Supporting U.S.-Based Students to Attend the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2012)

支持美国学生参加2011年IEEE数据挖掘国际会议（ICDM 2012）该项目为在数据挖掘或相关领域攻读博士学位的研究生提供NSF学生旅行奖学金，以参加2012年12月10日至13日在比利时布鲁塞尔举行的2012年IEEE数据挖掘国际会议。将作出特别努力，吸引妇女和数据挖掘研究界代表性不足的群体的成员。NSF学生旅行奖获得者将能够参加SDM 2012的全体会议和专题演讲、研讨会和教程，以及博士论坛。博士论坛旨在让处于研究生涯早期阶段的博士生展示他们的工作，与来自其他大学的同行互动，并接受领先数据挖掘研究人员的一对一指导。知识价值。参加主要的研究会议是数据挖掘博士研究生的研究为基础的高级培训的一个重要组成部分。ICDM 2012博士生论坛为博士候选人提供了一个机会，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。这种互动有助于拓宽学生的培训，提高学生在其本国机构进行的论文研究的质量，并最终帮助他们做出明智的决定，促进他们的长期职业目标。更广泛的影响。数据挖掘在许多新兴的数据丰富的应用中发挥着越来越重要的作用，从计算生物学到计算机辅助发现和反恐工作。该奖项将有助于扩大数据挖掘研究界中女性和代表性不足的少数群体成员的代表性。它还有助于培训新一代科学家骨干，这些科学家配备了先进的工具，从数据中提取知识，这些数据在我们日益数字化、互联互通的世界中日益重要。

Supporting U.S.-Based Students to Attend the 2011 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2012)PI: Ding, Wei, University of Massachusetts Boston The project provides NSF Student Travel Fellowships to graduate students enrolled in Ph.D. programs in data mining or closely related areas to attend and participate in the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining in Brussels, Belgium, from December 10-13, 2012. Special efforts will be made to attract women and members of groups that are underrepresented within the data mining research community. The NSF student travel award recipients will be able to attend the plenary and contributed talks, workshops and tutorials that are part of SDM 2012, as well as a Doctoral Forum. The Doctoral Forum is designed to allow doctoral students who are at an early stage in their research careers to present their work, interact with their peers from other universities as well as receive one-on-one mentoring from leading data mining researchers. Intellectual Merit. Participation in premier research conferences is an essential component of research-based advanced training of Ph.D. students in data mining. The ICDM 2012 Doctoral Student Forum provides an opportunity for Ph.D. candidates to receive constructive feedback and mentoring from established researchers in data mining. Such interactions serve to broaden the training of students, enhance the quality of the dissertation research performed by the students at their home institutions, and ultimately, help them make informed decisions that advance their long-term career objectives. Broader Impact. Data mining is playing an increasingly important role in many emerging data-rich applications ranging from computational biology to computer-assisted discovery and counterterrorism efforts. The award will help broaden the representation of women and members of underrepresented minority groups within the Data Mining research community. It also contributes to the training of a cadre of new generation scientists equipped with sophisticated tools to extract knowledge from data in areas that are growing in importance in our increasingly digital, interconnected world.
