This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) of approximately 6 graduate students from U.S. educational institutions, along with unpaid senior members of the research community as mentors, to be held in conjunction with the thirteenth IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2018), which will take place May 15-19, 2018, in Xi'an, China. The IEEE FG conference is the premier international forum for research in image- and video-based face, gesture, and body movement recognition. Their broad scope includes new algorithms for computer vision, pattern recognition, and computer graphics, as well as machine learning techniques relevant to face, gesture and body motion for a variety of applications. The conferences present research that advances the state of the art in these and related areas, leading to new capabilities in interactive systems, biometrics, surveillance, healthcare, and entertainment, and they play an important role in shaping related scientific, academic, and educational programs. More information is available online at http://www.fg2018.org/. The Doctoral Consortium will provide an opportunity for Ph.D. students whose dissertations are on topics related to automatic face and gesture recognition to present their proposed research, and receive constructive feedback from an invited committee of faculty and industry researchers, as well as from other students working in these areas. The event will give students valuable exposure to outside perspectives of their work, and provide a comfortable forum in which to discuss and fine-tune their career objectives with members of the international research community, and identify areas that need further development. The workshop will also enable these young researchers to develop a network of contacts at a critical stage of their careers, and will foster a supportive community of scholars and spirit of collaborative research. The organizers will make a particular effort to recruit and include students from underrepresented groups (women and underrepresented minorities) and students from smaller schools or schools with less established computer vision research. They will also try to recruit a demographically diverse (in terms of region, type of employment and stage in career) group of mentors to advise these students.The Doctoral Consortium will be a half-day event during the conference. This year, there will be four distinct aspects to the event. First, each participant will be paired up with an invited faculty or industrial researcher who works in the related area and will act as their mentor both in the Doctoral Consortium and throughout the FG conference. Second, there will be a career panel during a working lunch where participants will have an opportunity to discuss their research and career objectives with other participants and mentors in an informal setting. Third, there will be a dedicated oral session for the students to present their research to the invited committee. Fourth, there will be a poster session for the students to present their work to all conference attendees. These four activities, taken together, will afford an excellent and structured way for students to communicate with other students as well as with established researchers of their related research community.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.

这是为了支持来自美国教育机构的大约6名研究生的博士联盟（研讨会），以及研究社区的无薪高级成员作为导师，将与第三届IEEE IEEE IEEE FACE and FACE and face and GETURE认可（FG 2018）共同举行，将于5月15-19日在2018年5月15-19日举行。 IEEE FG会议是基于图像和视频的面孔，手势和身体运动识别的主要国际研究论坛。 它们的广泛范围包括用于计算机视觉，模式识别和计算机图形的新算法，以及与面部，手势和身体运动有关的机器学习技术。 会议目前的研究在这些及相关领域的艺术状况提高了研究，从而在交互式系统，生物识别技术，监视，医疗保健和娱乐中获得了新的能力，并且它们在塑造相关的科学，学术和教育计划中起着重要作用。 更多信息，请访问http://www.fg2018.org/。 博士联盟将为博士提供机会。与自动面对面和手势认可有关的主题论文的学生可以介绍他们的拟议研究，并从受邀的教职员工和行业研究人员以及在这些领域工作的其他学生那里获得建设性的反馈。 该活动将使学生有价值地接触其作品的外部观点，并提供一个舒适的论坛，在该论坛上，与国际研究界成员讨论和调整他们的职业目标，并确定需要进一步发展的领域。研讨会还将使这些年轻的研究人员能够在职业生涯的关键阶段建立联系网络，并培养一个支持学者的支持社区和协作研究精神。 组织者将做出特别的努力来招募，并包括来自代表性不足的群体（妇女和代表性不足的少数民族）的学生，以及来自较小的学校的学生或研究计算机视觉研究较少的学校。 他们还将尝试招募一群导师团体的人口统计学多样化（就业方式和职业生涯中的阶段），以建议这些学生。博士联盟将是会议期间的半天活动。 今年，该活动将有四个不同的方面。 首先，每个参与者将与在相关领域工作的受邀教师或工业研究员配对，并将在博士财团和整个FG会议中担任他们的导师。 其次，在工作午餐期间将有一个职业小组，参与者将有机会与其他参与者和导师在非正式的环境中讨论他们的研究和职业目标。 第三，将有一个专门的口头课程，让学生向受邀委员会介绍他们的研究。 第四，将有一个海报会议，让学生向所有会议参与者展示他们的作品。 这四项活动共同提供了一种出色而结构化的方式，让学生与其他学生以及与其相关研究社区的知名研究人员进行交流。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来获得支持的。
