datamining 2012 - First CRA-W / CDC Discipline-Specific Workshop on Data Mining

Welcome to the Broadening Participation in Data Mining website. Our primary aim is to foster mentorship, guidance, and connections of minority and underrepresented groups in Data Mining, while also enriching technical aptitude and exposure. We provide venues in which to encourage students from such groups to connect with junior and senior researchers in industry, academia, and government. We hope to create and help grow meaningful lasting connections between researchers, thereby strenghtening the Data Mining Community.

Our first meeting is scheduled for April 27-28, 2012, co-located with SDM 2012 in Anaheim, CA and our keynote speaker is Dr. Vipin Kumar. More detailed information regarding the workshop will be provided in the upcoming months.
