This is funding to support participation by about 10 graduate students from U.S. educational institutions, along with 5-6 senior members of the ICMI community (faculty members and industry researchers) who will serve as mentors, in a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) to be held in conjunction with and on the first day of the 20th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2018), which will take place October 16-20, 2018, in Boulder, Colorado, 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. The theme of the ICMI 2018 conference is "Multi-modal Understanding of Multi-party Interactions." During the conference, multiple events will be planned towards this direction. The conference will also feature workshops and grand challenges. ICMI 2018 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 2018 proceedings will be published by ACM Press and included in the ACM Digital Library. As a further incentive for high-quality student participation ICMI 2018 will be awarding outstanding paper awards, with a special category for student papers. 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. The organizers will take steps proactively to achieve a diversity of research topics, disciplinary backgrounds and methodological approaches among the students. Special consideration will be given to women and under-represented minorities, including students who have not previously attended ICMI. To further increase diversity, the organizers have committed that no more than one student will be invited from any given educational institution. More information about the conference may be found online at http://icmi.acm.org/2018/. Student participants in the Doctoral Consortium 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 experiences from prior year ICMI conferences and doctoral consortia, 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.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.

这笔资金用于支持来自美国教育机构的约10名研究生以及将担任导师的5-6名ICMI社区高级成员(教师和行业研究人员)参加博士联盟(研讨会)，该联盟将与第20届国际多模式交互会议(ICMI 2018)同时举行，并于2018年10月16-20日在科罗拉多州博尔德举行，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。ICMI 2018大会的主题是《多方互动的多模式理解》。在大会期间，将朝着这个方向规划多项活动。会议还将以研讨会和重大挑战为特色。ICMI 2018将以单轨主会议为特色，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、展品和博士论文。ICMI 2018年会议记录将由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 2018将授予优秀论文奖，并为学生论文设立一个特殊类别。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。组织者将积极采取措施，在学生中实现研究主题、学科背景和方法的多样性。将特别考虑妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，包括以前没有参加过ICMI的学生。为了进一步增加多样性，组织者承诺，任何给定的教育机构都不会邀请超过一名学生。欲了解更多有关这次会议的信息，请访问http://icmi.acm.org/2018/.。博士联盟的学生参与者将把他们正在进行的论文研究作为联盟的简短演讲和博士聚焦会议的海报。继前一年ICMI会议和博士联盟取得的丰硕经验之后，该计划的目标是为学生和该领域的高级成员之间提供更多的互动机会，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这个关键时刻开始建立一个由同龄人和导师组成的社会支持网络。该奖项反映了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。
