in
the consortium.
