Third Annual North American School of Information Theory

为2010年北美信息理论学院的研究生和研究生提供支持。2010年的学校建立在2008年在宾夕法尼亚州立大学和2009年在西北大学举办的第一届和第二届信息理论年度学校的成功基础上。2008年的活动有101名学生和13名老年人参加；在2009年的活动中，我们有141名学生和21名老年人参加。2010年学校收到了来自62所院校的233份申请，比2009年增加了40%，比2008年增加了一倍。学校的主要动机是提供一个场所，让博士和博士后学生可以见面讨论研究，建立友谊和合作，并学习如何积极和社会地参与科学研究。学生们在友好的环境中展示自己和他们的成果，与知名的资深科学家互动，交流思想。

Support for graduate and post-graduate student attendence of the 2010 North American School of Information Theory is provided. The 2010 school builds on the success of the First and Second Annual Schools of Information Theory held in 2008 at Penn State University and 2009 at Northwestern University. At the 2008 event, 101 students and 13 senior attendees participated; at the 2009 event, we had 141 students and 21 senior attendees participated. For the year 2010 school, 233 applications from 62 institutions were received, which represents a 40% growth in student participants over 2009 and a doubling over 2008. The main motivation for the school is to provide a venue where doctoral and post-doctoral students can meet to discuss research, form friendships and collaborations, and learn how to actively and socially participate in scientific research. The students present themselves and their results in a friendly environment, interact with well-known senior scientists, and exchange ideas.
