This is funding to provide financial support for approximately 20 graduate students (all from U. S. universities and working towards either their Master's degree or a Doctorate) to attend the 2017 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2017), to be held March 13-16 in Limassol, Cypress, about 10 of them as participants in a special Student Consortium (workshop), and the rest as presenters in the main conference and/or as attendees at the conference for general training purposes. Sponsored by ACM, the annual IUI conferences represent the growing interest in next-generation intelligent interactive user interfaces. Attracting 200-300 attendees, they are the premier forum where researchers from academia and industry worldwide who work at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) come together to exchange insights and to present outstanding research and applications whose goal is to make the computerized world a more amenable place. Unlike traditional AI the focus is not so much on making the computer smart all by itself, but rather on making the interaction between computers and people smarter; unlike traditional HCI, there is a focus on solutions that involve large amounts of knowledge and emerging technologies such as natural language understanding, brain computer interfaces, and gesture recognition. To this end, IUI encourages contributions not only from computer science but also from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, the arts, etc. IUI 2017 will be the 22nd conference in the series; more information about the conference is available online at http://iui.acm.org/2017. This funding will enable attendance at the IUI conference by students who might otherwise be unable to do so for financial reasons. It will enhance the educational experience of funded participants, by bringing them into contact with leading researchers in the field and by exposing them to the lively discussion during the course of the conference that often leads to opportunities for career advancement. The quality of the conference itself will be enhanced as well, thanks to a broadening of the base of institutions represented and increased diversity of participants. The rich exchange of ideas at IUI has previously proven to be a valuable source of ideas for future research, as well as leading to collaborative efforts; this funding will extend the opportunities for collaboration and provide intellectual stimulus to programs that have previously sent few or no representatives to this conference. The organizing committee has undertaken to proactively recruit student participants from schools that have not traditionally been well represented in the IUI community. Women and students who are members of underrepresented groups will be particularly encouraged to participate. To further assure diversity, no more than two students will be accepted from any given institution.The IUI 2017 Student Consortium will build on the success of previous such events. The heart of the Consortium will be a full-day workshop on March 13 in parallel with the conference workshops and the day before the start of the technical program. Student trainees will be afforded exposure to their new research community by giving a 20-30 presentation on their work and receiving feedback from peers and a panel of senior researchers. A group lunch and dinner will encourage social interaction among the student cohort and informal personal interaction with the mentors. The students' work will also be featured during the main conference in a poster session, where they will gain additional experience explaining their work to others in the field.

这笔资金将为大约20名研究生（全部来自美国）提供经济支持。S.参加2017年智能用户界面国际会议（International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces）（IUI 2017），将于3月13日至16日在塞浦路斯的利马索尔举行，其中约10人参加了一个特殊的学生联盟（研讨会），其余的作为主要会议的演讲者和/或作为一般培训目的的会议与会者。 由ACM赞助的年度IUI会议代表了对下一代智能交互用户界面日益增长的兴趣。 吸引200-300与会者，他们是首屈一指的论坛，来自世界各地的学术界和工业界的研究人员谁在人机交互（HCI）和人工智能（AI）的交叉工作走到一起，交流见解，并提出优秀的研究和应用程序，其目标是使计算机化的世界更适合的地方。 与传统人工智能不同，它的重点不是让计算机本身变得更智能，而是让计算机与人之间的交互变得更智能;与传统人机交互不同，它的重点是涉及大量知识和新兴技术的解决方案，如自然语言理解，脑机接口和手势识别。为此，IUI不仅鼓励计算机科学的贡献，还鼓励相关领域的贡献，如心理学，行为科学，认知科学，计算机图形学，设计，艺术等IUI 2017将是该系列的第22届会议;有关会议的更多信息可在http://iui.acm.org/2017上在线获得。 这笔资金将使学生谁否则可能无法这样做，因为经济原因出席IUI会议。 它将加强受资助的参与者的教育经验，使他们与该领域的主要研究人员接触，并使他们在会议期间参加热烈的讨论，这往往会带来职业发展的机会。 由于与会机构基础的扩大和与会者的多样化，会议本身的质量也将得到提高。 IUI丰富的思想交流已被证明是未来研究的宝贵思想来源，并导致合作努力;这笔资金将扩大合作的机会，并为以前很少或根本没有代表参加这次会议的计划提供智力刺激。 组织委员会已承诺积极从传统上在IUI社区中没有很好代表的学校招募学生参与者。 将特别鼓励代表性不足群体的妇女和学生参加。 为了进一步确保多样性，任何机构都不会接受超过两名学生。IUI 2017学生联盟将建立在以往此类活动的成功基础上。 该联盟的核心将是3月13日的全天研讨会，与会议研讨会和技术计划开始前一天平行。 学生学员将通过对他们的工作进行20-30次演讲，并接受同行和高级研究人员小组的反馈，接触他们新的研究社区。 集体午餐和晚餐将鼓励学生群体之间的社会互动和与导师的非正式个人互动。 学生们的工作也将在海报会议期间的主要会议，在那里他们将获得额外的经验，解释他们的工作在该领域的其他人。
