The proposal provides travel support for 13 promising graduate and undergraduate students to attend the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP 2023), co-located with the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Collective Intelligence (CI). HCOMP and CI are cross-disciplinary conferences that combine human-centered methods and traditional computer science to address fundamental questions in human computation and crowdsourcing systems, which typically aggregate many small contributions to accomplish larger tasks such as information extraction from images, labeling data for use by both AI algorithms and qualitative researchers, and running surveys and experiments with many participants. The funding will be used to support students who might not otherwise be able to afford the conference, but who would benefit from interacting with experts in the field, gaining feedback on their research ideas, and forming connections with peers. Supported PhD students will also be able to participate in the Doctoral Consortium to gain expert insights on their dissertation work.Both undergraduate and graduate students may apply for conference travel funding to allow for students at all career stages to share their work, form professional connections, and engage with current research in HCOMP and CI. Selection criteria will include students’ research interests specific to the conferences, prior attendance at these conferences, having a paper or poster accepted at this year's conferences, and the potential for conference attendance to be a transformative experience. The proposers will also coordinate with the HCOMP doctoral consortium committee to select for a diversity of institutional, student, and topical backgrounds, which will provide both a necessary breadth of research expertise as well as opportunities for building new collaborations and including students from groups that are historically underrepresented in computing. Students will be able to attend both conferences, further increasing their exposure to a wide set of research ideas and approaches.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.

该提案为13名有前途的研究生和本科生提供旅行支持，让他们参加人工智能促进(AAAI)关于人类计算和众包的会议(HCOMP 2023)，该会议与计算机械协会(ACM)关于集体智能(CI)的会议共同举办。HCOMP和CI是跨学科的会议，它们结合了以人为中心的方法和传统的计算机科学，以解决人类计算和众包系统中的基本问题，这些系统通常聚集了许多小的贡献，以完成更大的任务，如从图像中提取信息，标记数据以供人工智能算法和定性研究人员使用，以及与许多参与者一起进行调查和实验。这笔资金将用于支持那些原本可能负担不起会议费用的学生，但他们将受益于与该领域的专家互动，获得对自己研究想法的反馈，并与同行建立联系。受资助的博士生还将能够参加博士联盟，以获得关于他们论文工作的专家见解。本科生和研究生都可以申请会议旅行资金，以便让处于各个职业阶段的学生分享他们的工作，形成专业联系，并参与HCOMP和CI的当前研究。选择标准将包括学生对会议的具体研究兴趣，以前参加过这些会议，有一篇论文或海报在今年的会议上被接受，以及参加会议可能成为一种变革性的经历。提名者还将与HCOMP博士联盟委员会协调，为不同的机构、学生和专题背景进行选择，这将提供必要的研究专业知识广度以及建立新合作的机会，并包括来自计算领域历史上代表性不足的群体的学生。学生将能够参加这两个会议，进一步增加他们接触广泛的研究想法和方法的机会。这一奖项反映了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。
