Students won first prize for research, wikipedia education and more!
Congratulations to students who presented their research at the School’s In-Between conference -Carmen Thom, Devika Tiwari, Danielle Cartagenes, Elise Hotchkiss, Christine Forde Gude, and Dr. Hallett’s LING 310 students rocked the house with their projects on Language and Discrimination.
Devika Tiwari, Elise Hotchkiss and Danielle Cartagenes also won First Place in Undergraduate Research for their paper “Red Herrings: Did you catch that? How Embedded Clues in Natural Language Serve to Confuse Computers”.
Dr. Jill Hallett also presented the work that she and her students did in LING 150 last fall where students added referenced information for endangered languages on Wikipedia. The work has yielded thousands of public views since then making the targeted languages more visible, more accurate in linguistic description and more connected with existing resources.
Congratulations!
