Travel: Support for Conference Participation at the ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces 2024

该奖项将支持学生出席2024年在南卡罗来纳州格林维尔举行的智能用户界面（IUI）会议。IUI是主要的国际会议，人机交互（HCI）和人工智能（AI）的研究人员在这里展示了使用人工智能帮助人们更有效地与计算机交互的系统。IUI研究涵盖了广泛的社会重要主题和领域，包括推荐系统、适应性教育系统、可访问性、自治系统、创造力、虚拟代理等等。提供旅行资助，使初级研究人员能够展示自己的工作，并从他人的工作中得到丰富，这将加强IUI社区，并为参与其中的学生提供宝贵的利益。这笔资金将支持约14名学生参加会议。这些学生中的大多数还将参加一个博士联合会，在那里，后期的博士生将展示他们的论文研究，并从资深研究员和IUI社区的其他博士生那里得到反馈。旅行资金的可用性将在相关社区广泛公布，并邀请学生提交申请，描述他们的博士工作。这些申请将由一个项目委员会进行审查，该委员会将对每个申请提供实质性的反馈，无论是否被接受。接受决定将着眼于主题，机构和参与者的人口多样性，同时也考虑到经济需求。被选中的学生将参加一个为期一天的博士联盟，有额外的机会与个别导师会面，并被邀请在会议的海报环节进行展示。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 award will support student attendance at the 2024 version of the Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) conference to be held in Greenville, South Carolina. IUI is the main international conference where researchers in human computer interaction (HCI) and artificial intelligence (AI) present work on systems that use AI to help people be more effective in interacting with computers. IUI research spans a wide range of socially important topics and domains, including recommender systems, adaptive educational systems, accessibility, autonomous systems, creativity, virtual agents, and many others. Providing travel funding that allows junior researchers to present their own work and be enriched by others' work will strengthen the IUI community and provide valuable benefits for the students involved.The funding will support around 14 students to attend the conference. Most of these students will also attend a Doctoral Consortium at which later-stage PhD students will present and get feedback on their dissertation research from both senior researchers and other PhD students in the IUI community. The availability of travel funding will be widely announced in the relevant communities, with students being invited to submit applications describing their doctoral work. These applications will be reviewed by a program committee that gives substantive feedback for every application, whether accepted or not. Acceptance decisions will be made with an eye toward topical, institutional, and demographic diversity of participants, while also considering financial need. Chosen students will attend a day-long doctoral consortium, have additional opportunities to meet with individual mentors, and be invited to present in a poster session for the 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.
