Face and Gesture 2011 Conference Doctoral Consortium

由该项目资助的博士生联盟是一个为期三天的活动，将与IEEE自动人脸和手势识别国际会议于2011年3月21日至23日在圣巴巴拉，加州举行。与会者包括即将完成论文的研究生，他们已被该联盟接受。每一个最近的博士研究生或即将毕业的研究生被选中参加联合会，并与一名高级研究员配对，在会议期间担任他/她的导师。每个与会者还介绍了他/她的研究在一个博士联盟午餐会上向与会者和导师开放，并介绍了他/她的研究在海报会议上向所有与会者开放。与会者还有差旅预算，用于支付参加会议和联合会的全部或部分费用。该联盟为有才华的年轻研究人员提供了与同行和高级研究人员正式和非正式讨论其工作的机会。这些与来自不同研究实验室的不同观点的其他人的互动通常会加强年轻研究人员沟通自己工作价值的能力，并将他们的工作更清楚地置于整个研究领域的更广泛背景下。

The Doctoral Consortium funded by this project is a three-day event to be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition to be held on March 21-23, 2011, in Santa Barbara, California. Attendees include graduate students nearing completion of their dissertations who have been accepted to the consortium. Each recent Ph.D. graduate or soon to be graduate chosen to participate in the consortium is paired with a senior researcher who serves as his/her mentor during the conference. Each participant also presents his/her research at a doctoral Consortium luncheon open to participants and mentors and also presents his/her research in a poster session open to all attendees of the conference. Participants also have a travel budget to defray all or part of their expenses incurred in attending the conference and consortium. The consortium provides talented young researchers the opportunity to discuss their work formally and informally with both their peers and senior researchers. These interactions with others coming from different research labs with different viewpoints typically strengthen the ability of young researchers to communicate the value of their own work and to set their work more clearly in the broader context of the research field as a whole.
