Supporting US-Based Students to Attend the 2011 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2011)

这笔补助金为在美国的研究生参与者提供国际旅费，以参加2011年12月11日至14日在加拿大温哥华举行的2011年国际数据挖掘会议(http://icdm2011.cs.ualberta.ca/).ICDM已经确立了自己作为数据挖掘领域世界主要研究会议的地位。它为展示原创研究成果以及交流和传播创新的实际发展经验提供了一个国际论坛。会议涵盖了数据挖掘的方方面面，包括算法、软件和系统、应用以及数据管理、机器学习和生物信息学等相关领域。会议记录由IEEE出版。这次会议旨在不断推进数据挖掘的最新技术。随着Web、Internet以及传感器网络、生物信息学等数据密集型技术的发展，数据挖掘是信息技术中一个极其重要的领域。除了技术计划外，会议还包括研讨会、教程、小组讨论、数据挖掘竞赛，并从今年开始开设博士论坛。美国研究人员在会议上的强大代表有助于保持美国在这一重要领域的竞争力。过去ICDM的参与者总数已超过500人，其中大部分参与者来自美国，其次是欧洲和亚洲。预计它将为16名美国研究生提供奖学金。这笔助学金将部分用于支付美国研究生学员的旅费。有关博士论坛的更多信息，请访问http://icdm2011.cs.ualberta.ca/phd-forum.php.。奖项结果将在http://icdm2011.cs.ualberta.ca/travel-grants.php.上公布。

This grant provides international travel support for U.S. based graduate student participants to attend the 2011 International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2011), which will be held in Vancouver, Canada, on December 11-14, 2011 (http://icdm2011.cs.ualberta.ca/). ICDM has established itself as the world's premier research conference in data mining. It provides an international forum for presentation of original research results, as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative, practical development experiences. The conference covers all aspects of data mining, including algorithms, software and systems, and applications, as well as related areas such as data management, machine learning and bioinformatics. The conference proceedings are published by IEEE. The conference seeks to continuously advance the state-of-the-art in data mining. With the growth of the Web, the Internet, and data intensive technologies such as Sensor Networks, and Bioinformatics, Data Mining is an extremely important area in Information Technology. Besides the technical program, the conference features workshops, tutorials, panels, data mining contest, and starting this year, the Ph.D. forum.A strong representation of U.S. researchers at the Conference is useful in maintaining U.S. competitiveness in this important area. The total number of ICDM participants in the past has been in excess of 500, with a majority of the participants from the U.S., then Europe and Asia. It is expected to provide scholarships to 16 U.S. based graduate student participants. This grant will partially support the travel costs for the U.S. based graduate student participants. More information of the Ph.D. forum can be found at http://icdm2011.cs.ualberta.ca/phd-forum.php. The award results will be announced at http://icdm2011.cs.ualberta.ca/travel-grants.php.
