This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site will engage 10 undergraduate students per summer at the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies, a unique multidisciplinary research community that combines leading academic researchers in computer science, psychology, communications, cinematic arts, and medicine with the creative talents of Hollywood and the video game industry. Participants will be immersed in collaborative research teams focused on the institute's core theme of intelligent interactive experiences, with specific projects in natural language dialogue, affective computing, intelligent human perception, cognitive architecture, and learning sciences. These activities will be combined with weekly interactive seminars for training in best research practices, mentorship support, and peer feedback. The research projects will advance the state of the art for creating intelligent interactive experiences, with specific contributions in the areas of natural language dialogue, affective computing, intelligent human perception, cognitive architecture, and learning sciences. The techniques and technologies developed by the researchers create compelling synthetic environments and characters with immediate relevance to a broad range of application domains including training, education, rehabilitation, medicine, and entertainment. Engagement of undergraduate students in summer experiences that emphasize interdisciplinary research will broaden participation from underrepresented populations in computing and introduce undergraduate students to opportunities in science and engineering graduate programs. This effort has the potential to prepare undergraduates to perform independent research, thereby increasing enrollment and retention in computing doctoral programs.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.

这个本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站每年夏天将吸引南加州大学创意技术研究所的 10 名本科生，这是一个独特的多学科研究社区，汇集了计算机科学、心理学、通信、电影艺术和医学领域的领先学术研究人员拥有好莱坞和视频游戏行业的创意人才。参与者将沉浸在专注于该研究所智能交互体验核心主题的合作研究团队中，具体项目涉及自然语言对话、情感计算、智能人类感知、认知架构和学习科学。这些活动将与每周一次的互动研讨会相结合，以提供最佳研究实践、指导支持和同行反馈方面的培训。这些研究项目将推动创造智能交互体验的最先进水平，并在自然语言对话、情感计算、智能人类感知、认知架构和学习科学领域做出具体贡献。研究人员开发的技巧和技术创造了引人注目的合成环境和角色，与培训、教育、康复、医学和娱乐等广泛的应用领域直接相关。本科生参与强调跨学科研究的暑期体验将扩大计算机领域代表性不足的人群的参与，并为本科生提供科学和工程研究生课程的机会。这项工作有可能让本科生做好独立研究的准备，从而增加计算机博士课程的入学率和保留率。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
