BPDM before KDD 2013
Broadening Participation in Data Mining (BPDM) will be held August 9-10, 2013 in Chicago, IL at the Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown Lakefront
As data mining research and applications continue to expand into a variety of fields such as medicine, finance, security, marketing, biometrics, and more, the need for talented and diverse individuals is clearly felt. This is especially the case as Big Data initiatives have taken off in federal, private, and academic sectors, providing a wealth of opportunities, nationally and internationally. Accordingly, BPDM directly addresses this need by providing a venue for which students of underrepresented groups are exposed to technically rich content and guidance from senior researchers in industry, academia, and government. We plan to continue in growing meaningful lasting connections between researchers, thereby strengthening the Data Mining Community, as well as, a number of other directly affected fields. The structure of the workshop is geared to provide students with opportunities to learn, share, and connect.
