Group Travel Grant for the Doctoral Consortium of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

该补助金部分支持来自美国机构的学生参加在夏威夷檀香山举行的2017年IEEE计算机视觉和模式识别会议（CVPR）的博士生联盟。CVPR是计算机视觉领域首屈一指的年度会议，有超过2000名高年级、低年级和学生参加。它在北美举行，由国际研究界的成员参加。该项目的更广泛的影响包括支持计算机视觉领域一些最聪明的初级研究人员的职业发展，通过提请注意研究生发展的一个重要方面，为研究界做出贡献，可能增加活跃的研究人员和教育工作者的数量在STEM，并确保计算机视觉社区，通过其最近的毕业生，在解决有利于整个社会的问题方面取得了快速进展。博士生联盟的目标是从不同群体的参与者在性别，种族背景，学术机构和地理位置方面的代表。NSF的支持涵盖了15名选定的美国研究生参加会议的部分费用。旅行支持的参与者和收件人由2017年CVPR博士联盟联合主席选择。博士联盟为高年级博士生提供机会，突出他们的工作，并与具有相关专业知识和经验的教师和研究人员讨论他们的研究和职业选择。在自己的机构内部，往往没有机会听取来自不同机构、观点可能不同的专家对自己的研究工作和职业规划的意见。今年的博士联盟设有海报会议，一对一的指导，和小组讨论。最后一个组成部分是在去年的活动中介绍的，受到好评。

This grant partially supports the participation of students from US institutions in the Doctoral Consortium at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2017 in Honolulu, Hawaii. CVPR is the premier annual conference in computer vision with over 2000 senior, junior and student participants. It is held in North America and attended by members of the international research community. The broader impacts of this project include supporting the career development of some of the brightest junior researchers in computer vision, contributing to the research community in general by drawing attention to an important aspect of graduate student development, potentially increasing the number of active researchers and educators in STEM, and ensuring that the computer vision community, through its recent graduates, makes fast advances in solving problems that will benefit society as a whole. The Doctoral Consortium aims to have representation from a diverse group of participants in terms of gender, ethnic background, academic institution, and geographic location. NSF support covers some of the costs for 15 selected US-based graduate students to attend the conference. Participants and recipients of travel support are selected by the 2017 CVPR Doctoral Consortium co-chairs. The Doctoral Consortium provides opportunities for senior PhD students to highlight their work, and to discuss their research and career options with faculty and researchers who have relevant expertise and experience. The opportunity to receive advice on their research work and career plans from experts from different institutions, and with potentially different perspectives, is often not available internally at one's own institution. This year's Doctoral Consortium features a poster session, one-on-one mentoring, and panel discussion. The last of these components was introduced in last year's event and was well-received.
