Conference: Southern California Probability Symposium

这笔赠款资助南加州概率研讨会，在加州大学圣地亚哥分校，2023年5月20日至21日的会议。 这是一个年度聚会的扩展版本，旨在为南加州社区概率论及相关领域研究的未来50年奠定基础。 赠款的主要目标是资助那些非本地和没有单独资金的全体发言人的旅费和当地费用，沿着来自南加州和附近地区的最多24名与会者的旅费。 该基金优先考虑为早期职业研究人员和传统上在STEM领域代表性不足的研究人员提供参与者资金。本次会议的主要功能是促进和交流南加州概率界的研究思想。 为期两天的活动包括5个杰出的全体会议。此外，还包括来自南加州的早期职业研究人员的几次演讲，以及其他参与者的海报会议，特别是研究生和博士后，以交流他们目前的工作。该计划旨在促进小组讨论和参与者之间的新合作，增加该地区强概率社区的联系和研究成果。在一个越来越依赖数据和技术的世界里，随机性模型在科学的各个方面都发挥着核心作用，像这样的会议是未来几年在现实世界应用中发展新途径的关键。研讨会的网站是https://scps.pstat.ucsb.edu/SCPS2023.htmlThis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。

This grant funds the Southern California Probability Symposium, a conference at UC San Diego, May 20-21, 2023. It is an expanded version of an annual gathering, meant to set the stage for the next 50 years of this important showcase of research in probability theory and related fields in the Southern California community. The primary goal of the grant is to fund the travel and local expenses of those plenary speakers who are non-local and do not have separate funding, along with the travel expenses of up to 24 participants from Southern California and nearby areas. The funding prioritizes participant funding for early career researchers and researchers traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields. The principal function of this conference is the promotion and exchange of research ideas in the Southern California probability community. The two-day event features 5 distinguished plenary talks. Also featured are several talks by early career researchers from Southern California, and a poster session for other participants, especially graduate students and postdocs to communicate their current work. The schedule is designed to foster small group discussions and new collaborations among participants, growing the connections and research accomplishments of the strong probability community in the region. In a world that is ever more data and technology dependent, with models of randomness playing a central role in all parts of science, conferences like this are key to the development of new avenues for progress on real-world applications in the years to come.
