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

可视化是信息和数据的图形化表示，已成为数据科学的重要组成部分，具有广泛而实用的应用。该项目用于资助学生参加2020年电气和电子工程师学会(IEEE VIS)可视化会议的博士座谈会。IEEE VIS会议是可视化进展的主要论坛，由IEEE视觉分析科学与技术(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大会将于2020年10月25日至10月30日在犹他州盐湖城举行。IEEE VIS的博士座谈会是一个为期一天的活动，在IEEE VIS会议的前一天举行。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，是一次非常成功的活动，博士生在这里展示他们提出的论文工作，并接受资深研究人员的指导。它之前的许多与会者都成为了可视化领域的领导者。座谈会旨在学生参与者之间的多样性。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，这对初级研究人员有利，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。在座谈会期间，这些学生将在支持性的环境中与6至8名杰出的研究人员和教师讨论他们的研究主题。他们还将与同龄人密切互动。他们将收到对论文的反馈，以及对自己职业道路的建议。博士座谈会是一次连接初级和高级研究人员的社区建设体验。重点是参与者的博士论文研究。学生参与者是根据他们的研究能力和经验挑选出来的。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。它鼓励理智的对话和激动人心的讨论。活动上展示的作品也反映了可视化的最新水平。这一奖项反映了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。

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.
