Support for Doctoral Students to Attend International Conferences: Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2015) and Educational Data Mining Society (EDM 2015)

“网络学习和未来学习技术计划”资助的工作旨在支持展望学习技术的未来，并推进我们对人们如何在技术丰富的环境中学习的了解。能力建设项目有助于建设实地开展高质量、高影响力学习研究的能力。该项目通过支持博士生参加将于2015年6月在西班牙马德里举行的国际人工智能教育会议（AIED）和第六届国际教育数据挖掘会议（EDM），支持NSF培养更多科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的高级专业人才的使命。这项资助的学术价值取决于在会议上提出的研究的质量。总之，这些会议提供了来自人工智能、认知科学、机器学习、教育、学习科学、教育技术、心理学、哲学、社会学、人类学、语言学和许多特定领域的信息和思想的交叉施肥，这些领域是设计和构建网络学习系统的。这项工作更广泛的影响在于将学生灌输到这一领域。博士生将从美国院校中选拔。选择的标准包括论文被其中一个会议接受和/或提交学生将在会议上学习的强有力的理由。所有接受支持的学生都将被分配一名导师。评选委员会将努力确保获奖者在机构、主题、学科、种族和性别方面具有多样性。被选中的学生将获得高达1000美元的资助，以支付部分费用。

The Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies Program funds efforts that support envisioning the future of learning technologies and advancing what we know about how people learn in technology-rich environments. Capacity-building (CAP) projects help build the capacity of the field to do high-quality, high-impact research on learning. This project supports the mission of NSF to train more advanced professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) by supporting doctoral students attendance at the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) and the 6th International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM) to be held in Madrid, Spain in June of 2015. The intellectual merit of the grant rests on the quality of the research being presented at the conferences. Together, the conferences provide cross-fertilization of information and ideas from artificial intelligence, cognitive science, machine learning, education, learning sciences, educational technology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and the many domain-specific areas for which cyberlearning systems are designed and built. The broader impact of the work rests in the inculcation of students into this field. Doctoral students will be selected from U.S. institutions. The criteria for selection include either having a paper accepted for one of the conferences and/or or submitting an strong rationale for what the student would learn at the conference. All students receiving support will be assigned a mentor. The selecting committee will strive to ensure that there is diversity of institutions, topics, disciplines, ethnicities, and gender in the cohort of awardees. Selected students will receive up to $1,000 to partially cover expenses.
