REU Site for Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该网站位于科罗拉多斯普林斯的科罗拉多大学，在三年的夏天接待8名学生进行为期10周的计算机视觉，人工智能，自然语言处理，信息检索，知识管理和相关主题的研究。该经验包括理论阅读和研究与实践环境相结合，以增加参与者的范围？项目领域的知识。学生上课是为了介绍主题，也是为了获得和深入了解选定的主题。他们还进行实践研究，并接触到道德问题。来自工业合作伙伴MITRE的研究人员也担任该项目的导师。这为学生提供了一个有趣的介绍，并在应用和学术研究的培训。智力优势：计算机视觉，人工智能，自然语言处理，信息检索，知识管理的研究领域是特别重要的应用研究和技术转移在我们这个时代的信息为基础的社会和工作场所。研究人员在各自的专业领域有着良好的业绩记录，并将他们的学术优势与有趣，及时和有用的跨学科项目联系起来，例如与语言学，生物识别学和生物信息学有关的项目。更广泛的影响：所选择的项目对学生有吸引力，因为它们显示了研究对我们时代实际问题的转移。这确保了参与这种体验的学生更有可能继续从事技术研究和开发。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This site at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs hosts 8 students for 10 weeks in the summers of three years to do research in the areas of computer vision, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, information retrieval, knowledge management, and related topics. The experience includes a combination of theoretical reading and research with a hands-on environment to increase the scope of participants? knowledge of the project areas. The students attend classes to be introduced to the topics and also to obtain and in-depth understanding of selected topics. They also perform hands-on research, and are exposed to ethical issues. Researchers from MITRE, an industrial partner, are also serving as mentors in this project. This provides the students with an interesting introduction to, and training in, both applied and academic research.Intellectual Merit: The research areas of computer vision, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, information retrieval, knowledge management are especially important to applied research and technology transfer in our age of information based society and workplaces. The researchers have strong track records in their areas of expertise, and have tied their scholarly strengths to interesting, timely, and useful interdisciplinary projects that connect to linguistics, biometrics, and bioinformatics, for example.Broader Impact: The projects that have been chosen are attractive to students in that they show the transfer of research to practical problems of our time. This assures that students who engage in this experience are more likely to continue to engage in technology research and development.
