Travel: Workshop for Women in Machine Learning

这笔赠款支持机器学习中的妇女年度研讨会(WiML)。这个为期一天的研讨会汇集了产业界和学术界的女性研究人员、博士后研究员和来自机器学习社区的研究生，以交流研究想法并建立指导和网络关系。它将促进机器学习社区内的合作，不仅有来自成熟研究人员的尖端想法，也有来自学生的合作，他们将展示自己的研究，并从资深研究人员和他们的同行那里获得宝贵的反馈。我们期待着建立新的联系和研究合作，并将有助于推动该领域的最新水平。这次研讨会将为女性研究生、博士后研究员、初级和高级教员以及行业和政府研究科学家提供一个交流研究想法并建立网络和指导关系的论坛。本科生，特别是那些有兴趣在机器学习方面攻读研究生院或行业职位的人，也欢迎参加。将职业生涯不同阶段的女性聚集在一起，为知名研究人员提供了充当导师的机会，并使初级女性能够找到在机器学习领域工作的女性榜样。研讨会还将使更广泛的机器学习社区受益：WiML网站包括一份400多名妇女的名录，供寻找受邀女性发言者的组织使用。与大型机器学习会议同处一地(A)提高参与者在更广泛社区中的可见度，(B)方便WiML与会者出差继续参加主要会议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
