Student Travel Support for the 2015 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining

2015年SIAM数据挖掘国际会议（SDM 2015）由工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）与美国统计协会合作举办。SDM 2015将于2015年4月30日至5月2日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行。这个顶级会议为研究数据挖掘问题的研究人员提供了一个在同行评议论坛上展示他们工作的场所。它被该领域的研究人员和实践者广泛参加。参加数据挖掘领域的重要研究会议是培养数据挖掘领域博士生的重要组成部分。SDM 2015博士学生论坛旨在为博士候选人提供一个展示他们工作的机会，并从数据挖掘领域的知名研究人员那里获得建设性的反馈和指导。这样的反馈和指导有望提高学生的论文研究质量。同样，获得旅行奖的学生将能够参加技术会议、全体会议、小组讨论、辅导和讲习班。他们将与来自其他大学的有着相似兴趣的同行以及来自世界各地的数百名领先的数据挖掘研究人员进行互动。这段经历将对他们未来的研究工作产生深远的影响。

The 2015 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM 2015) is being organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) in cooperation with the American Statistical Association. SDM 2015 will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on April 30th to May 2nd, 2015. This premier conference provides a venue for researchers who are addressing problems in data mining to present their work in a peer-reviewed forum. It is widely attended by researchers and practitioners in the field. Participation in premier research conferences in data mining is an integral component of the training of Ph.D. students in data mining. The SDM 2015 Ph.D. Student Forum is aimed at providing an opportunity for Ph.D. candidates to present their work and receive constructive feedback and mentoring from established researchers in data mining. Such feedback and mentoring is expected to improve the quality of the students' thesis research. Similarly, student recipients of a travel award will be able to attend technical sessions, plenary talks, panels, tutorials and workshops. They will interact with peers who share similar interests from other universities, as well as hundreds of leading researchers in data mining from around the world. This experience will be extremely formative and fruitful towards the shaping of their future research endeavors.
