Group Travel Grant for the Doctoral Consortium of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2014

这笔助学金部分资助了美国各地机构的20名学生参加IEEE 2014年计算机视觉与模式识别会议(CVPR)的博士联盟。CVPR是主要的年度会议，有大约2000名计算机视觉的高级和学生参与者，在北美举行，国际研究界的成员参加。博士联盟旨在突出即将完成学位的高级博士生或新近毕业的学生的工作，并让这些学生有机会与与他们的专业匹配的高级研究人员讨论他们的研究。这个项目使高质量的博士生能够在更广泛的社区内展示、讨论和接收对原创研究的反馈，这些都是研究生发展的关键组成部分。在许多情况下，从来自不同机构的可能具有不同观点的专家那里获得关于其研究和职业计划的建议的机会，在自己的机构内部是没有的。该项目支持计算机视觉领域一些最优秀的初级研究人员的职业发展，通过引起人们对研究生发展的一个重要方面的关注，并潜在地增加STEM活跃的研究人员和教师的数量，为计算机研究界和整个相关领域做出贡献。

This grant partially supports 20 students at institutions across the U.S. to participate in the Doctoral Consortium at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern 2014 Recognition (CVPR). CVPR is the premier annual conference with about 2000 senior and student participants in computer vision, held in North America and attended by members of the international research community. The Doctoral Consortium is to highlight the work of senior Ph.D. students, who are close to finishing their degrees, or recent graduates, and to give these students the opportunity to discuss their research with senior researchers matched with their expertise.This project enables top-quality Ph.D. students to present, discuss, and receive feedback on original research within the broader community are all critical components of graduate student development. The opportunity to receive advice on their research and career plans from experts from different institutions, and with potentially different perspectives, in many cases is not available internally within one's own institution. This project supports the career development of some of the brightest junior researchers in computer vision, contributes to the computer research community and related fields in general by drawing attention to an important aspect of graduate student development, and potentially increasing the number of active researchers and teachers in STEM.
