trocheeAs mentioned before in this journal, I've been to JHU's summer school for computational linguistics before (summer of 2003), and I had a chance (that didn't pan out) to go to the workshops last summer.
This week I've just been volunteered by my advisor to be one of the students on a project to work on parsing conversational speech (longtime readers will recognize that this is the subject of my master's thesis work!). The proposal is being headed by a certain bigshot in the NSF, so there's a reasonable chance it'll be accepted.
Unlike last year's proposal, this year if the proposal is accepted, there's a near 100% guarantee that I'll be able to participate. Baltimore isn't my favorite place in the world to spend summer 2005, but it would be really good to have the experience and networking opportunities that it will provide.
