Support for Doctoral Students from U.S. Universities to Attend the 11th International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2018)

该奖项将支持来自美国的10名博士生参加第11届教育数据挖掘（EDM）会议。预定的活动包括世界知名研究人员的主题演讲，完整和简短的口头演讲，海报展示，研讨会，教程，互动活动和博士联盟（DC）。DC将包括口头报告和海报会议，学生介绍他们的工作。这些会议将特别安排，以防止与其他会议活动竞争，并最大限度地提高经验丰富的研究人员的注意力。学生将与EDM社区的高级成员配对，他们在会议期间担任导师。EDM会议促进了教育数据挖掘跨学科领域的科学研究，该领域涉及开发用于探索来自教育环境的独特数据类型的方法，并使用这些方法更好地了解学生和他们学习的环境。 EDM是计算机科学在数据库、数据挖掘和学习科学方面的学科研究的融合。EDM研究活动旨在应用数据挖掘来分析支持学习或教育的各种信息系统产生的数据（在学校，学院，大学和其他学术或专业学习机构和非正式学习）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估而被认为值得支持。

This award will support 10 doctoral students from the United States to attend the 11th Educational Data Mining (EDM) conference. Scheduled events include keynote talks by world-renowned researchers, full and short oral presentations, poster presentations, workshops, tutorials, interactive events, and the Doctoral Consortium (DC). The DC will include oral presentations and poster sessions in which students present their work. These sessions will be specially scheduled to prevent competition with other conference events and maximize attention by seasoned researchers. Students will be paired up with senior members of the EDM community who serve as mentors during the conference. The EDM conference promotes scientific research in the interdisciplinary field of educational data mining, which is concerned with developing methods for exploring the unique types of data that come from educational settings, and using those methods to better understand students and the settings in which they learn. EDM is the convergence of computer science disciplinary research in databases and data mining and learning science. EDM research activities are aimed at applying data mining to analyze data generated by various information systems that support learning or education (in schools, colleges, universities, and other academic or professional learning institutions and informal learning).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
