2009 SIGART/AAAI Doctoral Consortium

该奖项支持参加2009年7月12日至13日在加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳举行的第13届SIGART/AAAI博士联盟的博士生，该联盟与2009年7月11日至17日举行的2009年国际人工智能联合会议相结合。博士联盟旨在：(1)为参与者提供一个反馈当前研究和指导未来研究方向的场所；(2)建立一个支持性的学者社区和合作研究精神；(3)支持新一代的研究人员。博士联盟的组织者努力招募并包括来自代表性不足的群体（例如，女性和代表性不足的少数民族）、规模较小的学校和人工智能项目较少的学校的学生。每个学生做一个25分钟的演讲，然后是20分钟的讨论；有一对一的教师导师会议。也将有机会讨论学术和其他职业道路上的职业问题。关于该联盟的报告将发表在《人工智能杂志》上。

This award supports participation of doctoral students in the Thirteenth SIGART/AAAI Doctoral Consortium to be held July 12-13, 2009 in Pasadena, CA in conjunction with the 2009 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, July 11-17, 2009. The Doctoral Consortium aims to: (1) provide a setting for feedback on participants' current research and guidance on future research directions; (2) develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research; and (3) support a new generation of researchers. The Doctoral Consortium organizers strive to recruit and include students from underrepresented groups (e.g., women and underrepresented minorities) and smaller schools and schools with less established programs in artificial intelligence. Each student gives a 25-minute presentation to be followed by 20 minutes of discussion; there are one-on-one meeting with a faculty mentor. There will also be opportunities to discuss career issues in both academic and other career pathways. A report on the Consortium will be published in the AI Magazine.
