Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2023 IEEE Conference on Secure and Trustworthy Machine Learning (IEEE SaTML)

这笔赠款将为15名美国研究生提供旅行支持，以参加IEEE安全和值得信赖的机器学习会议。本次会议是第一次独立的会议，将扩大对机器学习（ML）系统固有漏洞的理论和实践理解，探索ML算法和系统的鲁棒性，并帮助开发一个统一的科学社区，旨在创建值得信赖的ML系统。组织者将为代表性不足的团体，特别是妇女，少数民族和首次参加会议的人保留至少25%的旅行奖励。参加这样的会议是研究生院经验的一个极其重要的组成部分，提供了与更高级的研究人员互动的机会，并接触到该领域的前沿工作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant is to provide travel support for 15 United States-based graduate students to attend the IEEE Conference on Secure and Trustworthy Machine Learning. This conference represents the first stand-alone conference that will expand on the theoretical and practical understandings of the vulnerabilities inherent to machine learning (ML) systems, explore the robustness of ML algorithms and systems, and aid in developing a unified scientific community aimed at creating trustworthy ML systems. The organizers will reserve at least 25% of this travel award for underrepresented groups, particularly women, minorities, and for first-time conference attendees. Participation in such conferences is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and to be exposed to leading edge work in the field. The support will enable the participation of students who might otherwise be unable to attend the IEEE SaTML conference.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.
