This is funding to subsidize expenses of student participants in a special poster session the PIs are organizing as part of the 18th annual International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML'2001), which will be held June 28-July 1 in Williamstown, MA (the PIs are the Program Co-Chairs of the conference). This is the premier conference for machine learning research. The PIs' goals are to integrate students into their research sub-communities and to give them a forum to talk to the leading researchers in the field about their PhD research. To this end, a poster session will be organized on one of the first nights of the conference where each sponsored student will have a poster. To ensure sufficient traffic, the PIs will require each program committee member to sign up ahead of time on the Web to see at least 5 posters that evening, on the basis of the students' abstracts. The students will also get a one page abstract submission to the conference proceedings. The PIs feel this plan has benefits over the more traditional PhD workshops organized by other conferences, as detailed in the proposal. The PIs will choose among the applicants for the scholarships, on the basis of a submitted abstract and vita plus a letter of recommendation from the student's advisor. They expect to make 30-40 awards of approximately $500 apiece. The mentoring work will be distributed among the members of the program committee. The poster session will provide students with invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work at a critical time in their research. This is an inexpensive yet highly effective means of encouraging young and upcoming researchers in machine learning.

这是一笔资金，用于补贴参加PI组织的特别海报会议的学生的费用，该会议是第18届机器学习国际会议（ICML'2001）的一部分，该会议将于6月28日至7月1日在马萨诸塞州威廉斯敦举行（PI是会议的计划联合主席）。这是机器学习研究的首要会议。 PI的目标是将学生融入他们的研究子社区，并为他们提供一个论坛，与该领域的领先研究人员谈论他们的博士研究。 为此，海报会议将在会议的第一个晚上，每个赞助的学生将有一个海报之一组织。 为了确保足够的流量，PI将要求每个项目委员会成员提前在网上注册，以便在当晚根据学生的摘要看到至少5张海报。 学生还将获得一页的摘要提交给会议程序。 PI认为这个计划比其他会议组织的更传统的博士研讨会有好处，正如提案中所详细说明的那样。 PI将根据提交的摘要和简历以及学生顾问的推荐信，在奖学金申请人中进行选择。 他们预计将获得30-40个奖项，每个奖项约500美元。 指导工作将在项目委员会成员中分配。 海报会议将为学生提供宝贵的接触到外部的观点对他们的工作在他们的研究的关键时刻。 这是一种廉价但非常有效的方法，可以鼓励年轻和即将到来的机器学习研究人员。
