2008 SIGART/AAAI Doctoral Consortium

该奖项支持美国大学的博士生参加第12届SIGART/AAAI博士联盟，该联盟将于2008年7月13日至14日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行，同时第23届全国人工智能会议将于2008年7月13日至17日举行。博士联盟的目标是：(1)提供对参与者当前研究的反馈和对未来研究方向的指导；(2)发展一个支持性的学者社区和合作研究的精神；以及(3)支持新一代研究人员。博士联盟的组织者努力招收和包括来自代表性不足的群体(例如，女性和代表性不足的少数民族)的学生，以及规模较小的学校和人工智能方面课程较少的学校。每位学生先做25分钟的报告，然后进行20分钟的讨论，并与教师导师进行一对一的会谈。还将有机会在学术和其他职业道路上讨论职业问题。关于该财团的一篇报道将发表在AI杂志上。

This award supports participation of doctoral students from U.S. universities in the 12th SIGART/AAAI Doctoral Consortium to be held July 13-14, 2008 in Chicago, IL in conjunction with the 23rd National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, July 13-17, 2008. The Doctoral Consortium aims to: (1) provide a setting for feedback on participants' current research and guidance on future research directions; (2) develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research; and (3) support a new generation of researchers. The Doctoral Consortium organizers strive to recruit and include students from underrepresented groups (e.g., women and underrepresented minorities) and smaller schools and schools with less established programs in artificial intelligence. Each student gives a 25-minute presentation to be followed by 20 minutes of discussion; there are one-on-one meeting with a faculty mentor. There will also be opportunities to discuss career issues in both academic and other career pathways. A report on the Consortium will be published in the AI Magazine.
