This project provides support for about 25 U.S.-based graduate students to participate in the 47th ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR 2024), which will be held in Washington, D.C., July 14-18, 2024. SIGIR is the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval. The SIGIR conference has been promoting research, development, and education in search and other information access technologies. It is the major international forum for the presentation, demonstration, and dissemination of new research, new systems, and new techniques in the broad field of information retrieval. The conference is a highly selective meeting that includes oral and poster presentations of refereed papers as well as panel discussions and invited talks by leading experts from industry and academia. The conference covers all aspects of information retrieval research, including theories and foundations, algorithms and applications, evaluation and analysis, and humans and societal impacts. The conference this year will continue these main themes in information retrieval studies. In addition, this year’s conference will feature special themes including (1) new perspectives on information retrieval inspired by recent advances in generative AI techniques such as large language models; (2) information retrieval research enterprise and infrastructure sponsored by various U.S. government agencies located around Washington, D.C.A strong representation of U.S. students and researchers at the conference is essential in maintaining U.S. competitiveness in this important area today and into the future. The selection of Student Travel Grant awardees will put emphasis on the diversity of the students. As in various STEM fields, increasing the diversity of participants at SIGIR is a primary goal. By providing these travel awards, the conference hopes to attract the attendance of a larger number of female students as well as students from other underrepresented groups. This project aims to help U.S.-based students overcome financial barriers that may prevent them from attending the conference. The award will be advertised through various channels including the SIGIR 2024 website (https://sigir-2024.github.io/) and social media platforms.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.

该项目为大约25名美国研究生提供支持，参加将于2024年7月14日至18日在华盛顿特区举行的第47届ACM SIGIR信息检索研究与开发会议（SIGIR 2024）。SIGIR是计算机协会的信息检索特别兴趣小组。SIGIR会议一直在推动搜索和其他信息访问技术的研究、开发和教育。它是在广泛的信息检索领域介绍、演示和传播新研究、新系统和新技术的主要国际论坛。会议是一个高度选择性的会议，包括评审论文的口头和海报展示，以及小组讨论和邀请来自工业界和学术界的主要专家的演讲。会议涵盖了信息检索研究的各个方面，包括理论与基础、算法与应用、评估与分析、人类与社会影响。今年的会议将继续这些主题的信息检索研究。此外，今年的会议将以特别主题为特色，包括(1)受大型语言模型等生成式人工智能技术的最新进展启发的信息检索新视角；(2)信息检索研究企业和基础设施由位于华盛顿特区附近的美国政府机构赞助。在会议上，美国学生和研究人员的强大代表对于保持美国在这一重要领域的竞争力至关重要。在甄选学生旅游补助金得奖者时，将注重学生的多样性。与其他STEM领域一样，增加SIGIR参与者的多样性是主要目标。通过提供这些旅行奖励，会议希望吸引更多的女学生以及其他未被充分代表的群体的学生参加。该项目旨在帮助美国学生克服可能阻止他们参加会议的经济障碍。该奖项将通过SIGIR 2024网站（https://sigir-2024.github.io/）和社交媒体平台等多种渠道进行宣传。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。
