REU Site: Undergraduate Research Experience in Multimedia Data Analytics

休斯顿大学（UH）计算机科学系的REU网站向本科生介绍了计算数据分析，这是一个越来越重要的国家领域。学生的研究项目包括生物信息学，人脸识别，计算机视觉，计算生理学，计算细胞计数和金融数据的信息提取。在该计划的三年中，每年都会选出十名学生。招生计划积极鼓励学生从提供有限的研究机会的学院和大学，如历史上的黑人学院和大学。重点是吸引女生和代表性不足的少数民族。休斯顿大学是一所综合性研究型大学，是一所西班牙裔服务机构（HSI），也是全国种族最多样化的大学之一。REU网站计划致力于吸引非传统的学生进入研究，加强他们对计算机科学的兴趣，保留这些学生在他们的学术课程，并为他们准备研究生院。 在REU网站程序进行的研究结果将通过学科适当的出版物传播。REU网站计划有四个主要目标：（1）学生将发展在科学研究，演讲和写作技巧的能力。(2)参与者将在他们的夏季计划产生有意义的研究成果。这些结果将以适当会议或期刊可接受的格式撰写。(3)参与者将通过持续的联系和研究参与，以及对他们的研究进行演讲，在校园夏季之后保持并增加他们对研究职业的兴趣。(4)参加者将学习介绍和传播他们的研究成果。旨在实现主要目标的活动与学生群体活动相结合，包括对尖端研究实验室的实地访问，职业发展研讨会，计算机科学的伦理学，文献检索方法以及与研究生院有关的问题的实用建议。我们的目标是超越学生在REU网站上度过的10周产生持久的影响。该计划的成功将通过学生和教师的问卷调查，并由教育教授不断进行评估，并将使用此反馈来改善该计划的运作。该计划维护一个网站（http：//www.cs.uh.edu/reu/），支持申请和评估流程，并向未来、当前和过去的参与者通报有关截止日期和决策、事件以及参与人员的成就。

The REU site in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Houston (UH) introduces undergraduate students to Computational Data Analytics, an area of increasing national importance. Student research projects include Bioinformatics, Face Recognition, Computer Vision, Computational Physiology, Computational Cytometry, and Information Extraction for Financial Data. Ten students are selected in each of the three years of the program. The student recruitment plan actively encourages students from colleges and universities that offer limited research opportunities, such as historically black colleges and universities. Emphasis is on attracting female students and underrepresented minorities. The University of Houston is a comprehensive research university, a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), and one of the most ethnically diverse in the nation. The REU Site program strives to attract non-traditional students into research, reinforce their interest in computer science, retain these students in their academic programs, and prepare them for graduate school. Results of the research conducted at the REU Site program will be disseminated through discipline-appropriate publications. The REU Site program has four main objectives:(1) Students will develop competency in scientific research, presentation, and writing skills.(2) Participants will produce meaningful research results during their summer program. These results will be written up in a format that is acceptable for publication in an appropriate conference or journal.(3) Participants will sustain and increase their interest in research careers after their on-campus summer through continuing contacts and research participation, and delivery of a presentation on their research.(4) Participants will learn to present and disseminate their research results.The activities aimed at achieving the main objectives are integrated with student cohort activities, including site visits to cutting-edge research laboratories, seminars on career development, ethics in computer science, methods of literature search, and practical advice on questions related to graduate school. The goal is to make a lasting impact beyond the 10 weeks the students spend at the REU Site. The success of the program will be continuously evaluated through student and faculty questionnaires, and by an education professor, and this feedback will be used to improve the program in operation. The program maintains a website(http://www.cs.uh.edu/reu/) that supports the application and evaluation process and informs future, current, and past participants about deadlines and decisions, events, and achievements of the people involved in it.
