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

该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。 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式人机交互研究。通过深入参与研究项目并作为尖端研究实验室的成员参与，学生将：1）通过真实的研究经验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）增加申请和进入博士课程的准备;和4）通过与研究生和教师导师的合作研究和出版物，创造和传播新的创新。人机交互（HCI）是一个不断发展的领域，它关注如何设计和创建服务于用户需求的计算工件。多模态HCI涉及使用户能够通过多种模态进行交互，例如语音，手势和触摸，这些模态极大地增加了我们的软件系统可以服务的上下文和用户。这个REU网站专注于智能多模式HCI，它将适应个人用户的能力与多模式界面的灵活性结合在一起。该项目针对的是历史上在计算领域代表性不足的学生，将有助于培养一代计算机科学专业的学生，他们的研究和开发工作直接有益于社会的许多方面。

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.
