This project provides support for about 25 U.S.-based graduate students to participate in the 47th ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR 2024), which will be held in Washington, D.C., July 14-18, 2024. SIGIR is the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval. The SIGIR conference has been promoting research, development, and education in search and other information access technologies. It is the major international forum for the presentation, demonstration, and dissemination of new research, new systems, and new techniques in the broad field of information retrieval. The conference is a highly selective meeting that includes oral and poster presentations of refereed papers as well as panel discussions and invited talks by leading experts from industry and academia. The conference covers all aspects of information retrieval research, including theories and foundations, algorithms and applications, evaluation and analysis, and humans and societal impacts. The conference this year will continue these main themes in information retrieval studies. In addition, this year’s conference will feature special themes including (1) new perspectives on information retrieval inspired by recent advances in generative AI techniques such as large language models; (2) information retrieval research enterprise and infrastructure sponsored by various U.S. government agencies located around Washington, D.C.A strong representation of U.S. students and researchers at the conference is essential in maintaining U.S. competitiveness in this important area today and into the future. The selection of Student Travel Grant awardees will put emphasis on the diversity of the students. As in various STEM fields, increasing the diversity of participants at SIGIR is a primary goal. By providing these travel awards, the conference hopes to attract the attendance of a larger number of female students as well as students from other underrepresented groups. This project aims to help U.S.-based students overcome financial barriers that may prevent them from attending the conference. The award will be advertised through various channels including the SIGIR 2024 website (https://sigir-2024.github.io/) and social media platforms.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.

该项目为大约25名美国研究生提供了支持，以参加第47届ACM SIGIR信息检索研究与开发会议（Sigir 2024），该会议将于2024年7月14日至18日在华盛顿特区举行。 Sigir会议一直在促进搜索和其他信息访问技术中的研究，开发和教育。它是在广泛的信息检索领域的新研究，新系统和新技术的演示，演示和传播的主要国际论坛。会议是一次高度选择性的会议，包括参考论文的口头和海报演讲，以及小组讨论和行业和学术界的主要专家的邀请演讲。会议涵盖了信息检索研究的各个方面，包括理论和基础，算法和应用，评估和分析以及人类和社会影响。今年的会议将在信息检索研究中继续这些主要主题。此外，今年的会议将以特殊主题为特殊主题，包括（1）有关信息检索的新观点，其灵感来自于通用AI技术（例如大语言模型）的最新进展； （2）信息检索研究企业和基础设施由位于华盛顿特区各地的各个美国政府机构赞助的美国学生和研究人员在会议上的强有力代表在当今和未来的这一重要领域中保持美国的竞争力至关重要。学生旅行赠款奖的选择将重点放在学生的多样性上。与各种茎场一样，增加Sigir参与者的多样性是一个主要目标。通过提供这些旅行奖，会议希望吸引更多女学生以及其他代表性不足的学生的出席。该项目旨在帮助美国的学生克服财务障碍，以阻止他们参加会议。该奖项将通过各种渠道进行宣传，包括Sigir 2024网站（https://sigir-2024.github.io/）和社交媒体平台。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来诚实地支持。
