Student Travel Support for 2019 ACM International Conference on Multimedia (ACM MM)

这项学生旅行补助金支持约10名在美国机构就读的研究生/本科生参加将于2019年10月21日至25日在法国尼斯举行的第27届年度ACM多媒体会议2019（ACM MM 2019）。这是世界范围内的首要会议，也是展示和讨论多媒体计算领域的科学成就和创新工业产品的重要世界事件。参加这样的活动可以让学生学习/体验创新研究，发展专业网络，并与参与实际应用和技术转让的行业和学术界领导人互动。这个机会将广泛传播到技术界;来自代表性不足群体的学生将特别鼓励申请。在ACM多媒体2019的积极参与将是宝贵的学生为他们的研究生涯的成功做好准备。最终，美国的参与-学生将支持下一代多媒体研究人员的发展，并培养美国的竞争力。 ACM Multimedia涵盖广泛的技术领域，包括：了解（多媒体和视觉，多模态分析和描述，多媒体深度学习）;参与（多媒体中的情感和社会信号，多媒体搜索和推荐，社交多媒体，多媒体艺术，娱乐和文化）;和经验（多媒体人机交互和体验质量，多媒体艺术，娱乐和文化，教育和分布式环境中的多媒体协作，多媒体中的音乐、语音和音频处理）。支持的学生将大大受益于参加会议，在那里他们将与来自不同学科的研究领导者互动，并将接触到多媒体研究的最新发展，如主题演讲，最新技术论文，技术演示，大挑战比赛，开源软件比赛，博士研讨会，以及一个互动艺术项目，激励艺术家和计算机科学家会面，共同发现有效通信的前沿。此外，每个受支持的学生将与一位资深导师配对，后者将与学生进行一对一的交流，并就加强他们目前的研究工作以及更广泛的未来研究议程向他们提供建议。这将确保学生将积极参与，并将获得宝贵的建议。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This student travel grant supports about 10 graduate/undergraduate students enrolled in U.S. institutions to attend the 27th annual ACM Multimedia Conference 2019 (ACM MM 2019) to be held in Nice, France, October 21-25, 2019. This is the worldwide premier conference and a key world event to present and discuss scientific achievements and innovative industrial products in the field of multimedia computing. Participation in such an event allows students to learn/experience innovative research, develop professional networks, and interact with industry and academia leaders involved in practical applications and technology transfer. The opportunity will be broadcast widely to the technical community; students from underrepresented groups will be particularly encouraged to apply. The active participation in ACM Multimedia 2019 will be valuable for students to prepare for the success of their research career. Ultimately, the participation by U.S.-based students will support development of the next generation multimedia researchers and foster US competitiveness. ACM Multimedia covers a broad spectrum of technical areas, including: Understanding (Multimedia and Vision, Multimodal Analysis and Description, Deep Learning for Multimedia); Engagement (Emotional and Social Signals in Multimedia, Multimedia Search and Recommendation, Social Multimedia, Multimedia Art, Entertainment and Culture); and Experience (Multimedia human-computer interaction and Quality of Experience, Multimedia Art, Entertainment and Culture, Multimedia for Collaboration in Education and Distributed Environments, Music, Speech and Audio Processing in Multimedia). The supported students will greatly benefit from participating in the conference, where they will interact with research leaders from a variety of disciplines and will be exposed to the most recent developments in multimedia research as showcased in keynote addresses, latest technical papers, technical demos, grand challenge competition, open source software competition, doctoral symposium, and also an interactive art program stimulating artists and computer scientists to meet and discover together the frontiers of effective communications. Further, each supported student will be paired with a senior mentor who would spend one-on-one time with the student and advise them on strengthening their current research work as well as their broader future research agenda. This will ensure that students will be actively engaged and will receive valuable advice.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.
