Conference: VL/HCC Graduate Consortium 2024

该奖项将支持学生前往研究生联盟参加今年的IEEE视觉语言和以人为本的计算会议（VL/HCC），该会议将于2024年9月2日在英国利物浦举行。 VL/HCC是研究计算技术和编程语言的设计，理论，应用和评估的首要国际论坛，易于人们学习，使用和理解。 研究生联盟是会议上的一个长期活动，旨在为初级研究人员提供机会，从该领域的专家研究人员那里获得有关他们正在进行的论文工作的反馈。 通过与导师，其他学生参与者和大会与会者的密切互动，初级研究人员将建立与VL/HCC研究社区的联系，这对他们未来的工作和社区都很有价值。 这笔赠款将提供旅行支持约8谁否则有有限的旅行资金，所以可能无法参加的学生。 选择的标准包括有资金的需要，估计潜在的好处，与会者在他们的工作的成熟度和时间，为学生的工作，以推进VL/HCC研究的潜力。 为了实现研究生联盟的总体目标，即汇集对该问题的不同观点，评选委员会还将寻求资助来自广泛的个人，专业，学科和机构背景的学生。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。

This award will support student travel to the Graduate Consortium at this year's IEEE Conference on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC), to be held Sep 2, 2024 in Liverpool, UK at the beginning of the VL/HCC conference. VL/HCC is the premier international forum for research on the design, theory, application, and evaluation of computing technologies and programming languages that are easy for people to learn, use, and understand. The graduate consortium is a long-running event at the conference designed to provide junior researchers the chance to get feedback about their in-progress dissertation work from expert researchers in the field. Through close interaction with mentors, other student participants, and general conference attendees, junior researchers will build connections to the VL/HCC research community that will be valuable for both their future work and the community. This grant will provide travel support to about 8 students who otherwise have limited travel funding and so might not be able to attend. Criteria for selection include having the need for funding, the estimated potential benefits to the attendee in terms of their work's maturity and timing, the potential for the student's work to advance VL/HCC research. In alignment with the graduate consortium's overall goal to bring together diverse perspectives on the problem, the selection committee will also seek to fund students from a wide range of personal, professional, disciplinary, and institutional backgrounds.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.
