2008 SIGART/AAAI Doctoral Consortium

该奖项支持来自美国大学的博士生参加将于2008年7月13日至14日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的第12届SIGART/AAAI博士联盟，同时参加2008年7月13日至17日举行的第23届全国人工智能会议。博士联合会的目标是：（1）为参与者当前的研究提供反馈，并为未来的研究方向提供指导;（2）发展一个支持性的学者社区和合作研究的精神;（3）支持新一代的研究人员。博士联盟组织者努力招募和包括来自代表性不足的群体的学生（例如，妇女和代表性不足的少数民族）和规模较小的学校以及人工智能项目较少的学校。每个学生给出了25分钟的演讲，然后是20分钟的讨论;有一个与教师导师一对一的会议。也将有机会讨论学术和其他职业途径的职业问题。关于该联盟的报告将发表在《人工智能杂志》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.
