This is funding to provide financial support for up to 15 graduate students (all from U. S. universities and working towards either their Master's degree or a Doctorate) to attend the 2018 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2018), to be held March 7-11 in Tokyo, Japan, and to participate in a full-day Student Consortium (workshop) that will be held on March 9. Sponsored by ACM, the annual IUI conferences represent the growing interest in next-generation intelligent interactive user interfaces. Attracting 200-300 attendees, they are the premier forum where researchers from academia and industry worldwide who work at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) come together to exchange insights and to present outstanding research and applications whose goal is to make the computerized world a more amenable place. Unlike traditional AI the focus is not so much on making the computer smart all by itself, but rather on making the interaction between computers and people smarter; and unlike traditional HCI, there is a focus on solutions that involve large amounts of knowledge and emerging technologies such as natural language understanding, brain-computer interfaces, and gesture recognition. To this end, IUI encourages contributions not only from computer science but also from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, the arts, etc. IUI 2018 will be the 23rd conference in the series; more information about the conference is available online at http://iui.acm.org/2018. This funding will enable attendance at the IUI conference by students who might otherwise be unable to do so for financial reasons. It will enhance the educational experience of funded participants, by bringing them into contact with leading researchers in the field and by exposing them to the lively discussion during the course of the conference that often leads to opportunities for career advancement. The quality of the conference itself will be enhanced as well, thanks to a broadening of the base of institutions represented and increased diversity of participants. The rich exchange of ideas at IUI has previously proven to be a valuable source of ideas for future research, as well as leading to collaborative efforts; this funding will extend the opportunities for collaboration and provide intellectual stimulus to programs that have previously sent few or no representatives to this conference. The organizing committee has undertaken to proactively recruit student participants from schools that have not traditionally been well represented in the IUI community. Women and students who are members of underrepresented groups will be particularly encouraged to participate. To further assure diversity, no more than two students will be accepted from any given institution.The IUI 2018 Student Consortium will build on the success of previous such events. The heart of the Consortium will be a full-day workshop on March 9. Student trainees will be afforded exposure to their new research community by giving a 20-30 presentation on their work and receiving feedback from peers and a panel of senior researchers. A group lunch and dinner will encourage social interaction among the student cohort and informal personal interaction with the mentors. The students' work will also be featured during the main conference in a poster session, where they will gain additional experience explaining their work to others in the field.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.

这是为了为多达15名研究生（来自美国大学的全部和硕士学位或博士学位）提供财政支持，以参加2018年3月7日至11日在日本东京，日本，日本举行的2018年国际智能用户界面国际会议（IUI 2018），并参加了一年的全日制学生会（Workshop）。下一代智能交互式用户界面。 他们吸引了200-300名与会者，他们是一个主要的论坛，在该论坛上，来自学术界和全球行业的研究人员在人力计算机互动（HCI）和人工智能（AI）的交集中工作，共同交流洞察力，并提出出色的研究和应用，其目标是使计算机化的世界变得更加不适。 与传统的AI不同，重点不是使计算机本身使计算机变得聪明，而是要使计算机与人之间的互动更聪明。与传统的HCI不同，涉及大量知识和新兴技术（例如自然语言理解，脑部计算机界面和手势识别）的解决方案。为此，IUI不仅鼓励计算机科学的贡献，还鼓励相关领域的贡献，例如心理学，行为科学，认知科学，计算机图形，设计，艺术等。IUI2018将是该系列的第23届会议；有关会议的更多信息，请访问http://iui.acm.org/2018。 这笔资金将使学生能够参加IUI会议，否则他们可能由于经济原因而无法这样做。 它将通过使资助参与者与该领域的主要研究人员接触并在会议期间将他们暴露于活泼的讨论中，从而增强资助参与者的教育经验，这些研究经验通常会带来职业发展的机会。 由于代表参与者多样性的机构基础的扩大，会议本身的质量也将得到提高。 IUI的丰富思想交流以前已被证明是未来研究的宝贵思想来源，并导致了协作努力。这项资金将扩大合作的机会，并为以前几乎没有或没有代表参加本次会议的计划提供智力刺激。 组织委员会已承诺积极招募来自IUI社区传统上没有很好代表的学校的学生参与者。 特别鼓励是代表性不足的群体成员的妇女和学生参加。 为了进一步确保多样性，任何给定机构都将接受不超过两名学生。IUI2018学生财团将以先前此类事件的成功为基础。 该财团的核心将是3月9日的整天研讨会。学生学员将通过以20-30的介绍并收到同龄人和高级研究人员小组的反馈来向他们的新研究社区接触。 小组午餐和晚餐将鼓励学生队列之间的社交互动以及与导师的非正式个人互动。 在海报会议上的主要会议上，学生的工作也将出现，他们将获得其他经验，向现场的其他人解释他们的作品。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
