Conference: Southern California Probability Symposium

该基金资助南加州概率研讨会，该会议将于2023年5月20日至21日在加州大学圣地亚哥分校举行。这是一个年度聚会的扩展版本，旨在为未来50年的南加州社区概率论和相关领域研究的重要展示奠定基础。该奖助金的主要目标是资助那些非本地且没有单独经费的全体会议演讲人的旅费和当地费用，以及来自南加州及附近地区最多24名与会者的旅费。该基金优先为早期职业研究人员和传统上在STEM领域代表性不足的研究人员提供参与性资助。本次会议的主要功能是促进和交流南加州概率界的研究思想。为期两天的会议包括5场杰出的全体会议。此外，还有来自南加州的早期职业研究人员的几场演讲，以及其他参与者（特别是研究生和博士后）的海报会议，以交流他们目前的工作。该日程安排旨在促进参与者之间的小组讨论和新的合作，增加该地区强大的概率社区的联系和研究成果。在一个越来越依赖数据和技术的世界里，随机性模型在科学的各个领域都发挥着核心作用，像这样的会议是未来几年在现实世界应用中取得进展的新途径的关键。研讨会的网站是https://scps.pstat.ucsb.edu/SCPS2023.htmlThis，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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，认为值得支持。

This grant funds the Southern California Probability Symposium, a conference at UC San Diego, May 20-21, 2023. It is an expanded version of an annual gathering, meant to set the stage for the next 50 years of this important showcase of research in probability theory and related fields in the Southern California community. The primary goal of the grant is to fund the travel and local expenses of those plenary speakers who are non-local and do not have separate funding, along with the travel expenses of up to 24 participants from Southern California and nearby areas. The funding prioritizes participant funding for early career researchers and researchers traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields. The principal function of this conference is the promotion and exchange of research ideas in the Southern California probability community. The two-day event features 5 distinguished plenary talks. Also featured are several talks by early career researchers from Southern California, and a poster session for other participants, especially graduate students and postdocs to communicate their current work. The schedule is designed to foster small group discussions and new collaborations among participants, growing the connections and research accomplishments of the strong probability community in the region. In a world that is ever more data and technology dependent, with models of randomness playing a central role in all parts of science, conferences like this are key to the development of new avenues for progress on real-world applications in the years to come.
