The primary aim of the workshop is to foster mentorship, guidance, and connections of underrepresented groups in Data Mining, while also enriching technical aptitude and exposure. We provide a venue in which to encourage students from such groups to connect with junior and senior research members in industry, academia, and government. We hope to create and help grow meaningful lasting connections between researchers, thereby strengthening the Data Mining Community.
We invite students to apply for scholarships to attend the workshop. Scholarships will cover travel, accommodations, meals, and registration for the conference. Graduate students and postdocs from underrepresented groups and those with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
To apply for the workshop, submit your application through our web portal at http://dataminingshop.com/application.php. You’ll be required to answer basic application questions, provide contact information for a reference letter writer, and provide a poster abstract (if you’d like to present one). Please inform your reference letter writer in advance so appropriate notice can be had.
