NSF Student Travel Grant for 2019 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM)

SIAM（工业与应用数学学会）数据挖掘国际会议（SDM）是数据挖掘领域的顶级会议之一。它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。博士论坛由海报会议组成，面向数据挖掘或密切相关领域的博士候选人或在博士候选方面取得重大进展的博士生。博士生论坛的参与者将能够展示他们的工作，与来自其他大学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。每位参加博士论坛的学生将被指派一名高级研究员担任各种职业相关问题的导师，他们还可以参加会议的技术会议、全体会议、辅导课和研讨会，以接触数据挖掘研究的前沿。为了鼓励博士生的参与，并表彰博士生在数据挖掘领域的杰出论文研究，SDM 2019将为SDM 2019博士论坛上的最佳海报颁发奖项。2019年SIAM数据挖掘国际会议（SDM 2019）由工业与应用数学学会与美国统计协会合作举办。SDM 2019将于2019年5月2日至5月4日在加拿大阿尔伯塔省卡尔加里举行。该基金为来自美国大学的约10名研究生参加SDM 2019提供旅行支持，并为来自美国机构的约16名博士候选人提供旅行支持，参加将作为SDM 2019的一部分举行的博士论坛。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) International Conference on Data Mining (SDM) is one of the top-tier conferences in the field of data mining. It provides a venue for researchers who are addressing problems in data mining to present their work in a peer-reviewed forum. The doctoral forum consists of a poster session for Ph.D. candidates in data mining or closely related areas or Ph.D. students who have made significant progress towards Ph.D. candidacy. The Ph.D. student forum participants will be able to present their work, interact with their peers from other universities as well as hundreds of leading researchers in data mining from around the world. Each student participant in the Doctoral Forum will be assigned a senior researcher to serve as a mentor on a variety of career-related issues and they also can attend the technical sessions, plenary talks, and tutorials and workshops at the conference to touch the frontier of data mining research. To encourage doctoral student participation and to recognize outstanding dissertation research in data mining being conducted by Ph.D. students, SDM 2019 will have awards for the best posters presented at the SDM 2019 Doctoral Forum.The 2019 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM 2019) is being organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in cooperation with the American Statistical Association. SDM 2019 will be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada from May 2 to May 4, 2019. Funds provide travel support for approximately 10 graduate students from universities in the United States to attend SDM 2019 and to provide travel support for approximately 16 Ph.D. candidate from institutions in the United States to participate in a Doctoral Forum that is to be held as part of SDM 2019.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
