Here’s where you’ll come for information about the 2023 North American Computational Linguistics Open Competition.

Competition Date: January 26th, 2023

Registration Time: 8:00-9:00am on Jan. 26th

Exam Time: 9:00am-12:00pm on Jan. 26th

Location: On the UCSD Campus, in the Social Sciences Building.

Open Round

Information for Participants

This, along with everything else, will be updated as the event comes nearer:

All participating students must have registered at nacloweb.org, and we will accept registered students from any school.
All participants must arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the exam (8:45am at the latest).
We will provide a room and proctoring for participants, and all students must take the exam there, in person.
We will provide each registered student with a printed copy of the exam which we will scan after the test and submit to the NACLO folks.
Students who advance to the next round will be able to participate at UCSD for that round as well.

Coming to Campus

Students taking the Blue Line trolley should get off at the UC San Diego Main Campus stop, and proceed towards the Social Sciences Building (plan on a 15-20 minute walk).
Students being dropped off should be dropped off near the Social Sciences Building on Voigt or Pangea Drive
Students driving should attempt to park in a visitor space at the Pangea or Scholars or Hopkins Parking Structures. You will be expected to pay for your own parking, using a paystation of the ParkMobile app.
- If you’re attempting to park on campus, leave extra time for parking, as it’s very possible to spend 30-45 minutes looking for a spot.

Invitational Round

Information for Participants

We will also host the second, invitational round for students who qualified (please check the NACLO website to see if you’ve qualified) at UCSD. The qualifying round will also be held on the UCSD campus in the Applied Physics and Mathematics building where Linguistics is based, on March 16th, 2023 at 9am.

For information about the room location of the qualifying round, and any additional details, please email wstyler@ucsd.edu, the faculty site coordinator, and we’ll put you on the list of invitational round participants to keep up to date.
