The United States has historically been the global leader in the field of artificial intelligence in education (AIED), or ways to use artificial intelligence technology to enhance teaching and learning in contexts ranging from children learning math in K12 setting, to soldiers learning highly technical jobs in the US military. The preeminent conference in this field is the International AIED conference; at this conference the latest research is presented and practitioners learn the state of the art techniques that allow creation of these important educational technologies. This proposal would provide partial travel support for 18 Ph.D. students, selected through a competitive process, to attend the AIED conference, present their work, and receive additional mentoring outside of their dissertation committees as part of a doctoral consortium. The intellectual merit of the work rests on the studies the graduate students submit to be considered for participation in the early career track of the conference; this work is then enhanced by guidance from world-class mentors who meet with the students in a structured format to improve their research. The broader impact includes the career impact on the twenty selected students, especially since promising graduate students whose advisors may not have funding to send them to the conference can still be included, and their work can be showcased and improved. Possible long-term broader impacts include building the field of artificial intelligence in education and data analytics researchers and thus eventually, improving the quality of education.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.

从历史上看，美国一直是人工智能教育（AIED）领域的全球领导者，即利用人工智能技术加强教学和学习的方法，从儿童在K12环境中学习数学，到美国军队中学习高技术工作的士兵。这一领域最杰出的会议是国际AIED会议；在这次会议上，展示了最新的研究成果，从业人员学习了最先进的技术，这些技术可以创造这些重要的教育技术。该提案将为18名通过竞争程序选出的博士生提供部分旅费支持，以参加AIED会议，展示他们的工作，并作为博士联盟的一部分接受论文委员会以外的额外指导。这项工作的智力价值取决于研究生提交的研究，这些研究将被考虑参加会议的早期职业轨迹；然后，世界级的导师以结构化的形式与学生会面，以改进他们的研究，从而加强这项工作。更广泛的影响包括对20名入选学生的职业影响，特别是因为导师可能没有资金送他们参加会议的有前途的研究生仍然可以被包括在内，他们的工作可以被展示和改进。可能的长期更广泛的影响包括在教育和数据分析研究人员中建立人工智能领域，从而最终提高教育质量。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
