[Event at CIG] SDM'24 Doctoral Forum

[SIAM SDM Publicity Chairs]

Dear colleagues,

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
<https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/program/special-events/sdm24-special-events>
of the 2024 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining
<https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/conference/sdm24> (SDM24), which will
be held in Houston, Texas, U.S. April 18-20, 2024.

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.
