RI: Student Travel Support for the 2015 International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning; September 28-30, 2015; Frankfurt, Germany

该提案为美国学生参加第23届案例推理国际会议(ICCBR 2015)提供了国际和国内旅行支持，该会议将于2015年9月28日至30日在德国美因河畔法兰克福举行。ICCBR是基于案例推理(CBR)社区的主要年度会议，也是关于这一主题的主要国际会议，汇集了人工智能、机器学习、认知科学和领域应用领域的研究人员。CBR社区欢迎来自行业和其他相关学术领域的跨学科参与和专家。ICCBR在鼓励学生积极参与会议计划方面有着丰富的历史。今天的学生是未来研究界的国际领袖。作为这项活动的一部分，ICCBR组织者旨在通过为学生参加会议提供支持来促进和鼓励学生参与。除了主要的技术项目外，会议还包括学生参与和指导的机会，包括主题研讨会、应用领域挑战竞赛，以及成功的博士联盟系列中的第七个。美国研究人员，特别是学生的强大代表性，有助于保持美国在该领域的科学和技术竞争力，也有助于学生的职业发展。ICCBR是基于案例推理领域的首屈一指的会议，自1993年以来，在人工智能、认知科学和相关学科的更广泛领域，ICCBR为科学和行业进步做出了重大贡献。ICCBR为研究、教育、出版和互动提供了一个动态和全面的计划；它是一个领先的国际论坛，供CBR研究人员、学生和实践者交流和发现前沿的想法、结果、工具、技术和经验。该建议的学术价值在于：(1)通过支持和鼓励更多的学生出席和参与，扩大这个论坛的技术内容、范围和深度；(2)通过学生直接参与会议提供更多的培训和合作机会，促进该领域的技术进步。该项目将为来自美国机构的学生提供部分支持，让他们参加ICCBR 2015并介绍研究工作。ICCBR学生旅行支助将鼓励学生对该领域的研究兴趣和参与，特别是那些处于研究早期阶段或目前没有资金来源的学生，否则可能会限制他们的参与。ICCBR 2015学生将有机会参加由该项目部分支持的以下互动活动：主要技术课程、重点领域研讨会、计算机烹饪竞赛、与同行和领先研究人员以及博士联盟的面对面会议。这些机会将对参与者未来的职业生涯产生长期持久的影响。主要的更广泛的影响是帮助培训该领域的未来一代领导人和劳动力；反过来，这将为未来的创新播下种子，并有助于塑造该领域本身。

This proposal provides international and domestic travel support for U.S. based student participants to attend the 23rd International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR 2015), which will take place from the 28th to 30th of September 2015 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. ICCBR is the premier, annual meeting of the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) community and the primary international conference on this topic, bringing together researchers across artificial intelligence, machine learning, cognitive science, and domain application areas. The CBR community welcomes interdisciplinary participation and experts from industry and other related academic areas. ICCBR has a rich history of encouraging strong student participation in the conference program. Today's students are tomorrow's international leaders in the research community. As part of this, the ICCBR organizers aim to facilitate and encourage student participation by providing support for students to attend the conference. In addition to the main technical program, the conference features opportunities for student participation and mentoring, including themed workshops, an application domain challenge competition, and the 7th in a successful doctoral consortium series. A strong representation of U.S. based researchers, and students in particular, is useful in maintaining U.S. scientific and technical competitiveness in the field and also contributes to the career development of the students. ICCBR is the premier conference in the field of Case-Based Reasoning and has contributed significantly to scientific and industry advances across the broader areas of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and cognate disciplines since 1993. ICCBR provides a dynamic and comprehensive program for research, education, publication, and interaction; it is a leading international forum for CBR researchers, students, and practitioners to exchange and discover leading-edge ideas, results, tools, techniques, and experiences. The intellectual merit of the proposal is to (1) expand the technical content, scope and depth of this forum by supporting and encouraging greater student attendance and participation; (2) foster technical advances in the field through the greater training and collaboration opportunities afforded by direct student participation in the conference. This project will provide partial support for students from U.S. institutions to attend and present research work at ICCBR 2015. ICCBR student travel support will encourage the research interests and involvement of students in the field, particularly those who are at early stages of their research or without current funding sources that might otherwise limit their participation. ICCBR 2015 students will have the opportunity to participate in the following interactive activities as partially supported by this project: main technical program, focus-area workshops, the computer cooking contest, face-to-face meetings with both peers and leading researchers, as well as a doctoral consortium. These opportunities will have a long lasting impact on the future career of the participants. The primary broader impact is to help train the future generation of leaders and workforce in the field; in turn, this will plant the seeds for future innovation and help to shape the field itself.
