Group Travel Grant for the PhD Forum to be Held in Conjunction with IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (2018)

这笔赠款部分支持来自美国机构的学生参加在加利福尼亚州/内华达州太浩湖举行的2018年IEEE计算机视觉应用冬季会议(WACV)的博士论坛。WACV是专注于计算机视觉应用的主要年度会议。它在美国举行，有国际研究界的成员参加。博士论坛的目标是突出在计算机视觉领域工作的博士生的工作，并让这些学生有机会与该领域的资深研究人员讨论他们的研究和职业选择。该项目的更广泛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来为整个研究界做出贡献，潜在地增加STEM的活跃研究人员和教育工作者的数量，并确保计算机视觉社区通过其最近的毕业生在解决将造福整个社会的问题方面取得快速进展。博士论坛旨在从性别、种族背景、学术机构和地理位置方面吸引不同群体的参与者。国家科学基金会的支持涵盖了10名精选的美国研究生参加会议的部分费用。差旅支持的参与者和接受者由2018年WACV博士论坛主席挑选。对于研究生参与者来说，这次活动是一个机会，可以从来自不同机构的专家那里获得关于他们的研究工作和职业规划的建议，这些专家的观点可能与他们的研究导师不同。对于参与的资深研究人员来说，这是一个与有前途的年轻研究人员进行有意义的讨论的机会，并通过他们的指导来回馈社区。今年的博士论坛以海报会议和一对一指导为特色。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant partially supports the participation of students from US institutions in the PhD Forum at the 2018 IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) in Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada. WACV is the premier annual conference focused on the applications of computer vision. It is held in the United States and attended by members of the international research community. The goal of the PhD Forum is to highlight the work of PhD students working in computer vision and to give these students an opportunity to discuss their research and career options with senior researchers in the field. 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 PhD Forum aims to have representation from a diverse group of participants in terms of gender, ethnic background, academic institution, and geographic location.Support from the National Science Foundation covers some of the costs for 10 selected US-based graduate students to attend the conference. Participants and recipients of travel support are selected by the 2018 WACV PhD Forum Chair. For the graduate student participants, this event is an opportunity to receive advice on their research work and career plans from experts from different institutions, with potentially different perspectives than their research supervisor. For the participating senior researchers, this is an opportunity to have a meaningful discussion with a promising young researcher and to give back to the community through their mentorship. This year's PhD Forum features a poster session and one-on-one mentoring.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
