Symposium on Combinatorial Search - 2013

这笔赠款为参加年度组合搜索研讨会（SoCS）的选定学生提供旅费支持。学生参与 SoCS 鼓励年轻研究人员进行组合搜索研究。本次研讨会秉承了传统，将研究人员和学生聚集在一起，围绕模式数据库启发式、不一致启发式、实时搜索、物理机器人和计算机游戏代理的寻路、并行搜索和使用外部存储器的搜索等问题进行讨论。这些搜索技术在机器人、计算机游戏、规划和生物信息学等领域的更广泛的人工智能应用中占有重要地位。此外，SoCS 13 特别关注图搜索工程。

This grant provides travel support for selected students attending the annual Symposium on Combinatorial Search (SoCS). Student participation in SoCS encourages young investigators in their research in combinatorial search. This symposium carries on a tradition of bringing together researchers and students around issues of pattern-database heuristics, inconsistent heuristics, real-time search, path-finding for physical robots and computer-game agents, parallel search, and search using external memory. These search techniques have a significant place in broader AI application in areas such as robotics, computer games, planning, and bioinformatics. In addition, SoCS 13 includes a special focus on graph search engineering.
