Discovery Science 2001

IIS-0117493Carl H.史密斯，马里兰大学$8，500 - 12个月 （与IDM计划联合资助，总额17，000美元）2001年发现科学奖这是一个标准奖项，为参加2001年11月在华盛顿举行的第四届发现科学会议的2名全体发言人和最多10名研究生提供资助。 发现科学这个新领域的目标是（尽可能地）自动化从大数据集中提取科学见解的过程。 该领域的知识范围非常广泛，涵盖了哲学，逻辑，自动推理和计算学习理论，以及各种实现发现算法的实证研究。这些会议的一个重要贡献是，它们汇集了关于发现过程的广泛观点，以期产生协同作用。今年的会议将是第一次在这个国家举行，PI是会议的当地组织者。 指导委员会将从学生作者中选出学生参与者，主要基于项目委员会对论文的排名，但出于实现多样性的愿望，略有调整。 两名特邀讲者将是指导委员会挑选的相关领域的高级研究人员，以期与相关研究界建立桥梁。

IIS-0117493Carl H. Smith, University of Maryland$8,500 - 12 mos (joint funding with IDM program, total awad $17,000) Discovery Science 2001This is a standard award to provide funding for 2 plenary speakers and up to 10 graduate students attending the fourth conference on Discovery Science to be held in Washington DC in November 2001. The goal of the new field of Discovery Science is to automate (as much as possible) the process by which scientific insights are distilled from large data sets. The intellectual scope of the field is very broad, covering topics from philosophy, logic, automated reasoning and computational learning theory, as well as empirical investigations of various implemented discovery algorithms. An important contribution of the conferences is that they assemble a wide range of perspectives on the process of discovery in the hopes of generating synergy. This year's conference will be the first to be held in this country, and the PI is the local organizer of the meeting. Student participants will be selected by the Steering Committee from among the student authors, based primarily on the rankings of the papers by the Program Committee but moderated slightly by a desire to achieve diversity. The two invited speakers will be senior researchers from related fields, chosen by the Steering Committee with a view to building bridges to related research communities.
