This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) for approximately 5 graduate students from the United States, along with a panel of distinguished research faculty mentors. The event will take place in conjunction with (and on the first day of) the Tenth International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams (DIAGRAMS 2018), to be held June 18-22, 2018, at Edinburgh Napier University, UK, and which will be co-located with the 23rd InternationalConference on Conceptual Structures. Diagrams are wide-ranging and open-ended representations that include sketches, drawings, charts, pictures, 2D and 3D geometric models, and maps. They are a vital tool in human communication in areas such as art and science, as well as commerce and industry. A better understanding of how effective diagrams can be generated and used has the potential to produce transformative advances in these areas. DIAGRAMS is the only conference series that provides a forum for all aspects of research on the theory and application of diagrams. It is a bi-annual, international and interdisciplinary event whose goals are to present and discuss (a) state-of-the-art research on computational, cognitive and socio-cultural theories, models and techniques of reasoning with diagrammatic representations, and (b) cutting-edge intelligent and interactive information technologies for using diagrammatic representations in supporting human reasoning. Research topics include understanding diagrammatic reasoning in humans, understanding the use of diagrammatic representation for communication, developing techniques for automated diagrammatic reasoning, and designing tools for use of diagrammatic representations. The conference series is overseen by the DIAGRAMS Steering Committee with a rotating membership; more information is available at the conference website http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2018/. DIAGRAMS 2018 will significantly increase our understanding of diagrammatic reasoning in humans and machines, and will add momentum to the development of new information technologies for the use of diagrammatic representations in support of human reasoning. The conference will help develop human research capital by enabling interactions between senior and junior researchers and by catalyzing new collaborations. The Doctoral Consortium will increase the exposure and visibility of young graduate student researchers in these areas, and help train them by providing early input from senior researchers in the field in an interactive and constructive environment. The social network among this next generation of researchers, and the relationships with senior researchers, created by the workshop will play a critical role in their enculturation into the profession. Diversity of the selected students is a goal of the organizers, who will be proactive in an effort to ensure that both students and faculty are a diverse group across multiple dimensions including nationality, scientific discipline and gender. To further assure diversity, only one student will be selected from each educational institution, with preference given to students from underrepresented populations.The primary goal of the DIAGRAMS 2018 Doctoral Consortium is to increase the exposure and visibility of young graduate student researchers in these areas. The workshop will be a research-focused day-long meeting that affords participants an opportunity to present their work and get feedback from established researchers in the field, who will be present to comment on the young researchers' presentations in an informal and constructive environment. Each invited participant will have approximately half an hour for presentation of their research, that may include a short demonstration if appropriate, and which will be followed by discussion and critiquing. For some students, this may be their first opportunity to give a research talk outside their home institutions. Therefore, each student will be assigned a mentor (selected from the Program Committee), who will preview the student's presentation and offer suggestions for improvement as well as provide sample questions that may arise during the discussion. The Doctoral Consortium is open for attendance to all conference registrants, and summaries of the student presentations will be available on the conference website.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大约5名研究生的博士联盟（车间）以及杰出的研究教师小组的资金。该活动将与第十届图表理论与应用国际会议（2018年图表）结合（并在第一天）举行，将于2018年6月18日至22日在英国爱丁堡纳皮尔大学举行，并将与第23届国际概念结构共同关联。 图是广泛的和开放式的表示形式，包括草图，图纸，图表，图片，2D和3D几何模型以及地图。它们是艺术和科学以及商业和工业等领域的人类交流中的重要工具。更好地理解如何生成和使用有效图，有可能在这些领域产生变革性进步。图是唯一为图表理论和应用研究的各个方面提供论坛的唯一会议系列。这是一个两年一次的，国际和跨学科的事件，其目标是介绍和讨论（a）关于计算，认知和社会文化的最先进研究，具有图形表示的推理的模型和技术，以及（b）尖锐的智能和互动信息技术，用于支持人类理性的图表。研究主题包括了解人类中的示意性推理，了解使用图表代表来进行交流，开发用于自动示意性推理的技术以及设计用于使用图表表示的工具。会议系列由图表指导委员会监督，并由旋转会员资格进行；会议网站http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2018/可以提供更多信息。 2018年图将大大提高我们对人类和机器中的图解推理的理解，并将为使用图表代表的新信息技术增添动力，以支持人类的推理。该会议将通过实现高级和初级研究人员之间的互动以及催化新的合作来帮助发展人类研究资本。博士联盟将增加这些领域的年轻研究生研究人员的接触和知名度，并通过在互动和建设性的环境中提供该领域的高级研究人员的早期投入来帮助他们培训。下一代研究人员之间的社交网络以及由研讨会创建的高级研究人员的关系将在其为专业的文化中发挥关键作用。选定的学生的多样性是组织者的目标，他们将积极主动，以确保学生和教职员工都是一个多元化的群体，包括国籍，科学学科和性别。为了进一步确保多样性，每个教育机构只会选择一名学生，并且偏爱来自代表性不足的人群的学生。该图2018年博士联盟的主要目标是增加这些领域年轻的研究生研究人员的接触和知名度。该研讨会将是一个以研究为重点的一天的会议，为参与者提供了一个机会，有机会介绍他们的作品，并从该领域既定的研究人员那里获得反馈，他们将在非正式和建设性的环境中对年轻研究人员的演讲发表评论。每个受邀的参与者将有大约半小时的研究来介绍他们的研究，这可能包括适当的简短示范，随后将进行讨论和批评。对于某些学生来说，这可能是他们第一个在家庭机构之外进行研究演讲的机会。 因此，每个学生将被分配一名导师（从计划委员会中选择），他们将预览学生的演讲，并提供改进的建议，并提供讨论期间可能出现的样本问题。 博士联盟旨在向所有会议注册人出席，并将在会议网站上获得学生演讲的摘要。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和更广泛影响的评估评估标准的评估值得支持的。
