This award provides support for a 6-week program titled the Summer Geometry Institute (SGI), a workshop intended to introduce a broad pool of students to geometry processing research through immersive interaction with top researchers in the discipline. The Institute will be held July 19-August 28, 2021 online; more information can be found on its website (http://geometry.institute). Overall, SGI aims to accomplish the following objectives: (1) spark wide collaboration among students and researchers in geometry processing, (2) launch inter-university research projects in geometry processing involving team members across broad levels of seniority (undergraduate, graduate, faculty, industrial researcher), (3) introduce students to geometry processing research and development, and (4) diversify the "pipeline" of students entering geometry processing research, in terms of gender, race, socioeconomic background, and home institution. The first week of the Institute will train undergraduate and MS student participants on state-of-the-art techniques in geometry processing, intended as their first exposure to this discipline. Then, for the remaining weeks, student teams collaborate on research problems, with the goal of exploring directions suggested by senior attendees. Beyond these day-long interactions, visitors will give talks on frontier areas and lead relevant tutorials. The opportunity cost for students taking six weeks to participate will be covered by the workshop. As a discipline, geometry processing presents substantial theoretical challenges motivated by practical considerations of manufacturing/fabrication, computer vision, physical simulation, and high-performance computing. Participants will be exposed to---and will advance state-of-the-art in---technical problems ranging from the development of a toolkit for discrete differential geometry to the incorporation of probability/uncertainty in the shape processing pipeline. Participating in geometry processing research also gives mathematics students exposure to fields like differential geometry in a more tangible environment, coupled with computer visualizations and concrete applications with immediate impact. Our workshop is designed to make progress on several concrete challenges in geometry processing, including development of robust geometry processing algorithms, design of high-throughput shape analysis methods, design of sensible machine learning architectures for understanding and processing geometry built on foundations from differential/algebraic geometry, and extending machinery from geometry processing to higher-dimensional problems.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.

该奖项为题为“夏季几何学研究所（SGI）”的为期6周的计划提供了支持，该课程旨在通过与该学科的顶级研究人员的沉浸式互动来向几何学群体介绍几何学的研究。 该研究所将于2021年7月19日至8月28日在线举行；更多信息可以在其网站（http://geometry.institute）上找到。 Overall, SGI aims to accomplish the following objectives: (1) spark wide collaboration among students and researchers in geometry processing, (2) launch inter-university research projects in geometry processing involving team members across broad levels of seniority (undergraduate, graduate, faculty, industrial researcher), (3) introduce students to geometry processing research and development, and (4) diversify the "pipeline" of students entering geometry processing research,在性别，种族，社会经济背景和家庭机构方面。该研究所的第一周将培训本科生和MS学生参与者的几何处理技术最先进的技术，这是他们首次接触该学科。 然后，在剩下的几周内，学生团队就研究问题进行了合作，目的是探索高级与会者建议的指示。 除了这些为期一天的互动之外，游客还将在边境地区进行演讲，并领导相关的教程。 花费六个星期参加的学生的机会成本将由研讨会支付。 作为一门学科，几何处理提出了由制造/制造，计算机视觉，物理模拟和高性能计算的实际考虑的实质理论挑战。 参与者将暴露于---将促进---在----技术问题的最新技术问题，从开发用于离散差异几何的工具包到将概率/不确定性纳入形状处理管道。 参加几何处理研究还使数学学生在更明显的环境中接触诸如差异几何的领域，再加上计算机可视化和具有直接影响的混凝土应用。 我们的研讨会旨在在几何处理中的几个具体挑战上取得进展，包括开发可靠的几何处理算法，高通量形状分析方法的设计，设计明智的机器学习体系结构的设计，用于理解和处理从差异/代数的统计范围的基础上构建的基础上，从而从较高的机械进行统计，并扩展了较高的机器，以使陈述范围呈现，并延长了较高的陈述，并延长了多方面的问题。并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持的。
