CIF: Student Conference Travel Support for the 2018 North American School of Information Theory

IEEE北美信息理论学院是IEEE信息理论学会的年度活动。2018年是这项赛事的第11个年头。学院提供了一个支持性的环境，为学习和未来长期的科学合作奠定了基础。该学院为数学、工程和计算机科学方面的研究生提供互动教育。它为学生提供了会见和学习来自学术界和产业界的高级研究人员的机会，他们提供了长格式的教程。此外，学生和博士后参与者有机会在海报会议上展示他们自己的研究成果。IEEE信息理论学会Padovani讲座在该校举行。IEEE北美信息理论学院每年由不同的机构主办，目的是增加参与者的地理多样性。最近学校的学生出勤率从40人到80人不等。旅行津贴扩大了学生在工作场所的参与。这一奖励反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The IEEE North American School for Information Theory is an annual event of the IEEE Information Theory Society. 2018 marks the eleventh year of the event. The School provides a supportive environment where foundations for learning and long-term future scientific collaborations are established. The School delivers interactive education for graduate students in the mathematical, engineering, and computer sciences. It presents students the opportunity to meet with and learn from senior researchers from academia and industry who present long-format tutorials. In addition, student and post-doc participants have the opportunity to present their own research results in poster sessions. The IEEE Information Theory Society Padovani Lecture is delivered at the school.The IEEE North American School for Information Theory is hosted by different institutions each year, with the intent of increasing the geographic diversity of the participants. Student attendance at recent schools has varied from 40 to 80 student participants. Travel grants broaden the participation of students at the workshop.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
