Face and Gesture 2011 Conference Doctoral Consortium

由该项目资助的博士联盟是一个为期三天的活动，将与2011年3月21-23日在加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉举行的IEEE自动人脸和手势识别国际会议一起举行。参与者包括即将完成学位论文的研究生，他们已经被该联盟接受。每个被选中加入该联盟的新近毕业或即将毕业的博士都会与一名高级研究员配对，后者在会议期间担任他/她的导师。每位与会者还在向与会者和导师开放的博士联合会午餐会上介绍他/她的研究成果，并在向所有与会者开放的海报会议上介绍他/她的研究成果。与会者也有旅费预算，以支付他们参加会议和财团的全部或部分费用。该联盟为有才华的年轻研究人员提供机会，与他们的同行和资深研究人员正式和非正式地讨论他们的工作。这些与来自不同研究实验室、具有不同观点的其他人的互动通常会加强年轻研究人员交流自己工作价值的能力，并在整个研究领域的更广泛背景下更清楚地安排他们的工作。

The Doctoral Consortium funded by this project is a three-day event to be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition to be held on March 21-23, 2011, in Santa Barbara, California. Attendees include graduate students nearing completion of their dissertations who have been accepted to the consortium. Each recent Ph.D. graduate or soon to be graduate chosen to participate in the consortium is paired with a senior researcher who serves as his/her mentor during the conference. Each participant also presents his/her research at a doctoral Consortium luncheon open to participants and mentors and also presents his/her research in a poster session open to all attendees of the conference. Participants also have a travel budget to defray all or part of their expenses incurred in attending the conference and consortium. The consortium provides talented young researchers the opportunity to discuss their work formally and informally with both their peers and senior researchers. These interactions with others coming from different research labs with different viewpoints typically strengthen the ability of young researchers to communicate the value of their own work and to set their work more clearly in the broader context of the research field as a whole.
