Student Travel Grants for 2014 ACM Multimedia Conference

这项学生旅行补助金支持在美国机构就读的研究生/本科生参加ACM多媒体2014会议。ACM Multimedia是多媒体领域的全球顶级会议，涵盖最新的技术论文，技术演示，大挑战比赛，开源软件比赛，博士研讨会。对于美国学生来说，利用这次会议提供的独特研究和教育计划是非常有价值的。参加这样的活动可以让学生学习/体验创新研究，发展专业网络，并与参与实际应用和技术转让的行业和学术界领导人互动。ACM多媒体会议提供各种活动，特别有利于参与该领域研究的学生。首先，它举办了一个博士研讨会，将为博士生提供他们正在进行的工作，并从既定的研究人员那里获得反馈。 这也旨在建立一个支持性的全球社区，并为博士生建立专业网络。第二，多媒体大挑战提出了一系列来自行业领导者的问题和议题，旨在让多媒体研究界参与解决有关多媒体行业3-5年愿景的相关，有趣和具有挑战性的问题。 第三，ACM多媒体开源软件竞赛旨在促进免费资源的贡献，这些资源通过提供一套用于构建和改进多媒体研究原型的通用工具来推动该领域的发展。最后，大型技术演示会议旨在作为演示者的研究思想和科学或工程贡献的真实的、实用的和互动的证明。该课程允许学生展示自己的新颖研究原型，并查看和互动的第一手资料，在多媒体领域的创新解决方案和想法的现场证据。

This student travel grant supports graduate/undergraduate students enrolled in US institutions to attend ACM Multimedia 2014 conference. ACM Multimedia is the worldwide premier conference in the multimedia field, covering latest technical papers, technical demos, grand challenge competition, open source software competition, doctoral symposium. It is extremely valuable for US students to take advantage of the unique research and education programs provided by this conference. Participation in such event allows students to learn/experience innovative research, develop professional networks, and interact with industry and academia leaders involved in practical applications and technology transfer. ACM Multimedia conference offers various activities which particularly benefit students who are involved in research in this area. First, it hosts a Doctoral Symposium which will provide PhD students to present their ongoing work and receive feedback from established researchers. This also aims to establish a supportive worldwide community, and build professional networks for PhD students. Second, Multimedia Grand Challenges presents a set of problems and issues from industry leaders, geared to engage the Multimedia research community in solving relevant, interesting and challenging questions about the industry's 3-5 year vision for multimedia. Third, the ACM Multimedia Open-Source Software Competition is designed to promote the contribution of freely available resources, which advance the field by providing a common set of tools for building and improving multimedia research prototypes. Finally, the large Technical Demonstration session is intended as real, practical, and interactive proof of the presenters' research ideas and scientific or engineering contributions. This session allows students to demonstrate their own novel research prototypes, and also to view and interact first hand with live evidence of innovative solutions and ideas in the field of multimedia.
