Dear Corpora members,
this is a reminder of the call for the *"Emanuele Pianta" Award 2025*,
which recognizes outstanding Master's theses in Computational
Linguistics submitted at Italian universities.
To recognise excellence in student research as well as promote awareness
of our field and with the endorsement of the Italian Association of
Computational Linguistics (AILC), we are conferring the Emanuele Pianta
Award for the best Master’s Thesis (Laurea Magistrale) in Computational
Linguistics submitted at an Italian University. The prize consists of
€500.00 plus free membership to AILC for one year and free registration
to the upcoming CLiC-it 2025, where the author will have the chance to
present the thesis.
Master’s theses submitted to and defended at any University in Italy
within the yearly time frame specified in the call (see below) are
eligible for the prize. The thesis should address a topic in
computational linguistics or its applications, and may be written in
Italian or English. The sub-areas involved are those listed in the
yearly call for papers of the Italian Conference on Computational
Linguistics (CLiC-it).
The candidates’ works will be evaluated by a jury composed of three
members: one of the co-chairs of the previous CLiC-it conference, one
co-chair of the current CLiC-it conference (who agrees to serve for two
years, so as to ensure continuity), and a member of the board of AILC.
The jury will decide in consensus to which candidate the prize will be
awarded. The jury can also decide not to award a prize or to award the
prize to a maximum of two candidates. In the latter case, the money
prize will be shared.
Procedure
Master theses *defended between August 1st 2024 and July 31st 2025* are
eligible for the 2025 prize.
The supervisor of the thesis submits the thesis by *August 1st, 2025*
(11:59 pm CEST) with a motivation letter (1 page) that explains why the
thesis deserves the prize. Both the thesis and the motivation letter
should be submitted through the START platform using the following link:
https://softconf.com/p/clic-it2025.
The prize will be awarded by a member of the jury during CLiC-it 2025.
The thesis must be available on-line, and will be presented during
CLiC-it 2025 by the author.
