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

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法案》(Public Law 111-5)资助的。该网站位于科罗拉多大学科罗拉多分校斯普林斯分校，为期10周，为期3年，每三年夏季招收8名学生，从事计算机视觉、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。该体验包括理论阅读和研究相结合的实践环境，以扩大参与者的范围？对项目区域的了解。学生参加课程是为了了解主题，也是为了获得和深入理解选定的主题。他们还进行亲身实践的研究，并面临道德问题。工业合作伙伴MITRE的研究人员也在这个项目中担任导师。这为学生提供了有趣的应用研究和学术研究的介绍和培训。智力价值：计算机视觉、人工智能、自然语言处理、信息检索、知识管理等研究领域在我们这个以信息为基础的社会和工作场所的时代对应用研究和技术转移特别重要。例如，研究人员在他们的专业领域有良好的记录，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在一起，这些项目与语言学、生物统计学和生物信息学有关。广泛的影响：所选择的项目对学生具有吸引力，因为它们展示了研究向我们时代的实际问题的转移。这确保了从事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.
