33rd International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2016)

国际机器学习会议（ICML）被认为是机器学习领域的首要会议，无论是从教育还是科学的角度来看。ICML涵盖了机器学习的所有方面，并征集了关于问题领域、研究主题、学习范式和评估方法的论文。它是机器学习社区交流思想的重要论坛，以科学海报会议、教育教程、前瞻性研讨会和邀请演讲为特色。该项目为学生提供奖励，以帮助支付他们的旅行费用，促进会议更广泛的社会影响。促进前沿数据科学的教育和参与是NSF使命的核心，这个项目和它的奖项直接说明了这个使命。ICML 2016将在纽约举行。我们根据以前的ICML会议估算了分项费用。通过该项目资助的学生将根据他们的经济需求、研究领域的一致性和参加会议的情况，通过同行评审过程进行选择。这些奖项将提供与该领域专家交流的机会，并获得对机器学习研究前沿的宝贵见解。这将对他们研究的深度和广度以及论文的质量产生积极影响。长期的职业发展也会带来好处，因为ICML有许多行业赞助商，他们在自己的公司里设立了摊位，讨论面向机器学习的工作机会。ICML 2016奖学金项目延续了过去几年的成功奖学金项目。所请求的资金将专门用于帮助支付参加会议的学生的旅费和注册费。这些学生奖学金对于鼓励学生参与这个重要的会议和塑造整个领域的未来非常重要。

The International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) is considered to be the premier conference in Machine Learning, both from an educational and scientific standpoint. ICML encompasses topics on all facets of Machine Learning, and solicits papers on problem areas, research topics, learning paradigms, and approaches to evaluation. It is a key forum for exchange of ideas in the Machine Learning community, and features scientific poster sessions, educational tutorials, forward-looking workshops, and invited talks. This project offers awards to students to help defray their travel costs, promoting a broader societal reach for the conference. Promoting education and participation in cutting edge data science is central to the mission of the NSF, and this project and its awards speak directly to that mission.ICML 2016 will be held in New York City. We have estimated itemized costs based on previous ICML conferences. Students funded via this project will be selected by a peer review process based on their financial needs, alignment of research areas, and participation in the conference. These awards will offer the opportunity to network with experts in the area and gain valuable insights into the cutting edge of Machine Learning research. This will positively impact the depth and breadth of their research as well as quality of their dissertations. Long-term career benefits should also result, as ICML has a number of industrial sponsors who set up booths and discuss Machine Learning-oriented job opportunities within their own companies. The ICML 2016 scholarship program follows the successful scholarship programs from the last several years. The requested funds will be used exclusively to help defray the travel and registration costs of students attending the conference. These student scholarships are very important for encouraging student participation in this premier conference and for shaping the future of the field as a whole.
