| "text": "Many of us in this field face the daily challenge of trying to teach computer scientists, linguists and/or psychologists together. Following the success of the two previous ACL workshops (2002 and 2005 , http://www.eecs.umich.edu/ \u223c radev/TeachingNLP) on this theme, we held this 2-day workshop associated with ACL-HLT 2008 to carefully examine the advantages and disadvantages of an interdisciplinary approach, and to explore techniques specifically aimed at teaching programming to social scientists and linguistics to computer scientists. As computational linguistics (hopefully) becomes of more and more relevance to industrial applications, we must ensure that our students (both undergraduate and graduate) are given adequate preparation for functioning in a practical industrial environment as well as an academic research environment. We need to exchange views on appropriate curriculum for both undergraduate students and graduate students, and linguists, psychologists and computer scientists. There are many questions to be addressed about the necessary background for linguists, psychologists and computer scientists before they can communicate effectively with each other and learn at the same pace.", |
