Group Travel Grant for the Doctoral Consortium to be held in Conjunction with IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (2019)

这笔赠款部分支持美国院校的学生参加在加利福尼亚州长滩举行的2019年IEEE计算机视觉与模式识别(CVPR)会议的博士联盟。CVPR是计算机视觉领域首屈一指的年度会议，有来自世界各地的6000多名高级、初级和学生与会者。这笔资助帮助了计算机视觉领域一些最优秀的初级研究人员的职业发展，通过吸引人们对研究生发展的一个重要方面的关注，为整个研究界做出了贡献，潜在地增加了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。博士联盟的目标是从不同的参与者群体中获得代表，包括性别、种族背景、学术机构和地理位置。NSF的支持包括15名选定的美国研究生参加博士联盟和CVPR会议的部分费用。博士联盟旨在突出在获得学位后六个月内的高级博士生(包括新近毕业的学生)的工作，并让这些学生有机会与拥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，往往没有机会从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，而且这些专家可能有不同的观点。差旅支持的参与者和接受者由2019年CVPR博士联盟联合主席挑选。旅费部分用于支付任何可受理的与会议有关的费用，如注册费、机票、住宿费和伙食费。今年的博士联盟以海报会议、一对一指导和小组讨论为特色。这些部分是在过去的CVPR博士联盟中引入的，并受到了很好的欢迎。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-based institutions in the Doctoral Consortium at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2019 in Long Beach, CA. CVPR is the premier annual conference in computer vision with over 6000 senior, junior and student participants from all the world. The grant helps the career development of some of the brightest junior researchers in computer vision, contributes to the research community in general by drawing attention to an important aspect of graduate student development, potentially increases the number of active researchers and educators in STEM, and ensures 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 Doctoral Consortium and CVPR conference. The Doctoral Consortium is to highlight the work of senior PhD students who are within six months of receiving their degrees (including recent graduates), and to give these students an opportunity 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. Participants and recipients of travel support are selected by the 2019 CVPR Doctoral Consortium co-chairs. Travel awards partially cover any admissible conference-related costs such as registration, airfare, lodging, and board. This year's Doctoral Consortium features a poster session, one-on-one mentoring, and panel discussion. These components were introduced in past CVPR Doctoral Consortium and were well received.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.
