[Event at CIG] Call for Blue Sky Vision Papers: SIAM International Conference on Data Mining 2023, Minneapolis, MN

[Arianna Dagliati]

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the conference organizing committee, we are glad to announce
the Call for Papers on a *new Blue Sky Vision Track* in SDM23. Details are
below. Please note the paper submission deadline is January 15th, 2023,
11:59 PM Pacific Time.


*SIAM Conference on Data Mining (SDM23) 2023*



*April 27 – 29, 2023, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA*



*Blue Sky Track*



*Chair: *Nitesh Chawla, University of Notre Dame



SDM’23 is excited to introduce the Blue Sky Idea Track. The goal of the
Blue Sky Idea Track is to invite members of our research community to
present position papers that may help inform or shape new directions of
research. These are not typical conference research papers, rather they are
expected to be visionary papers that set a direction.



The Blue Sky Ideas should be bold in their vision, tackle a wicked problem
or present new algorithmic / methodological opportunities or challenge
existing assumptions behind methods or approach.  It is expected that the
Blue Sky Ideas will help foster new directions or innovations through the
collective initiative of our community in subsequent SDM’s and beyond.
Ideally, the Blue Sky Ideas become a topical focus and our community
submits research papers in response to it. There will be a special track
dedicated to Blue Sky Ideas during the SDM’23 Conference.



The Blue Sky Ideas are not supposed to be incremental or have preliminary
results. Rather, the Blue Sky Ideas present a bold vision, accompanied by
the following elements:



1.     What is the Blue Sky Idea?

2.     Why is it a Blue Sky Idea? Why should the community ponder over it?
Why now?

3.     Does the Blue Sky Idea push the frontier or does it challenge our
current set of assumptions or does it take a bold approach to solve a
wicked problem?

4.     What are the challenges?

5.     What will success look like?



*Submission Information:*



The Blue Sky Idea papers should be no more than 4 pages in SDM23 template,
and submitted via email to SDMBlueSky at gmail.com.



The papers will be reviewed by a specially convened program committee of
experts in our field. Accepted Blue Sky Idea papers will appear in the SDM
23 proceedings.



*Important Deadlines*



Submission: January 15th, 2023, 11:59 PM Pacific Time



Decision Notification: Feb 28th, 2023
