Travel: NSF Student and Researcher Travel and Registration Grant for 2023 NITRD/SEI Workshop on US Leadership in Software Engineering and AI Engineering

这笔赠款支持参加2023年NITRD/SEI关于美国在软件工程和人工智能工程方面的领导力的2023年研讨会的旅费，该研讨会将于2023年6月20日至21日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市举行。研讨会汇集了政府机构、学术界和工业界，提出并讨论了加快人工智能系统软件工程进展的想法。研讨会将是一个论坛，讨论人工智能和软件工程交叉领域的国家需求和研发优先事项。美国的竞争力取决于学习/知道如何高效和多产地构建人工智能系统，以便它们能够履行预期的功能以满足要求。人工智能系统对构建可靠、可验证、可生产和可维护的系统提出了新的挑战。人工智能系统的构建者将需要能够设计、构建、维护和发展人工智能系统。软件工程研究人员将需要在验证、测试、配置等领域开发新的概念和能力。人工智能系统的日益流行和最近的发展(如ChatGPT)使得有必要对深度学习、大型语言模型和其他正在嵌入到日常软件密集型系统中的技术有更深入的理解。将撰写并公开一份报告，以传播研讨会的结果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant supports travel to attend the 2023 NITRD/SEI Workshop on US Leadership in Software Engineering and AI Engineering, taking place in Alexandria, Virginia on June 20-21, 2023. The workshop brings together government agencies, academia and industry to present and discuss ideas for accelerating progress on the Software Engineering of AI Systems. The workshop will be a forum to discuss national needs and R&D priorities in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering. US competitiveness depends on learning/knowing how to build AI systems efficiently and productively and so that they perform their intended functions to meet requirements.AI systems present new challenges for building systems that are reliable, verifiable, producible and maintainable. Builders of AI systems will need to be able to design, build, sustain and evolve AI systems. Software Engineering researchers will need to develop new notions and capabilities in areas of verifications, testing, configuration, etc. The increasing prevalence of AI systems, and recent developments (such as ChatGPT) make it necessary to gain a deeper understanding of deep learning, large language models, and other technologies that are becoming embedded in everyday software-intensive systems. A report will be written and made publicly available to disseminate the results of the workshop.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.
