Funding Support for US Students Attending KDD 2011

该项目支持研究生参加ACM关于知识发现和数据挖掘的SIGKDD会议(KDD 2011)。具体地说，该项目支持因经济原因而可能无法参加会议的学生参加会议。学生旅行奖学金的获得者将有机会参加会议，有关新兴研究主题的相关研讨会和教程，以及一个博士联盟，该联盟为学生提供一对一讨论的场所，并接受数据挖掘、机器学习和相关主题方面的一些领先研究人员的指导。该项目提供了研究和教育的自然结合，并有助于在一个不仅在计算机科学而且在各种数据驱动的学科中日益重要和有影响的领域培训新一代研究人员。

The project supports graduate student participation in the ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD 2011). Specifically, the project supports travel to the conference for students who might not otherwise be able to attend the conference because of financial reasons. The recipients of student travel fellowships will have an opportunity to attend the conference, associated workshops and tutorials on emerging research topics, as well as a doctoral consortium that provides a venue for the students to have one-on-one discussions and receive mentoring from some of the leading researchers in data mining, machine learning, and related topics. The project offers natural integration of research and education and contributes to the training of a new generation of researchers in an area of growing importance and impact in not only Computer Science but also a variety of data-driven disciplines.
