Travel: Student Travel Grant for 2022 Logic Programming and Non-Monotonic Reasoning Conference and Doctoral Consortium

这笔赠款为参加第 16 届逻辑编程和非单调推理国际会议 (LPNMR) 的博士生指导联盟 (DMC) 学生提供支持，该会议将于 2022 年 9 月 5 日至 8 日在意大利热那亚奈尔维举行。这是一个成熟的国际会议，促进对基于逻辑的编程语言和数据库系统的设计和实现感兴趣的研究人员和从业者以及在知识表示和非单调推理领域工作的研究人员之间的互动。非单调推理。这项活动将汇集该领域广泛的研究人员社区，并为处于这一关键的早期职业阶段的初级研究人员提供支持。 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参与者。对于规模较小的机构和人工智能项目开发程度较低的机构来说尤其如此。让这些参与者参与进来有可能吸引更多人才参与人工智能研究，改进形成阶段的研究想法，并促进跨学科合作。该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，使他们能够探索自己的职业目标。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。

This grant supports student for select students participating in the Doctoral Mentoring Consortium (DMC) at the 16th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning (LPNMR) that will be held in Genova Nervi, Italy, September 5-8, 2022. This is a well-established international conference that facilitates interactions between researchers and practitioners interested in the design and implementation of logic-based programming languages and database systems, and researchers who work in the areas of knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning. This activity will bring together a broad community of researchers in the field and support junior researchers at this critical early-career stage. The DMC creates the opportunity to bring in participants who might not have attended an AI conference due to lack of resources. This is especially true for those at smaller institutions and those which have less developed AI programs. Engaging such participants has the potential to 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 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.
