This is funding to provide financial support for 10 graduate students from universities in the United States (or who are U.S. citizens) to attend the 2012 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2012), to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, on February 15-17, 2012, as participants in the doctoral session, presenters in the main conference, and attendees at the conference for general training purposes. Sponsored by ACM, the annual IUI conferences represent the growing interest in next-generation intelligent and interactive user interfaces; they are the premier forum where researchers from academia and industry, who work at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), come together to exchange complementary insights and to present and discuss outstanding research and applications whose goal is to make the computerized world a more amenable place. Unlike traditional AI the focus is not so much on making the computer smart all by itself, but rather on making the interaction between computers and people smarter. Unlike traditional HCI, there is a focus on solutions that involve large amounts of knowledge and emerging technologies such as natural language understanding, brain computer interfaces, and gesture recognition. To this end, IUI encourages contributions not only from computer science but also from related fields such as psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, etc. IUI 2012 will be the 15th conference in the series; topics of interest this year include: Intelligent interactive interfaces, systems, and devices; Ubiquitous interfaces; Smart environments and tools; Human-centered interfaces; Mobile interfaces; Multimodal interfaces; Pen-based interfaces; Spoken and natural language interfaces; Conversational interfaces; Affective and social interfaces; Tangible interfaces; Collaborative multi-user interfaces; Adaptive interfaces; Sensor-based interfaces; User modeling and interaction with novel interfaces and devices; Interfaces for personalization and recommender systems; Interfaces for plan-based systems; Interfaces that incorporate knowledge- or agent-based approaches; Help interfaces for complex tasks; Example- and demonstration-based interfaces; Interfaces for intelligent generation and presentation of information; Intelligent authoring systems; Synthesis of multimodal virtual characters and social robots; Interfaces for games and entertainment; for learning-based interactions and for health informatics; Empirical studies and evaluations of IUI interfaces; New approaches to designing Intelligent User Interfaces. More information about the conference is available at http://iuiconf.org/. This year IUI is organizing a student Doctoral Consortium (workshop) for the first time to expand student attendance and training in this area (see: http://iuiconf.org/doctoral_consortium.html). The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a day-long event on February 14, 2012, immediately preceding the conference, and is designed to give students exposure to their research community, including an opportunity to present their work to and receive constructive feedback from their peers as well as senior scientist mentors in the field. The students' work will also be featured during the main conference in the poster session, where they will gain additional experience explaining their work to others in the field. It is essential that our current generation of students receive good quality training in intelligent interactive interfaces, since such interfaces will be key components of future interactive systems in a variety of domains; therefore, the doctoral consortium is designed to encourage Ph.D. students to start building a professional support network of peers and mentors. The organizing committee has undertaken to proactively recruit student participants from schools that have not traditionally been well represented in the IUI community. Priority will be given to funding students representing different institutions (no more than 2 from any given institution); women, minority students, the disabled, and veterans all will be encouraged to participate.Broader Impacts: This funding will enable attendance at this conference by students who might otherwise be unable to do so for financial reasons. It will enhance the educational experience of funded participants, by bringing them into contact with leading researchers in the field and by exposing them to the lively discussion during the course of the conference that often leads to opportunities for career advancement. The quality of the conference itself will be enhanced as well, thanks to a broadening of the base of institutions represented and increased diversity of participants. The rich exchange of ideas at IUI has previously proven to be a valuable source of ideas for future research, as well as leading to collaborative efforts; this funding will extend the opportunities for collaboration and provide intellectual stimulus to programs that have previously sent few or no representatives to this conference.

这是为美国大学的10名研究生提供经济支持的资金（或美国公民）参加2012年智能用户界面国际会议（IUI 2012），将于2012年2月15日至17日在葡萄牙里斯本举行，作为博士会议的参与者，主会议的主持人，和与会者在会议上一般培训的目的。 由ACM主办的IUI年会代表了人们对下一代智能和交互式用户界面的兴趣日益增长;他们是首要的论坛，来自学术界和工业界的研究人员，谁在人机交互（HCI）和人工智能（AI）的交叉工作，走到一起，交流互补的见解，并提出和讨论杰出的研究和应用，其目标是使计算机化的世界变得更容易接受。 与传统人工智能不同，它的重点不是让计算机本身变得更智能，而是让计算机和人之间的交互变得更智能。 与传统的人机交互不同，它关注的是涉及大量知识和新兴技术的解决方案，如自然语言理解、脑机接口和手势识别。 IUI 2012将是该系列的第15届会议;今年感兴趣的主题包括：智能交互界面、系统和设备;无处不在的界面;智能环境和工具;以人为本的界面;移动的界面;智能交互多模态界面;笔式界面;口语和自然语言界面;会话界面;情感和社交界面; Tennis界面;协作多用户界面;自适应界面;基于传感器的界面;用户建模和与新界面和设备的交互;个性化和推荐系统的界面;基于计划的系统的界面;包含基于知识或代理的方法的界面;复杂任务的帮助界面;基于示例和演示的界面;智能生成和呈现信息的界面;智能创作系统;多模式虚拟角色和社交机器人的合成;游戏和娱乐界面;用于基于学习的交互和健康信息学; IUI界面的实证研究和评估;设计智能用户界面的新方法。有关会议的更多信息，请访问http://iuiconf.org/。今年，国际法学会首次组织了一个学生博士联合会（讲习班），以扩大这一领域的学生出勤率和培训（见http：//iuiconf.org/doctoral_consortium.html）。博士生联盟将于2012年2月14日举行为期一天的活动，会议之前，旨在让学生接触他们的研究社区，包括有机会向同行以及该领域的资深科学家导师展示他们的工作并获得建设性的反馈。 学生们的作品还将在主会议的海报会议上展示，他们将获得向该领域其他人解释他们的作品的额外经验。 这是至关重要的，我们目前这一代的学生接受高质量的培训，在智能交互界面，因为这样的接口将是未来的交互系统在各个领域的关键组成部分;因此，博士联盟的目的是鼓励博士。学生开始建立一个专业的同伴和导师支持网络。 组织委员会已承诺积极从传统上在IUI社区中没有很好代表的学校招募学生参与者。 将优先资助代表不同机构的学生（任何机构不超过2名）;鼓励妇女、少数民族学生、残疾人和退伍军人参加。更广泛的影响：这笔资金将使那些因经济原因无法参加会议的学生能够参加会议。 它将加强受资助的参与者的教育经验，使他们与该领域的主要研究人员接触，并使他们在会议期间参加热烈的讨论，这往往会带来职业发展的机会。 由于与会机构基础的扩大和与会者的多样化，会议本身的质量也将得到提高。 IUI丰富的思想交流已被证明是未来研究的宝贵思想来源，并导致合作努力;这笔资金将扩大合作的机会，并为以前很少或根本没有代表参加这次会议的计划提供智力刺激。
