The Third Northeast Student Colloquium on Artificial Intelligence

该奖项将帮助资助研究生参加将于2008年5月2日至4日在纽约伊萨卡的康奈尔大学举行的第三届东北人工智能学生座谈会(NESCAI)。这次会议将包括学生的口头和海报演示，以及高级人工智能研究人员的特邀演讲和教程。这次会议将主要由一个由博士生组成的项目委员会在资深教师的指导下举行。计划委员会将进行审查过程，以选择选定的项目进行口头和海报演示。除了研究生，会议还计划鼓励一些优秀的大四本科生参加，希望这将提高他们对研究的热情，从而增加他们继续研究生工作的可能性。该项目整合了研究和教育，并致力于扩大多样性。

This award will help to subsidize the participation of graduate students in the third Northeast Student Colloquium on Artificial Intelligence (NESCAI) to be held May 2-4, 2008 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. This conference is to include oral and poster presentations by students and invited talks and tutorials by senior AI researchers. The conference will be largely run by a program committee consisting of doctoral students under the guidance of senior faculty. The program committee will conduct a review process to select the projects chosen for oral and poster presentations. In addition to graduate students, the conference plans to encourage attendance by a few outstanding senior undergraduates in the hope that it will increase their enthusiasm for research and thus the likelihood that they will go on to graduate work. The project integrates research and education and commits to broadening diversity.
