Language Technologies Institute
Student Research Symposium 2006

Welcome

The LTI Student Research Symposium (SRS) is a one-day series of presentations designed both to increase awareness of the diverse aspects of language technologies research conducted by students within the LTI, as well as to introduce incoming LTI students to the work of current students.

Around ten presentations will be selected among abstracts submitted by current LTI students for presentation in the Symposium. One of the presentations will be selected for a "Best Presentation Award", which will be announced at the end of the Symposium. The winner of the "Best Presentation Award" will receive a cash prize of $500. Additionally, two Honorable Mentions will be selected, each receiving a cash prize of $100.

SRS presentations provide students with an opportunity to share their work with other LTI members, and learn about other student research in the LTI.

A presentation in the Symposium fulfills the yearly presentation requirement and the speaking requirement for LTI PhD and MS students.

In addition, the Symposium provides an excellent opportunity for second-year master's students who may be interested in applying to the PhD program to showcase their research abilities.
