Workshop: 1999 SIGART/AAAI Doctoral Consortium, Orlando, Florida

第四届AAAI博士联盟将作为研讨会于1999年7月18-19日在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的AAAI-99会议之前举行，它将为一群博士生提供一个独特的机会，让他们与一群知名的研究人员一起讨论和探索他们的研究兴趣和职业目标。该联盟的目标如下：*为与会者目前的研究提供一个相互反馈的环境，并为未来的研究方向提供指导*发展一个支持性的学者社区和合作研究的精神*支持新一代研究人员提供关于学术、研究、工业和非传统职业道路的信息和建议*通过与其他研究人员的互动和参与会议活动为会议目标做出贡献。博士联盟将与AAAI‘99会议之前的其他研讨会同时举行。预计它将吸引不同的学生参与者，他们反映了人工智能领域的广泛主题和方法论，他们已经确定了自己的论文方向，但仍有重要的研究要做。选择将基于提交包的清晰度和完整性、研究阶段、顾问信函和其他承诺证据，如发表的论文或技术报告。与会者的论文摘要将在AAAI-99会议论文集上发表。NSF资金将用于向学生参与者提供750美元的旅费报销。与会者还将获得免费的会议登记。研讨会的组委会成员包括：新墨西哥州立大学校长Janyce M.Wiebe；普渡大学Mary P.Harper；Dalhousie大学的Evangelos E.Milios；Just Research和卡内基梅隆大学的Vibhu O.Mittal；IBM T.J.Watson Research的Leora Morgenstein；以及AT&Amp；T Labs的Loren Terveen。小组成员将包括：圣托马斯大学的Bonnie Holte Bennett；康奈尔大学的Claire Cardie；阿尔伯塔大学的Russell Greiner，普渡大学的Mary P.Harper；Dalhousie大学的Evangelos E.Milios；德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的Raymond J.Mooney；IBM T.J.Watson Research的Leora Morgenstein；以及斯坦福大学的Nils J.Nilsson。

The 4th AAAI Doctoral Consortium, to be held as a workshop on July 18-19, 1999, immediately preceding the AAAI-99 conference in Orlando, Florida, will provide a unique opportunity for a group of PhD students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives together with a panel of established researchers. The consortium has the following objectives: * To provide a setting for mutual feedback on participants' current research, and guidance on future research directions * To develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research * To support a new generation of researchers with information and advice on academic, research, industrial, and non-traditional career paths * To contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and participation in conference events.The Doctoral Consortium will be held concurrently with other workshops preceding the AAAI'99 conference. It is expected that it will attract a diverse group of student participants who reflect a wide range of topic areas and methodologies within artificial intelligence, and who have settled on their thesis directions but who still have significant research left to do. Selection will be based on clarity and completeness of the submission packet, stage of research, advisor's letter, and other evidence of promise such as published papers or technical reports. Participants' thesis summaries will be published in the AAAI-99 conference proceedings. NSF funds will be used to provide student participants with a travel reimbursement of $750. Participants will also receive complimentary conference registration. The organizing committee for the workshop consists of: Janyce M. Wiebe, Chair, New Mexico State University; Mary P. Harper, Purdue University; Evangelos E. Milios, Dalhousie University; Vibhu O. Mittal, Just Research and Carnegie Mellon University; Leora Morgenstern, IBM T.J. Watson Research; and Loren Terveen, AT&T Labs. Panelists will include: Bonnie Holte Bennett , University of St. Thomas; Claire Cardie, Cornell University; Russell Greiner, University of Alberta, Mary P. Harper, Purdue University; Evangelos E. Milios, Dalhousie University; Raymond J. Mooney, University of Texas at Austin; Leora Morgenstern, IBM T.J. Watson Research; and Nils J. Nilsson, Stanford University.
