The SDM Doctoral Forum is a unique opportunity for PhD students in data science (including data mining, machine learning, databases, and pattern recognition) to present their doctoral dissertation in poster format and get feedback from SDM participants and senior leaders in the field. The SDM doctoral forum will be held in a plenary poster session alongside posters from the main conference, allowing for an interesting cross fertilization of ideas. Past participants have benefited significantly from this plenary session.

Applications to the Doctoral Forum at the 2023 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM’23)

We invite doctoral students in data science (including data mining, machine learning, databases, and pattern recognition) to present their doctoral dissertation (including ongoing and future work) in poster format at the Doctoral Forum of the 2023 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM’23), which will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S. April 27-29, 2023.

The forum is held in a plenary poster session alongside posters from the main conference, allowing for an interesting cross fertilization of ideas.

The forum is a unique opportunity for PhD students to get feedback from SDM participants and senior leaders in the field. It is also an exciting opportunity for networking and creating future collaborations. Past participants have benefited significantly from this plenary session. An award will be given to the best poster presentation.

In addition to the poster session, there will be a mentorship panel with senior leaders in the field, which will provide perspectives and tips for graduate studies and what comes after graduation.

We welcome submissions both from senior doctoral students who have a more concrete idea of their dissertation, as well as junior doctoral students who may not have a full plan for their dissertation yet but have a direction and can benefit from the feedback by the forum participants.

Travel support

Some support for students at U.S.-based institutions who are accepted to the Doctoral Forum is available thanks to an NSF grant. 

Additional travel support for students to attend SDM’23, independent of whether they are at a US-based Institution and whether they attend the Doctoral forum, is available from SIAM, in the form of Student Travel Awards (due on Feb 17th). 

Support is also available for Early Career Professionals, such as PostDocs. See this link for more information.
