NSF-Supported Summer Research for Undergraduates<br>
<br>
The Center for Language and Speech Processing at the Johns Hopkins<br>
University is seeking outstanding members of the current junior<br>
class for a summer research workshop on language engineering from<br>
June 27 to August 19, 2011.<br>
<br>
The 8-week workshop provides an intense intellectual environment.<br>
Undergraduates work closely alongside more senior researchers as<br>
part of a multi-university research team, which has been assembled<br>
for the summer to attack some problem of current interest. The<br>
teams and topics for summer 2011 are described here:<br>

<br>
We hope that this stimulating and selective experience will<br>
encourage students to pursue graduate study in human language<br>
technology, as it has been doing for many years.<br>
<br>
The summer workshop provides:<br>
<br>
* An opportunity to explore an exciting new area of research<br>
* A two-week tutorial on current speech and language technology<br>
* Mentoring by an experienced researcher<br>
* Participation in project planning activities<br>
* Use of a computing cluster and personal workstation<br>
* A $5,000 stipend and $2,520 towards per diem expenses<br>
* Private furnished accommodation for the duration of the workshop<br>
* Travel expenses to and from the workshop venue<br>
<br>
Initial applications should be received by MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2011,<br>
