RI: Small: Workshop for Women in Machine Learning

该补助金用于支持机器学习中的女性（WiML）年度研讨会。WiML将工业界和学术界的女性研究人员、博士后研究员和机器学习社区的研究生聚集在一起，交流研究思想，建立指导和网络关系。为期一天的研讨会对大三的研究生特别有益，为他们提供了一个支持性的环境来展示他们的研究（在许多情况下，这是第一次），并使他们能够与机器学习领域的同行和更资深的研究人员见面。讲习班提供的建立联系的机会也帮助高年级研究生毕业后找到工作。本次研讨会将促进机器学习社区内的合作。知名研究人员将向研讨会参与者展示来自机器学习不同领域的前沿思想。学生将展示自己的研究成果，并从高级研究人员和同行那里获得宝贵的反馈。通过使处于机器学习职业生涯各个阶段的女性能够交流研究思想并形成新的关系，我们预计将建立新的联系和研究合作，从而推动该领域的发展。 该讲习班将为女研究生、博士后研究员、初级和高级教师以及行业和政府研究科学家提供一个论坛，以交流研究想法，建立网络和指导关系。本科生，特别是那些有兴趣在研究生院或机器学习行业的职位，也欢迎参加。将职业生涯不同阶段的女性聚集在一起，为资深研究人员提供了担任导师的机会，并使年轻女性能够找到在机器学习领域工作的女性榜样。该研讨会还将使更广泛的机器学习社区受益：WiML网站包括一个包含400多名女性的目录，供寻找女性受邀演讲者的组织使用。 与主要的机器学习会议同地办公（a）提高了参与者在更广泛社区中的知名度，（B）方便了WiML与会者继续参加主要会议的旅行。

This grant supports the annual workshop for Women in Machine Learning (WiML). WiML brings together female researchers in industry and academia, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from the machine learning community to exchange research ideas and build mentoring and networking relationships. The one-day workshop is especially beneficial for junior graduate students, giving them a supportive environment in which to present their research (in many cases, for the first time) and enabling them to meet peers and more senior researchers in the field of machine learning. The networking opportunities provided by the workshop have also helped senior graduate students find jobs following graduation. This workshop will foster collaboration within the machine learning community. Established researchers will expose workshop participants about cutting-edge ideas from diverse areas of machine learning. Students will present their own research and receive valuable feedback from both senior researchers and their peers. By enabling women at all stages of their careers in machine learning to exchange research ideas and form new relationships, we expect that new connections and research collaborations will be established, thereby advancing the state-of-the-art of the field. This workshop will provide a forum for female graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior and senior faculty, and industry and government research scientists to exchange research ideas and establish networking and mentoring relationships. Undergraduates, particularly those who are interested in pursuing graduate school or industry positions in machine learning, are also welcome to attend. Bringing together women from different stages of their careers gives established researchers the opportunity to act as mentors, and enables junior women to find female role models working in the field of machine learning. The workshop will also benefit the wider machine learning community: The WiML website includes a directory of over 400 women for organizations looking for female invited speakers. Co-locating with a major machine learning conference (a) enhances the visibility of the participants in he broader community and (b) facilitates travel for WiML attendees to stay on for the main conference.
