WORKSHOP: Doctoral Consortium at the International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2016)

这笔资金用于支持来自美国机构的约6名研究生以及将担任导师的约5名ICMI社区高级成员参加博士联盟(研讨会)，该联盟将与第18届多模式交互国际会议(ICMI 2016)同时举行，紧接着将于2016年11月12-16日在日本东京举行，该会议由计算机械协会(ACM)组织。ICMI系列会议是关于多模式人-人和人-机交互、界面和系统开发的多学科研究的主要国际论坛。会议的重点是定义多模式交互分析、界面设计和系统开发领域的理论和经验基础、组件技术和组合多模式处理技术。今年会议特别感兴趣的主题包括：多模式互动处理；互动系统和应用；人类交流模式的建模；多模式互动系统的数据、评估和标准；以及城市互动。ICMI 2016将以单轨主会议为特色，其中包括：主旨演讲者、技术全文和简短论文(包括口头和海报演示)、特别会议、演示、展览和博士论文。ICMI 2016会议记录将由ACM出版社出版，并纳入ACM数字图书馆。作为对高质量学生参与的进一步激励，ICMI 2016将授予优秀论文奖，并为学生论文设立一个特殊类别。欲了解更多有关这次会议的信息，请访问http://icmi.acm.org/2016/.。ICMI博士联盟的目标是为博士生提供一个机会，向来自不同学术和工业机构的一群导师和同行介绍他们的工作，获得对他们的博士研究计划和进展的反馈，并建立一支对设计多模式界面感兴趣的年轻研究人员队伍。学生参与者将在联合会上发表他们正在进行的论文研究的简短演讲，并在会议的博士聚焦会议上作为海报。继去年ICMI会议和博士联盟的丰富经验之后，该计划的目标是为学生和该领域的资深成员提供更多互动的机会，该计划将再次包括研讨会当天为学生和导师提供的午餐、为学生和导师提供提问和回答问题并讨论该领域挑战和机会的职业小组会议，以及将为学生提供机会进行非正式对话的晚宴。博士联盟将通过展示他们自己的工作，以及通过观察和与该领域的知名专业人士互动，让学生参与者接触到他们新的研究社区。它将鼓励学生在职业生涯的关键时刻开始建立由同龄人和导师组成的社会支持网络。组织者将积极采取措施，在学生中实现研究主题、学科背景、方法方法和家庭机构的多样性。为了进一步增加多样性，组织者承诺，任何一所美国高等教育机构都不会邀请超过一名学生。

This is funding to support participation by about 6 graduate students from U.S. institutions, along with about 5 senior members of the ICMI community who will serve as mentors, in a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) to be held in conjunction with and immediately preceding the 18th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2016), which will take place November 12-16, 2016, in Tokyo, Japan, and which is organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The ICMI conference series is the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system development. The conference focuses on theoretical and empirical foundations, component technologies, and combined multimodal processing techniques that define the field of multimodal interaction analysis, interface design, and system development. Topics of special interest to the conference this year include: multimodal interaction processing; interactive systems and applications; modeling human communication patterns; data, evaluation and standards for multimodal interactive systems; and urban interactions. ICMI 2016 will feature a single-track main conference which includes: keynote speakers, technical full and short papers (including oral and poster presentations), special sessions, demonstrations, exhibits and doctoral spotlight papers. The ICMI 2016 proceedings will be published by ACM Press and included in the ACM Digital Library. As a further incentive for high-quality student participation ICMI 2016 will be awarding outstanding paper awards, with a special category for student papers. More information about the conference may be found online at http://icmi.acm.org/2016/. The goal of the ICMI Doctoral Consortium is to provide PhD students with an opportunity to present their work to a group of mentors and peers from a diverse set of academic and industrial institutions, to receive feedback on their doctoral research plan and progress, and to build a cohort of young researchers interested in designing multimodal interfaces. Student participants will present their ongoing thesis research as a short talk at the Consortium and also as a poster at the conference Doctoral Spotlight Session. Following the fruitful experience of last year's ICMI conference and doctoral consortium, and with the goal of providing more opportunities for interaction between the students and senior members of the field, the program will once again include a lunch on the day of the workshop for students and mentors, a career panel that will provide the students and mentors the opportunity to ask and answer questions and discuss challenges and opportunities in the field, and a dinner that will provide the students with the opportunity to hold informal conversations among themselves as well as with the organizers and mentors. The Doctoral Consortium will give student participants exposure to their new research community, both by presenting their own work and by observing and interacting with established professionals in the field. It will encourage students at this critical time in their careers to begin building a social support network of peers and mentors. The organizers will take steps proactively to achieve a diversity of research topics, disciplinary backgrounds, methodological approaches, and home institutions among the students. To further increase diversity, the organizers have committed that no more than one student will be invited from any given U.S. institution of higher learning.
