This project will support travel grants to students from the US to attend the Doctoral Consortium of the 2014 Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) conference to be held in Vienna, Austria. The field of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning is important to build intelligent computer systems and in recent years it has been highlighted with respect to initiatives and successes such as the Semantic Web and the Watson system. However, with respect to some measures (such as percentage of papers submitted), the USA has fallen behind other countries, in this field. Recognizing this and the importance of KRR, a Workshop on Research Challenges and Opportunities in Knowledge Representation was organized by NSF in February 2013. The KRR conference series, established in 1989, is the premiere conference in this field. This award will enable US students to meet and interact with the top researchers in the field of KRR. This will have a long term impact on developing qualified researchers in the USA in this field and this will have further impact on both the academia and industries in the USA.This award will address a bottleneck in student education in the field of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR). The PIs are among the main drivers of the conference series. They are established researchers with high visibility and proven track record of successful student mentoring. The KRR conference is a premier event attended by prominent researchers in the area. This award will help the students supported by the award to be better researchers in the field of KRR. This field is not only important to building Intelligent Systems, but has implications in many related areas such as: Event recognition in video analysis, Question answering, Machine reading, and Analysis of big mechanisms.

该项目将为参加2014年在奥地利维也纳举行的知识表示与推理原理（KRR）会议的美国学生提供旅行资助。知识表示和推理领域对于构建智能计算机系统非常重要，近年来，由于语义网和沃森系统等方面的倡议和成功，它得到了强调。然而，就某些指标而言（如提交论文的百分比），美国在这一领域落后于其他国家。认识到这一点以及KRR的重要性，NSF于2013年2月组织了一个关于知识表示研究的挑战和机遇的研讨会。成立于1989年的KRR系列会议是该领域的首次会议。该奖项将使美国学生能够与KRR领域的顶尖研究人员见面并互动。这将对美国在该领域培养合格的研究人员产生长期影响，并将对美国的学术界和工业界产生进一步的影响。该奖项将解决知识表示与推理（KRR）领域学生教育的瓶颈问题。pi是该系列会议的主要推动力之一。他们是知名的研究人员，具有很高的知名度和成功的学生指导记录。KRR会议是该领域杰出研究人员参加的重要活动。该奖项将帮助获得该奖项的学生成为更好的KRR领域的研究人员。该领域不仅对构建智能系统很重要，而且在许多相关领域都有影响，例如：视频分析中的事件识别、问题回答、机器阅读和大型机制分析。有关2014年KRR会议的更多信息，请参阅会议网页：http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/events/kr2014/
