This grant partially supports the participation of students from US institutions in the Doctoral Consortium at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2016. CVPR is the premier annual international conference in computer vision with about 2000 senior, junior, and student participants. The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to highlight the work of senior PhD students who are within six months of receiving their degrees (including recent graduates), and to give these students an opportunity to discuss their research and career options with faculty and researchers who have relevant expertise and experience. The Doctoral Consortium supports the career development of some of the brightest junior researchers in computer vision, contributes to the research community in general by drawing attention to an important aspect of graduate student development, potentially increases the number of active researchers and educators in STEM, and ensures that the computer vision community, through its recent graduates, makes fast advances in solving problems. NSF support covers some of the costs for 20 selected US-based graduate students to attend the CVPR 2016 conference and the Doctoral Consortium associated with it. Participants and recipients of travel support are selected by the 2016 CVPR organizing committee, with the logistics managed by the PI. The Doctoral Consortium provides opportunities for graduate students to receive advice on their research work and career plans from experts from different institutions, and with potentially different perspectives, is often not available internally at one's own institution. This year's Doctoral Consortium features two new components which aim to address comments from last year's participants. These components are a panel discussion and more interaction with mentors. The Doctoral Consortium helps graduating students in computer vision find the best career options for their talents and achieve their potential, thus benefiting the computer vision field and society as a whole.

这笔赠款部分支持来自美国院校的学生参加 IEEE 计算机视觉和模式识别会议 (CVPR) 2016 博士联盟。CVPR 是计算机视觉领域首屈一指的年度国际会议，约有 2000 名高年级、低年级和学生参与者。博士联盟的目标是突出获得学位后六个月内的高年级博士生（包括应届毕业生）的工作，并让这些学生有机会与拥有博士学位的教师和研究人员讨论他们的研究和职业选择。相关的专业知识和经验。博士联盟支持计算机视觉领域一些最聪明的初级研究人员的职业发展，通过引起人们对研究生发展的一个重要方面的关注，为整个研究界做出贡献，有可能增加 STEM 领域活跃的研究人员和教育工作者的数量，以及确保计算机视觉社区通过其应届毕业生在解决问题方面取得快速进展。 NSF 的支持涵盖了 20 名选定的美国研究生参加 CVPR 2016 会议以及与之相关的博士联盟的部分费用。旅行支持的参与者和接受者由 2016 CVPR 组委会选出，后勤由 PI 管理。博士联盟为研究生提供了从不同机构的专家那里获得有关其研究工作和职业规划的建议的机会，这些专家可能具有不同的观点，而这些建议在自己的机构内部往往是无法获得的。今年的博士联盟有两个新组成部分，旨在解决去年参与者的意见。这些组成部分是小组讨论和与导师的更多互动。博士联盟帮助计算机视觉专业的毕业生找到最适合自己才能的职业选择并发挥他们的潜力，从而造福计算机视觉领域和整个社会。
