Doctoral Mentoring Consortium at the 24th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2015)

该项目资助美国研究生参加国际人工智能联合会议（IJCAI）的博士生联盟。博士联盟的目标是让学生讨论研究，有机会谈论他们的研究，与其他研究人员建立专业联系，并接受社区高级成员的个人指导。 该项目的成果将通过对学生进行的前后调查进行评估。 将作出特别努力，从代表性不足的群体和较少机会与国际研究人员互动的较小群体中挑选学生。 参与将有助于研究生与其他研究人员建立网络，并发展成为全球科学家。 从长远来看，这将有助于推动科学和高科技产业的发展。

The project funds attendance of US-based graduate students to the doctoral consortium at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI). The goals of doctoral consortium are for students to discuss research, have an opportunity to talk about their research, build professional connections with other researchers, and receive individual mentoring from a senior member of the community. The outcomes of the project will be assessed with pre- and post-surveys administered to the students. Special efforts will be made to select students from underrepresented groups and from smaller groups who have fewer opportunities to interact with international researchers. Participation will help graduate students network with other researchers, and develop into global scientists. In the longer term, this will help advance science and high-tech industry.
