REU Site: Summer Research for Undergraduates in High Performance Data Mining

这个NSF REU项目将为8名有才华的本科生提供研究机会，他们将与格鲁吉亚州立大学的四名教师导师、来自格鲁吉亚理工学院的一名外部教师导师、来自McAfee和梭子鱼网络的两名工业导师以及研究生一起工作8周。这些团队将在生物信息学和网络安全的高性能数据挖掘方面进行实践研究项目。学生将从事研究项目工作，掌握专业的研究技能，并提交研究论文供真实的发表。暑期活动将包括参加学生数据挖掘比赛，如数据挖掘杯和加州大学圣地亚哥分校数据挖掘比赛。该项目从研究资源有限的小型学院招收学生。该项目将包括一个基于网络的学生数据挖掘俱乐部（一个全球学生数据挖掘电子社区），不仅可供REU学生使用，还可供其他对高性能数据挖掘研究及其应用感兴趣的学生使用。学生的研究和接触研究生、科学家、工程师和教职员工将提供探索广阔未来职业机会的机会。

This NSF REU project will provide research opportunities for 8 talented undergraduate students to spend 8 weeks working with four faculty mentors at Georgia State University, an outside faculty mentor from Georgia Tech, two industrial mentors from McAfee and Barracuda Networks, and graduate students. The teams will conduct hands-on research projects in high performance data-mining for bioinformatics and network security. The students will work on research projects to master professional research skills and submit research papers for real publications. Summer activities will include participation in student data mining competitions such as the Data Mining Cup and the UC San Diego Data Mining Contest. This project recruit students from small colleges with limited research resources. The project will include a web-based student data mining club (a global student data mining e-community) that can be used by not only the REU students but also other students interested in high performance data mining research and its applications. Opportunities to explore broad future career opportunities will be provided by the student's research and access to graduate students, scientists, engineers, and faculty members.
