WORKSHOP: Student Consortium at the 2014 ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces

这笔资金用于资助10名研究生(全部来自美国大学，正在攻读硕士或博士学位)参加将于2月24-27日在以色列海法举行的2014年国际智能用户界面会议(IUI 2014)，作为一个特别学生联盟(研讨会)的参与者，作为主要会议的演讲者，以及作为一般培训目的的会议参与者。由ACM赞助的一年一度的iUI会议代表了人们对下一代智能和交互用户界面日益增长的兴趣；它们是来自学术界和工业界的研究人员聚集在一起的主要论坛，他们工作在人机交互(HCI)和人工智能(AI)的交叉点上，交流互补的见解，并展示和讨论旨在使计算机化世界变得更加顺从的杰出研究和应用。与传统的人工智能不同，它的重点不是让计算机本身变得智能，而是让计算机和人之间的交互变得更智能。与传统的人机界面不同，它的重点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。为此，iUI不仅鼓励计算机科学的贡献，而且鼓励心理学、认知科学、计算机图形学、艺术等相关领域的贡献。iUI 2014将是该系列的第17次会议；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；以人为中心的界面；移动界面；多模式界面；笔式界面；口语和自然语言界面；对话界面；情感和社交界面；有形界面；协作多用户界面；自适应界面；基于传感器的界面；用户建模以及与新界面和设备的交互；其中包括：个性化和推荐系统的界面；基于计划的系统的界面；结合基于知识或基于代理的方法的界面；复杂任务的帮助界面；基于范例和演示的界面；信息的智能生成和呈现界面；智能创作系统；多模式虚拟人物和社交机器人的合成；游戏和娱乐的界面；基于学习的互动和健康信息学的界面；界面界面的实证研究和评价；以及设计智能用户界面的新方法。欲了解更多有关这次会议的信息，请访问http://iuiconf.org/.。IUI 2014学生联合会将在前两次此类活动成功的基础上再接再厉。该联盟的核心将是2月24日在会议之前举行的全天研讨会，其结构将通过20-30次关于他们的工作的演讲和从同行和资深研究人员小组的反馈，让学员接触到他们新的研究社区。集体午餐和晚餐将鼓励学生群体之间的社交互动，以及与导师的非正式个人互动。学生们的工作也将在主会议期间以海报形式展示，在那里他们将获得额外的经验，向该领域的其他人解释他们的工作。IUI会议组织者将支付视听服务、两次咖啡休息时间和学生会议期间容纳与会者的空间；NSF不要求为这些项目提供资金。Broader Impact：这笔资金将使可能因经济原因无法参加IUI会议的学生参加。它将加强受资助参与者的教育经验，使他们接触该领域的主要研究人员，并使他们在会议过程中接触到往往带来职业晋升机会的活跃讨论。会议本身的质量也将得到提高，这要归功于代表机构基础的扩大和与会者的多样性。IUI的丰富思想交流此前已被证明是未来研究的宝贵思想来源，并导致了合作努力；这笔资金将扩大合作机会，并为以前很少或没有派代表参加这次会议的项目提供智力刺激。组委会已承诺积极地从传统上在研究所社区中没有很好代表的学校招募学生参与者。鼓励妇女、少数民族学生、残疾人、退伍军人等参加。为了进一步确保多样性，任何一所学校都不会录取超过一名学生。

This is funding to provide financial support for 10 graduate students (all from U. S. universities and working towards either their Master's degree or a Doctorate) to attend the 2014 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2014), to be held February 24-27 in Haifa, Israel, as participants in a special Student Consortium (workshop), as presenters in the main conference, and as 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 2014 will be the 17th 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; and new approaches to designing intelligent user interfaces. More information about the conference is available online at http://iuiconf.org/. The IUI 2014 Student Consortium will build on the success of the previous two such events. The heart of the Consortium will be a full-day workshop on February 24, immediately preceding the conference, and will be structured to give student trainees exposure to their new research community by giving a 20-30 presentation on their work and receiving feedback from peers and a panel of senior researchers. Group lunch and dinner will encourage social interaction among the student cohort and informal personal interaction with the mentors. The students' work will also be featured during the main conference in a poster session, where they will gain additional experience explaining their work to others in the field. The IUI conference organizers will pay for audio-visual services, two coffee breaks, and space for accommodating attendees in the student session; no funds are requested for these items from NSF.Broader Impacts: This funding will enable attendance at the IUI 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. The organizing committee has undertaken to proactively recruit student participants from schools that have not traditionally been well represented in the IUI community. Women, minority students, the disabled, and veterans all will be encouraged to participate. To further assure diversity, no more than one student will be accepted from any given institution.
