Student Support for the 18th International Conference of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, 2021

该补助金支持学生旅行选择学生参加博士指导联盟（DMC）在知识表示和推理（KRR）的国际会议将在河内，越南11月6日至12日，2021年。这是人工智能（AI）研究人员在一个完全国际化的研究社区中日益增长的国际会议。这项活动将汇集KRR领域的广泛研究人员，并在这个关键的职业生涯早期阶段支持初级研究人员。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 Conference of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) that will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam November 6-12, 2021. This is the growing international conference for researchers in artificial intelligence (AI) research across a fully international research community. This activity will bring together a broad community of researchers in the field of KRR 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.
