Broadening Participation in Data Mining Workshop

2012年扩大数据挖掘参与研讨会（BPDM 2012）将是数据挖掘领域的第一个此类研讨会，专门为数据挖掘中代表性不足的群体提供指导、指导和联系，同时也丰富技术能力和曝光率。该研讨会将与2012年SIAM数据挖掘国际会议（SDM 2012）共同主办，该会议是数据挖掘领域的主要会议之一。本提案讨论了来自代表性不足群体的学生参加研讨会和会议的出勤率和经济支持。会议为在科学、工程、工业过程、医疗保健、商业和医学等领域解决数据挖掘问题的学生和研究人员提供了一个场所，在同行评议的论坛上展示他们的工作。它还为学生和其他新到该领域的人提供了一个理想的环境，通过听取杰出的受邀演讲者和参加演讲、教程和重点研讨会来了解前沿研究。这些资金将使学生们能够参加研讨会和会议的其余部分。

The 2012 Broadening Participation in Data Mining Workshop (BPDM 2012) will be the first workshop of its kind in data mining designed specifically to foster mentorship, guidance, and connections of underrepresented groups in data mining, while also enriching technical aptitude and exposure. The workshop will be co-hosted with the 2012 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM 2012), one of the premier conferences in the field of Data Mining. This proposal discusses the attendance and financial support of students from underrepresented groups to the workshop, as well as, to the conference. The conference provides a venue for students and researchers who are addressing data mining problems in areas such as science, engineering, industrial processes, healthcare, business, and medicine, to present their work in a peer-reviewed forum. It also provides an ideal setting for students and others new to the field to learn about cutting-edge research by hearing outstanding invited speakers and attending presentations, tutorials, and focused workshops. The funds will enable the students to attend both the workshop and the remainder of the meeting.
