IJCAI 2011 Doctoral Consortium and International Experience

该项目资助了美国研究生的两项相关活动：(1)参加国际人工智能联合会议(IJCAI)的博士联盟，在那里学生与社区的资深成员讨论他们的研究，与来自世界各地的学生建立网络，并讨论与计算研究中的伦理相关的问题；(2)延长对欧洲研究小组的研究访问，在那里学生接触到人工智能和机器人领域的新研究范式和方法，并在欧洲东道主和他们自己的研究小组之间建立长期合作的桥梁。该项目的目标是让学生更清楚地了解他们作为计算机科学家可能遇到的伦理困境；会见其他学生和专业人员；有机会向相关研究领域的其他人展示他们的工作；从他们的研究界的高级成员那里获得反馈。参加扩大访问的学生还可以在一个新的研究小组进行研究和/或开始一个新的研究项目；与欧洲同事合作；在外国生活，尽管时间很短；在博士联盟报告他们的工作。通过对学生和欧洲东道主进行事前和事后调查，对项目结果进行了评估。参与该项目有望帮助研究生成为国际学者社区的一员，并发展成为未来所需的全球科学家。这些合作将促进所有国家的科学和工业发展。

The project funds two related activities for US-based graduate students: (1) attendance at the doctoral consortium at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), where students discuss their research with senior members of the community, network with students from around the world, and discuss issues related to ethics in computing research; (2) extended research visits to European research groups, where students are exposed to new research paradigms and approaches within artificial intelligence and robotics, and build bridges between the European host and their own research group for long term cooperation. The goals of the project are to give students a clearer idea of what ethical dilemmas they may encounter as computer scientists; meet other students and professionals; have the opportunity to present their work to others in related research subfields; receive feedback from a senior member of their research community. Students who participate in the extended visits also do research with a new research group and/or begin a new research project; work with European colleagues; live, albeit briefly, in a foreign country; report their work at the doctoral consortium. The outcomes of the project are assessed with pre- and post-surveys administered to the students and the European hosts. Participation in the project is expected to help graduate students become members of the international community of scholars, and develop into the global scientists that are needed for the future. These cooperations will advance science and industry in all countries.
