This grant supports travel for select students participating in the Doctoral Mentoring Consortium (DMC) at the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS) that will be held in October 2020 in Nancy, France and the associated summer school held in conjunction with the conference. ICAPS is the premier international conference for researchers in artificial intelligence research across a fully international research community. Artificial intelligence promises broad positive societal impacts in areas ranging from sustainability, smart grids, health care, user-specific education, scientific discovery, and robotics, to name a few. Automated planning and scheduling research is central to improving decision making in dynamic environments. The DMC creates the opportunity to engage students who might not have attended an AI conference due to lack of resources. This will draw more talent into AI research, improve research ideas in their formative stage, and engender collaborations across the breadth of disciplines. This event provides students with invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work at a critical time in their research and enables them to explore their career objectives.This consortium is oriented on research and career development for students who have identified their PhD topics and are just embarking on that independent research. The central activities for the DMC include opportunities for students to present and discuss their work with their peers; interaction with an identified group of senior researchers for advice on Ph.D. research; a career panel to discuss career choices in industry and academia; small group activities led by assigned mentors; and opportunity for interactions with the international research community in AI, which might lead to future collaborative activity. In addition, the DMC affords access to tutorial, workshops, and demonstrations that will provide detailed overviews of specific subfields by leading researchers in the field.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.

这笔赠款为参加博士生指导联盟 (DMC) 参加将于 2020 年 10 月在法国南锡举行的国际自动化规划和调度会议 (ICAPS) 以及与会议同时举办的相关暑期学校的部分学生提供了旅行费用。 ICAPS 是面向整个国际研究界的人工智能研究人员的首要国际会议。人工智能有望在可持续发展、智能电网、医疗保健、针对用户的教育、科学发现和机器人技术等领域产生广泛的积极社会影响。自动规划和调度研究对于改善动态环境中的决策至关重要。 DMC 创造了机会吸引因缺乏资源而无法参加人工智能会议的学生。这将吸引更多人才投入人工智能研究，完善处于形成阶段的研究思路，并促进跨学科合作。这项活动为学生在研究的关键时刻提供了宝贵的接触外部观点的机会，并使他们能够探索自己的职业目标。该联盟面向已确定博士学位主题并刚刚开始独立研究的学生的研究和职业发展。 DMC 的核心活动包括让学生有机会与同龄人展示和讨论他们的工作；与一组确定的高级研究人员互动，寻求博士学位的建议。研究;职业小组讨论工业界和学术界的职业选择；由指定导师领导的小组活动；以及与国际人工智能研究界互动的机会，这可能会导致未来的合作活动。此外，DMC 还提供教程、研讨会和演示，由该领域的领先研究人员提供特定子领域的详细概述。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
