III: Student Travel Fellowships for KDD 2016

该基金为参加第22届ACM SIGKDD知识发现和数据挖掘会议（KDD 2016）的美国研究生提供国内和国际旅行支持，该会议将于2016年8月13日至17日在美国加利福尼亚州旧金山举行。KDD就是世界？美国首屈一指的数据科学会议。这是一个跨学科的会议，每年汇集了来自数据挖掘、知识发现和大规模数据分析各个方面的约2000名研究人员和实践者。在会议上，美国研究人员，特别是学生的强大代表对于保持美国在这一重要领域的竞争力至关重要。会议是一个高度选择性的会议，包括评审论文的口头和海报展示，以及小组讨论和邀请主要专家的演讲。它提供了一个国际论坛，以介绍原始的研究成果，以及交流和传播创新和实际的发展经验。近年来，参加KDD的总人数已超过2200人，其中大多数来自美国，其次是欧洲和亚洲。在评选获奖者时，评选委员会将特别强调多样性。与其他STEM领域一样，增加KDD参与者的多样性是主要目标。

This grant provides domestic and international travel support for U.S. based graduate student participants to attend the 22nd ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD 2016), which will be held in San Francisco, CA, USA from August 13-17, 2016. KDD is the world?s premier conference in data science. It is an interdisciplinary conference that brings together ~2000 researchers and practitioners every year from all aspects of data mining, knowledge discovery, and large-scale data analytics. A strong representation of U.S. researchers, particularly students, at the conference is essential in maintaining U.S. competitiveness in this important area today and into the future.The conference is a highly selective meeting that includes oral and poster presentations of refereed papers as well as panel discussions and invited talks by the leading experts. It provides an international forum for presentation of original research results, as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative and practical development experiences. The total number of KDD participants in recent years has been in excess of 2200, with a majority of the participants being from the U.S., followed by Europe and Asia. For the selection of awardees, the selection committee will put particular emphasis on diversity. As in various STEM fields, increasing the diversity of participants at KDD is a primary goal.
