NACLO stands for the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad. It is a contest for high-school (and younger) students to solve problems relating to linguistics and computational linguistics. No advanced knowledge of linguistics is required. Students may participate at their high school or at a nearby university site. University of Texas at Dallas will be a local site again in 2012. The open round of the contest will take place on February 2. Well-performing students will be invited to a second round to be held on March 13. The top students in the second round will have a chance to participate in the 10th International Linguistics Olympiad. More information about NACLO can be found at the official site.
You can find directions to University of Texas at Dallas here.
We will not be holding a problem session this year. However, the NACLO Club at Hockaday holds regular meetings to discuss NACLO problems. If you are interested in joining the club, please contact Rebecca Fang, the president of the club.
