Doctoral Student Forum and Student Travel at the 2011 SIAM Data Mining Conference; Phoenix, AZ

2011年SIAM数据挖掘(SDM 2011)会议由工业和应用数学学会(SIAM)与美国统计协会合作举办。SDM 2011将于2011年4月28日至4月30日在美国凤凰城举行。这次会议是正在研究数据挖掘问题的研究人员在同行评议的论坛上展示他们工作的首要场所。它受到了该领域的研究者和实践者的广泛关注。为参加2011年可持续发展管理和参加作为可持续发展管理2011年一部分而举办的博士生论坛的美国大学约16名博士生提供旅费。请拨经费，为大约15名来自美国大学的研究生提供参加2011年可持续发展管理课程的旅费。将特别努力吸引妇女或属于目前在数据挖掘研究界代表性不足的少数群体的候选人。参加高质量的研究会议是数据挖掘及相关领域博士生培训的一个组成部分。SDM 2011博士生论坛旨在为博士生提供展示他们的工作的机会，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。这样的反馈和辅导有望提高学生的论文研究质量。同样，获得旅行奖励的学生将能够参加技术会议、全体讲座、小组讨论、教程和研讨会。他们将与其他大学有着相似兴趣的同行以及来自世界各地的数百名数据挖掘领域的顶尖研究人员进行互动。数据挖掘在许多新兴的数据丰富的科学和应用领域发挥着越来越重要的作用，如生物信息学、计算生物学、链接分析、反恐和安全。SDM 2011博士生论坛将丰富学生研究人员在职业生涯早期的教育和培训。对于统计学专业的学生来说尤其如此，因为传统上在统计学领域，会议发布被认为不如在计算机科学领域那么重要。在这项活动中体验和接受指导有可能改变文化，改善统计学与计算机科学和工程学之间的整体交流，而这一领域位于两者之间的边界。学生论坛和旅行奖项也将有助于扩大妇女和数据挖掘研究界中代表性不足的少数群体成员的代表性。

The 2011 SIAM Data Mining (SDM 2011) Conference is being organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) in cooperation with the American Statistical Association. SDM 2011 will be held in Phoenix (AZ), USA from April 28th to April 30, 2011. This conference is the foremost 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. Funds are sought to provide travel support for approximately 16 Ph.D. students from universities in the United States to attend SDM 2011 and to participate in a Ph.D. student forum that is to be held as part of SDM 2011. Funds are requested to provide travel support for approximately 15 graduate students from universities in the United States to attend SDM 2011. Special efforts will be made to attract candidates who are women or belong to minority groups that are currently under-represented within the data mining research community.Participation in high quality research conferences is an integral component of the training of Ph.D. students in data mining and related fields. The SDM 2011 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, students recipient 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 Data mining is playing an increasingly important role in many emerging data-rich sciences and application domains, such as bioinformatics, computational biology, link analysis, counter-terrorism and security. The SDM 2011 Ph.D. student forum will enrich the education and training of student researchers at early stages in their careers. This is especially true for statistics students, since traditionally in statistics, conference publishing is considered less important than it is for instance in computer science. Experiencing and being mentored in this activity has the potential of culture shift, of improving overall communication between statistics and computer science and engineering, in a domain that lies at the boundary between the two. Both the student forum and travel awards will also help broaden the representation of women and members of underrepresented minority groups within the Data Mining research community.
