REU Site: Perceptual Science and Technology

这个REU网站每年夏天都会吸引八名本科生到罗格斯大学进行为期十周的感知科学和技术领域的研究实习。 该研究领域的中心是构建新的计算模型的挑战和机遇，系统可以使用这些模型来理解它们的环境并在其中智能地行动。该领域提供了一系列研究方法，包括设计算法，构建系统，收集和分析数据，以及在人类环境中理解智能。 研究项目涵盖的主题包括：物体，人脸，场景，深度和运动的感知和识别的计算方法;感知分类和感知决策;感知输入的数据挖掘和分析;搜索，注意力和视觉运动学习;人机交互中的视觉体验;以及计算描述和设计。 该网站致力于从代表性不足的人群中招募和支持实习生，并促进合作研究。 被录取的学生与教师导师密切合作，从起草项目计划到开展和展示他们的研究。 每个项目都包括一个途径，让两个或更多的实习生带来不同的结果，数据或方法来解决共同的问题。 该网站举办研究实践、研究伦理、协作技能和感知科学与技术职业的研讨会。 社会活动加强了社区意识。 该网站的综合性、协作性为实习生提供了一个更深层次的职业、主题和工作环境的范围，并允许他们在研究计划与个人目标、背景和兴趣之间进行微调。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助

This REU site brings eight undergraduate students to Rutgers eachsummer for a ten-week research internship in the area of perceptualscience and technology. This research area centers on the challengesand opportunities of building novel computational models that systemsmay use to understand their environment and act intelligently in it.The area affords a range of research methods, including designingalgorithms, building systems, gathering and analyzing data, andunderstanding intelligence in its human context. Research projectscover topics such as: computational approaches to the perception andrecognition of objects, faces, scenes, depth and motion; perceptualcategorization and perceptual decisions; data mining and statisticalanalysis of perceptual input; search, attention, and visuo-motorlearning; visual experiences in human-computer interaction; andcomputational depiction and design. The site strives to recruit andsupport interns from underrepresented populations and to fostercollaborative research. Accepted students work closely with a facultymentor from drafting a project plan through carrying out andpresenting their research. Each project includes a pathway for two ormore interns to bring different results, data, or methods to bear on ashared problem. The site holds workshops on research practice,research ethics, skills for collaboration, and careers in perceptualscience and technology. Social events reinforce the sense ofcommunity. The integrative, collaborative focus of the site offersinterns a deeper sense of range of the different careers, topics andwork environments available to them, and allows them to fine-tune amatch between their research plans and their personal goals,backgrounds, and interests. The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program
