REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Intelligent Multimodal Human-Computer Interaction

该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作提供支持。佛罗里达大学将开设一个新的REU网站，培训学生进行智能多模态人机交互的研究。通过深入参与研究项目和作为前沿研究实验室的成员，学生将：1)通过真实的研究经历和有针对性的培训培养研究技能；2)加强完成计算机科学或相关学科学士学位的准备；3)加大攻读博士学位的准备力度；4)通过与研究生和教师导师的合作研究和出版物，创造和传播新颖的创新。人机交互（HCI）是一个不断发展的领域，它关注的是如何设计和创建满足用户需求的计算工件。多模态HCI包括允许用户通过多种模式进行交互，例如语音、手势和触摸，这些模式极大地增加了我们的软件系统可以服务的环境和用户。这个REU网站的重点是智能多模态HCI，它将适应个人用户的能力与多模态接口的灵活性结合在一起。这个项目的目标是那些在计算机领域历史上代表性不足的学生，它将帮助培养一代计算机科学专业的学生，他们的研究和开发工作将直接造福于社会的许多方面。

This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. The University of Florida will host a new REU site that will train students on research in Intelligent Multimodal Human-Computer Interaction. By becoming deeply involved in research projects and participating as members of cutting-edge research labs, students will: 1) develop research skills through authentic research experiences and targeted training; 2) strengthen preparation for completing the baccalaureate degree in computer science or a related discipline; 3) increase preparation for applying to and entering doctoral programs; and 4) create and disseminate novel innovations through collaborative research and publications with graduate student and faculty mentors. Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a growing field that is concerned with how to design and create computational artifacts that serve the needs of their users. Multimodal HCI involves enabling users to interact through multiple modalities, such as speech, gesture, and touch, modalities that tremendously increase the contexts and users that our software systems can serve. This REU site focuses on intelligent multimodal HCI, which brings together the power of adapting to individual users with the flexibility of multimodal interfaces. This project, which targets students who are historically underrepresented in computing, will help build a generation of computer science students whose research and development work directly benefits many facets of society.
