Call for Presentations
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH
Best Presentation Award: $500
Two Honorable Mentions: $100
The LTI Student Research Symposium is a one-day series of presentations by LTI
students on any research topic currently pursued at the LTI. The Symposium will
be held near the last week of Immigration Courses (IC), and will provide
students with the opportunity to showcase their work to current LTI members as
well as incoming LTI students. PhD and Master's students are invited to submit
abstracts on original language technologies work conducted at the LTI. Among
the submissions, around ten abstracts will be selected for presentation.
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.
The presentation slides will be kept publicly available online on the Symposium
website. Presenters are encouraged to link additional papers or publications
related to their topic of presentation.
Requirements
Presentations should focus on the research of LTI students. While it is
acceptable to situate that research within a framework provided by the work of
others, the main topic of each presentation should be the student's own
research. Both completed and ongoing research efforts are welcomed, including
work at early stages.
Because the target audience of SRS presentations will be the entire LTI research
community, submissions should avoid focusing too deeply on specific details of a
particular area. Introductory and background information that helps the
audience understand the research problem being discussed is both appropriate and
encouraged, but the main portion of presentations should be dedicated to novel
research.
Presentation Format
Each presentation slot will be 30 minutes long, with 20 minutes for the
presentation itself and 10 minutes for questions.
A presentation in the Symposium fulfills the yearly presentation requirement and
the speaking requirement for LTI PhD students.
Submission Format
Submissions for the LTI SRS will be in the form of short abstracts. We strongly
recommend the abstracts to be less than 400 words long, not including
references. Only PostScript, PDF, MS-Word and plain text submissions will be
accepted. There are no requirements regarding the specific format of abstracts.
Submission Procedure
Abstracts should be sent by email to Andy Schlaikjer by Tuesday September
19th, 2006.
