III: 2007 SIAM Data Mining (SDM 2007) Conference Student Travel Support

该奖项为大约15名美国研究生提供支持，参加2007年4月28日至4月30日在美国明尼阿波利斯举行的2007年SIAM数据挖掘会议（SDM 2007） （http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm07/）。该技术会议是展示数据挖掘领域新研究成果的首要场所，该领域的研究人员和从业人员广泛参加。参加这次会议对研究生的发展至关重要。参与者有机会展示他们的工作，参加小组讨论和主题会议，并与其他研究生以及数据挖掘领域的数百名其他主要研究人员进行互动。旅行支助的对象是论文已被接受的研究生，特别是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生，以提高他们的教育经验，促进数据挖掘研究领域的多样性。

This award provides support to approximately fifteen graduate students in theUnited States to attend the 2007 SIAM Conference on Data Mining (SDM 2007), held in Minneapolis, USA from April 28th to April 30th, 2007 (http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm07/). This technical conference is the premiere venue for presenting new research results in the area of data mining, and is widely attended by researchers and practitioners in the field.Attending this conference is of paramount importance for the development of graduate students. Participants have the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote sessions, and interact with other graduate students as well as hundreds of other leading researchers in the area of data mining. The travel support targets graduate students with accepted papers and in particular women and under-represented minority students in order to enhance their educational experience and foster diversity in the data mining research area.
