The purpose of this project is to support the participation of a select group of US-based PhD students in the doctoral consortium at the 2016 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI). IJCAI is a premier conference in Artificial Intelligence (AI), drawing wide domestic and international participation, including many top researchers. In particular, the doctoral consortium seeks to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in this field of research, and we expect to have diverse participation in terms of gender, ethnic background, academic institution, and geographic location. In addition to technical exposure, this experience will give students the opportunity to interact with a broad range of researchers and educators involved in the AI field. This will help the students to become members of the international community of scholars, and to develop into the global scientists that are needed for the future. In the longer term, having engaged and informed scientists will help advance science and high-tech industry in the US.The wide variety and significance of the topics typically presented at IJCAI, in both the technical program and the doctoral consortium, will provide a great opportunity for students to share, exchange information, and learn from each other and from the best in the field. Participation in a conference is a great motivator for graduate students, and we expect the IJCAI doctoral consortium will generate additional long-term interest among graduate students in pursuing a research-oriented career in artificial intelligence. Doctoral consortium participants will also have the opportunity to receive feedback on their doctoral research from established scientists who will serve as mentors throughout the proceedings.

该项目的目的是支持一组选定的美国博士生参加2016年国际人工智能联合会议（IJCAI）的博士生联盟。IJCAI是人工智能（AI）的重要会议，吸引了广泛的国内外参与，包括许多顶级研究人员。特别是，博士生联盟旨在扩大代表性不足的群体在这一研究领域的参与，我们希望在性别，种族背景，学术机构和地理位置方面有多样化的参与。除了技术接触，这种经验将使学生有机会与参与人工智能领域的广泛的研究人员和教育工作者进行互动。这将有助于学生成为国际学者社区的成员，并发展成为未来所需的全球科学家。从长远来看，有从事和知情的科学家将有助于推动科学和高科技产业在美国。广泛的品种和主题的意义通常提出在IJCAI，在技术方案和博士财团，将提供一个很好的机会，让学生分享，交流信息，互相学习，并从最好的领域。参加会议对研究生来说是一个很大的动力，我们预计IJCAI博士联盟将在研究生中产生更多的长期兴趣，以追求人工智能的研究型职业生涯。 博士财团的参与者也将有机会收到他们的博士研究的反馈意见，从建立科学家谁将在整个过程中担任导师。
