Doctoral Consortium at the 2020 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2020)

该补助金支持学生旅行选择学生参加博士生导师联盟（DMC）在人工智能国际联合会议（IJCAI），将于2020年7月11日至17日在日本横滨举行。这是人工智能研究人员在一个完全国际化的研究社区的首要国际会议。这项活动将汇集人工智能领域的广泛研究人员，并在这个关键的职业早期阶段为初级研究人员提供支持。DMC为那些由于缺乏资源而可能没有参加AI会议的参与者创造了机会。对于那些在较小的机构和那些人工智能程序不太发达的机构来说，尤其如此。吸引这些参与者有可能吸引更多的人才进入人工智能研究，在形成阶段改进研究思路，并在学科范围内开展合作。该活动为学生提供了宝贵的机会，让他们在研究的关键时刻接触到外部对他们工作的观点，并使他们能够探索自己的职业目标。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为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来支持。

This grant supports student travel for select students to participate in the Doctoral Mentoring Consortium (DMC) at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) that will be held in Yokohama, Japan, July 11--17, 2020. This is the premier international conference for researchers in artificial intelligence research across a fully international research community. This activity will bring together a broad community of researchers in the field of AI and support junior researchers at this critical early-career stage. The DMC creates the opportunity to bring in participants who might not have attended an AI conference due to lack of resources. This is especially true for those at smaller institutions and those which have less developed AI programs. Engaging such participants has the potential to draw more talent into AI research, improve research ideas in their formative stage, and engender collaborations across the breadth of disciplines. This event provides students with invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work at a critical time in their research and enables them to explore their career objectives.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.
