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）是北美情感叙事的计算方面领域的第一次国际聚会，汇集了来自一长串贡献学科的参与者。研讨会的目的之一是吸引学生到一个新的和令人兴奋的多学科领域，在那里它仍然更容易吸引专家的注意力和指导。该补助金的目标是资助交通，注册费和学生的住房费用选择参加研讨会将举行，沿着与其他几个AAAI秋季研讨会，2012年11月2日至4日，在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿。研讨会要求从情感叙事和相关领域的计算方面的领导者和研究生以及对该主题感兴趣的本科生的海报演示的长论文和短论文。来自本科生的论文，通过本科生研究经验（REU）和高级研究机会计划（SROP）网络吸引，以及研究生的个人贡献将被仔细指导到海报或短文资格的水平。研讨会的多格式程序也将容纳特殊的学生会议，特别是有前途的，但没有完全开发的想法。AAAI FSS情感叙事的计算方面的研讨会为下一代多学科研究人员提供了一个宝贵的机会，在各种相关学科进入计算情感叙事研究社区。 预计研讨会将吸引代表性不足的人群，以及提供更好地理解情感叙事作为人类固有现象的计算系统的未来发展的好处。

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.
