This grant provides funding to involve graduate students in the relatively new and innovative annual meeting on recommender systems of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an area of currently great and rapid development in computer and information science. Recommender systems are information systems, often associated with major commercial websites, that advise customers and other users about products such as books or movies, on the basis of their own past choices and the choices of other users who have similar preferences. Following up on previous successful workshops and conferences on recommender systems, the research community has taken the lead in creating an ACM sponsored conference in the field. To be held October 19-20 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it will feature a peer-reviewed research program (with both a printed proceedings and publication in the ACM Digital Library) and an industry program, to better bring together the experiences and needs of industry practice and academic research. Presentations of full papers, posters, and demonstrations will make up the main body of the conference. The Doctoral Consortium component of the conference will be held on October 18. Between six and eight advanced graduate students will present their research and receive feedback from faculty and fellow students. This doctoral consortium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in this field, by providing them an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior members of the research community. It will further help foster a sense of community among these young researchers, by allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development.

这笔赠款提供资金让研究生参加计算机协会 (ACM) 推荐系统相对较新和创新的年会，这是当前计算机和信息科学快速发展的一个领域。 推荐系统是一种信息系统，通常与主要商业网站相关联，它根据客户和其他用户自己过去的选择以及具有类似偏好的其他用户的选择，向他们提供有关书籍或电影等产品的建议。 继之前成功举办的推荐系统研讨会和会议之后，研究界率先在该领域创建了 ACM 赞助的会议。会议将于 10 月 19 日至 20 日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市举行，其中包括同行评审研究项目（包括印刷会议记录和 ACM 数字图书馆出版物）和行业项目，以更好地汇集行业经验和需求实践和学术研究。全文展示、海报和演示将构成会议的主体。会议的博士联盟部分将于 10 月 18 日举行。六到八名高级研究生将展示他们的研究成果，并接受教师和同学的反馈。 该博士联盟将帮助扩大在该领域攻读研究生的年轻研究人员的参与，为他们提供在社区中获得更广泛的创新工作机会，并获得研究社区高级成员的反馈和指导的机会。它将进一步帮助这些年轻研究人员建立社区意识，让他们在自己之间以及在专业发展的关键阶段与高级研究人员建立社交网络。
