NSF Student Travel Support for the Doctoral Colloquium at 2020 IEEE Visualization Conference (IEEE VIS)

可视化，信息和数据的图形化表示，已经成为数据科学的一个组成部分，具有多种实际应用。该项目是一项旅行资助，用于支持2020年电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）可视化会议（IEEE VIS）博士研讨会的学生与会者。IEEE可视化会议是可视化发展的首要论坛，由IEEE可视化分析科学与技术（VAST）、IEEE信息可视化（InfoVis）、IEEE科学可视化（SciVis）以及各种研讨会和相关活动组成。IEEE VIS 2020会议将于2020年10月25日至10月30日在犹他州盐湖城举行。IEEE VIS博士讨论会是在IEEE VIS会议前一天举行的为期一天的活动。这是一个促进可视化领域年轻研究人员成长的论坛。该研讨会始于2006年，是一个非常成功的活动，博士生们在这里展示他们的论文工作，并接受资深研究人员的指导。许多以前的与会者已经成为可视化领域的领导者。讨论会的目的在于使学生参加者多样化。学生、演讲者和教师小组成员在多个维度上的多样性将有助于所有参与者欣赏不同的观点，并批判性地思考教育中的多样性。研讨会还有助于建立和加强初级和高级研究人员之间的专业网络和研究合作，这对初级研究人员是有益的，对该领域的进步至关重要。该奖项支持18名正在制定或刚刚制定论文主题的可视化博士生。在研讨会期间，这些学生将在一个由6至8名杰出研究人员和教师组成的小组中讨论他们的研究课题。他们还将与同龄人密切互动。他们将收到关于论文的反馈，以及关于职业道路的建议。博士讨论会是一个连接初级和高级研究人员的社区建设经验。它侧重于参与者的博士论文研究。学生参与者是根据他们的研究成果和经验来选择的。研讨会还为学生提供了一个交流研究想法、交流他们正在进行的工作和改进他们的研究议程的论坛。它鼓励智力对话和刺激讨论。在此次活动中展出的作品也反映了可视化技术的最新水平。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。

Visualization, the graphical representation of information and data, has become an integral part of data science with diverse and practical applications. This project is a travel grant that supports student attendees of the Doctoral Colloquium at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Visualization Conference (IEEE VIS) 2020. The IEEE VIS conference is the premier forum for advances in visualization, which consists of IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST), IEEE Information Visualization (InfoVis), IEEE Scientific Visualization (SciVis), together with various workshops and associated events. The IEEE VIS 2020 conference will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah, between October 25 and October 30, 2020. The Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE VIS is a single-day event taking place the day before the IEEE VIS conference. It is a forum that fosters the growth of young researchers in the field of visualization. The colloquium began in 2006 and has been a highly successful event where Ph.D. students present their proposed dissertation work and receive mentorship from senior researchers. Many of its previous attendees have become leaders in visualization. The colloquium aims at diversity among the student participants. The diversity among students presenters and faculty panelists across multi-dimensions will help all participants to appreciate different perspectives and to think critically about diversity in education. The colloquium also helps to establish and strengthen professional networks and research collaborations among junior and senior researchers, which are beneficial for the junior researchers, and critical for the advancement of the field.The award supports 18 Ph.D. students in visualization who are in the process of formulating or have just formulated a dissertation topic. During the colloquium, these students will discuss their research topics in a supportive environment with a panel of 6 to 8 distinguished researchers and faculties. They will also interact closely with their peers. They will receive feedback on their dissertation as well as advice on their career paths. The Doctoral Colloquium is a community-building experience that connects junior and senior researchers. It focuses on the participants’ doctoral dissertation research. The student participants are selected based on their research excellence and experiences. The colloquium also provides a forum for students to exchange research ideas, communicate their on-going works, and improve upon their research agendas. It encourages intellectual conversations and stimulating discussions. The works presented at the event also reflects the state-of-the-art in visualization.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.
