Travel: Workshop for Women in Machine Learning

该补助金用于支持机器学习中的女性（WiML）年度研讨会。这个为期一天的研讨会汇集了工业界和学术界的女性研究人员，博士后研究员和机器学习社区的研究生，以交流研究思想，建立指导和网络关系。它将促进机器学习社区内部的合作，不仅包括来自知名研究人员的前沿想法，还包括来自学生的想法，学生将展示自己的研究，并从高级研究人员和同行那里获得宝贵的反馈。本次研讨会将为女性研究生、博士后研究员、初级和高级教师以及行业和政府研究科学家提供一个交流研究想法、建立网络和指导关系的论坛。本科生，特别是那些有兴趣在研究生院或行业职位的机器学习，也欢迎参加。将职业生涯不同阶段的女性聚集在一起，为资深研究人员提供了担任导师的机会，并使年轻女性能够找到在机器学习领域工作的女性榜样。该研讨会还将使更广泛的机器学习社区受益：WiML网站包括一个超过400名女性的目录，供寻找女性受邀演讲者的组织使用。与大型机器学习会议同地办公，（a）提高了与会者在更广泛社区中的知名度，（B）方便WiML与会者继续参加主要会议。该奖项反映了NSF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。

This grant supports the annual workshop for Women in Machine Learning (WiML). This one-day workshop brings together female researchers in industry and academia, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from the machine learning community to exchange research ideas and build mentoring and networking relationships. It will foster collaboration within the machine learning community, featuring not only cutting-edge ideas from established researchers but also from students, who will present their own research and receive valuable feedback from both senior researchers and their peers. We expect that new connections and research collaborations will be established, and will help to advance the state-of-the-art of the field.This workshop will provide a forum for female graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior and senior faculty, and industry and government research scientists to exchange research ideas and establish networking and mentoring relationships. Undergraduates, particularly those who are interested in pursuing graduate school or industry positions in machine learning, are also welcome to attend. Bringing together women from different stages of their careers gives established researchers the opportunity to act as mentors, and enables junior women to find female role models working in the field of machine learning. The workshop will also benefit the wider machine learning community: The WiML website includes a directory of over 400 women for organizations looking for female invited speakers. Co-locating with a major machine learning conference (a) enhances the visibility of the participants in the broader community and (b) facilitates travel for WiML attendees to stay on for the main conference.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.
