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费支持，以参加人工智能进步 (AAAI) 人类计算和众包会议 (HCOMP 2023)，该会议与计算机协会 (ACM) 集体智能 (CI) 会议同期举行。 HCOMP 和 CI 是跨学科会议，结合了以人为中心的方法和传统计算机科学，以解决人类计算和众包系统中的基本问题，这些系统通常会聚集许多小的贡献来完成更大的任务，例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可能无法负担会议费用的学生，但他们将从与该领域专家的互动、获得有关他们的研究想法的反馈以及与同行建立联系中受益。受支持的博士生还将能够参加博士联盟，以获得对其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助，以便各个职业阶段的学生分享他们的工作，建立专业联系，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、之前参加这些会议的情况、今年会议接受的论文或海报，以及参加会议是否有可能成为一次变革性的经历。提案者还将与 HCOMP 博士联盟委员会协调，选择具有多样性的机构、学生和主题背景，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，并包括来自历史上在计算领域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思想和方法的机会。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。
