Student Travel Support for the 2014 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining

该奖项为大约24名研究生提供旅费支持，以参加由工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）与美国统计协会合作组织的2014年SIAM数据挖掘会议（SDM 2014）和相关的博士生论坛。SDM 2014将于4月24日至26日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行。12名学生将在博士论坛上发表论文，其中包括数据挖掘或密切相关领域的博士候选人的海报会议，这些博士生在博士候选资格方面取得了重大进展。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。此外，他们还将参加技术会议、全体会议以及他们选择的辅导课和讲习班。每位学生将被指派一名高级研究员，作为各种职业相关问题的导师。参加主要的研究会议是培养数据挖掘博士生的一个组成部分。SDM 2014博士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。数据挖掘在许多新兴的数据丰富的科学和应用领域中发挥着越来越重要的作用，如医疗信息学、生物信息学、计算生物学、链接分析、反恐和安全。SDM 2014博士生论坛将丰富学生研究人员在其职业生涯早期阶段的教育和培训。参加SDM 2014将使学生接触到各种领域的前沿研究和相关应用。旅行奖将有助于扩大妇女和代表性不足群体成员在数据挖掘研究界的参与。

This award provides travel support for approximately 24 graduate students to attend the 2014 SIAM Data Mining Conference (SDM 2014), and the associated Doctoral Student Forum, that is being organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) in cooperation with the American Statistical Association. SDM 2014 is being held April 24-26 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Twelve students will present at the Doctoral Forum consisting of a poster session for Ph.D. candidates in data mining or closely related areas 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. In addition, they will attend the technical sessions, plenary talks, and tutorials and workshops of their choice at the conference. Each student will be assigned a senior researcher to serve as a mentor on a variety of career-related issues.Participation in premier research conferences is an integral component of the training of Ph.D. students in data mining. The SDM 2014 Doctoral 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 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 future research endeavors.Data mining is playing an increasingly important role in many emerging data-rich sciences and application domains, such as healthcare informatics, bioinformatics, computational biology, link analysis, counterterrorism and security. The SDM 2014 Doctoral Student forum will enrich the education and training of student researchers at early stages in their careers. Attendance in SDM 2014 will expose students to cutting-edge research and to relevant applications in a variety of domains. The travel awards will help broaden the participation of women and members of under-represented groups within the Data Mining research community.
