Support for student participation in a 2012 AAAI Fall Series Symposium

美国人工智能协会（AAAI）秋季系列研讨会（FSS）是北美情感叙事计算领域的第一次国际聚会，汇集了来自一长列贡献学科的参与者。研讨会的目的之一是吸引学生进入一个新的、令人兴奋的多学科领域，在这个领域更容易吸引专家的关注和指导。这项资助的目的是补贴被选中参加研讨会的学生的旅费、注册费和住宿费。研讨会将于2012年11月2日至4日在阿灵顿举行，同时还有其他几次AAAI秋季研讨会。VA.研讨会要求在情感叙事和相关领域的计算方面的领导者，研究生以及对该主题感兴趣的本科生的海报展示发表长篇和短篇论文。通过本科生研究经验（REU）和高级研究机会计划（SROP）网络以及研究生个人贡献吸引的本科生论文将被仔细指导到海报或短文资格的水平。研讨会的多种形式的节目也将容纳特别的学生会议，特别是有前途的，但还没有完全发展的想法。关于情感叙事计算方面的AAAI FSS研讨会为各种相关学科的下一代多学科研究人员进入计算情感叙事研究社区提供了宝贵的机会。预计研讨会将吸引代表性不足的人群，并通过更好地理解情感叙事作为固有的人类现象，为计算系统的未来发展提供好处。

The American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Fall Series Symposium (FSS) is the first international gathering in North America in the field of computational aspects of affective narrative, bringing together participants from a long list of contributing disciplines. One of the aims of the Symposium is to attract students to a new and exciting multidisciplinary area, where it is still easier to attract the experts' attention and mentoring. The goal of this grant is to subsidize travel, registration fees, and housing expenses of students selected to participate in the Symposium which will be held, along with several other AAAI Fall Symposia, on November 2-4, 2012, in Arlington, VA. The Symposium calls for long and short papers both from leaders in the field of computational aspects of affective narrative and pertinent areas and from graduate students as well as poster presentations from the undergraduate students interested in the subject. Papers from undergraduates, attracted through Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and Senior Research Opportunity Program (SROP) networks as well as solo graduate contributions will be carefully mentored to the level of poster or short paper eligibility. The multi-format program of the Symposium will also accommodate special student sessions, especially for promising but not fully developed ideas. The AAAI FSS Symposium on computational aspects of affective narrative provides a valuable opportunity for the next generation of multidisciplinary researchers in a variety of pertinent disciplines to enter the computational affective narrative research community. It is expected that the Symposium will attract underrepresented populations as well as provide benefit to future development of computational systems from better understanding of affective narrative as the inherently human phenomenon.
