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 2010. The open round of the contest will take place on February 4. Well-performing students will be invited to a second round to be held on March 10. The top students in the second round will have a chance to participate in the 8th International Linguistics Olympiad in Uppsala, Sweden. More information about NACLO can be found at the official site.
You can find directions to University of Texas at Dallas here. The actual testing location will be announced later this year.
We will be holding a problem session at University of Texas at Dallas before the open round. More information will be posted later.
