Group Support Grant for IEEE/CVF CVPR 2020 Doctoral Consortium

该奖项支持来自美国机构的学生参加2020年IEEE计算机视觉和模式识别会议（CVPR）的博士生联盟，该会议将因COVID-19而虚拟举行。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9000多名与会者。该奖项有助于计算机视觉领域一些最聪明的初级研究人员的职业发展，以增加STEM领域活跃的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应届毕业生在解决有利于整个社会的问题方面取得快速进展。博士生联盟的目标是有来自不同群体的参与者在性别，种族背景，学术机构和地理位置方面的代表。NSF的支持涵盖了40名选定的美国研究生参加博士生联盟和CVPR会议的部分费用。博士联盟强调谁是在六个月内获得学位（包括应届毕业生）的高级博士生的工作，并让这些学生有机会讨论他们的研究和职业选择与教师和研究人员谁拥有相关的专业知识和经验。由于COVID-19导致就业前景不明朗，以及传统的网络和招聘活动中断，因此有机会从不同机构的专家那里获得有关其研究工作和职业规划的建议尤为重要。支持的参与者和接受者由2020年CVPR博士联盟主席选择。这种支助包括与会议有关的可受理费用，如登记费。今年的博士联盟的特点是海报会议，一对一的指导，和小组讨论，所有虚拟举行。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

This award supports the participation of students from US-based institutions in the Doctoral Consortium at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2020, which will be held virtually due to COVID-19. CVPR is the premier annual conference in computer vision with over 9000 participants from all over the world. The award helps the career development of some of the brightest junior researchers in computer vision to increase 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 40 selected US-based graduate students to participate in the Doctoral Consortium and CVPR conference. The Doctoral Consortium highlights the work of senior PhD students who are within six months of receiving their degrees (including recent graduates) and gives 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 is particularly important due to the uncertainty of job prospects and disruption of traditional networking and recruiting events caused by COVID-19. Participants and recipients of support are selected by the 2020 CVPR Doctoral Consortium Chair. The support covers admissible conference-related costs such as registration. This year's Doctoral Consortium features a poster session, one-on-one mentoring, and panel discussion, all held virtually. These components were introduced in past doctoral consortiums 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.
