Supporting US-Based Students to Attend the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2013)

该奖项为参加2013年数据挖掘国际会议（ICDM 2013）的美国研究生提供旅费支持，该会议将于2013年12月9日至12日在德克萨斯州达拉斯举行。ICDM已成为世界上首屈一指的数据挖掘研究会议。过去，ICDM的参与者总数超过500人，其中大部分来自美国，其次是欧洲和亚洲。该奖项为参加ICDM会议和参加博士论坛的16名美国研究生提供旅行奖学金。ICDM为展示原创研究成果以及交流和传播创新和实用的发展经验提供了一个国际论坛。会议涵盖了数据挖掘的各个方面，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。会议论文集由IEEE出版。会议旨在不断推进数据挖掘的最新技术。随着Web、Internet和数据密集型技术（如传感器网络和生物信息学）的发展，数据挖掘已成为信息技术中一个极其重要的领域。除了技术项目，会议还包括研讨会、教程、小组讨论、数据挖掘竞赛。自2007年以来，会议包括了数据挖掘竞赛，自2011年以来，它还包括了一个博士论坛，提供了对初步研究方法和结果的宝贵反馈。在ICDM 2013中，美国研究人员，特别是研究生的强大代表对于保持美国的竞争力和在日益重要的领域培养下一代年轻研究人员至关重要。该奖项还有助于扩大妇女和代表性不足群体成员在数据挖掘研究中的参与。

This award provides travel support for U.S. based graduate student participants to attend the 2013 International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2013), which will be held in Dallas, Texas, from December 9-12, 2013. ICDM has established itself as the world's premier research conference in data mining. The total number of ICDM participants in the past has been in excess of 500, with a majority of the participants coming from the U.S., followed by Europe and Asia. The award provides travel scholarships to 16 U.S. based graduate student participants to attend the ICDM conference and participate in the Doctoral Forum.ICDM provides an international forum for presentation of original research results, as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative and 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 has become an extremely important area in information technology. Besides the technical program, the conference features workshops, tutorials, panels, data mining contest. Since 2007 the conference has included a data mining contest, and since 2011, it has also included a Ph.D. forum that provides valuable feedback on preliminary research methods and results.A strong representation of U.S. researchers, especially graduate students, in ICDM 2013 is critical for maintaining U.S. competitiveness and for nurturing the next generation of young researchers in an increasingly important area. The award also helps broaden the participation of women and members of underrepresented groups in data mining research.
