The ICDM19 PhD Forum will be held on Nov. 8, 2019. This workshop will highlight work of PhD and PhD-bound Masters students, which will become the core of their thesis. It spans various topics of data mining and related fields such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistics, databases, information retrieval, social media analysis, and multimedia and web mining.

During the workshop, invited students will give the presentations of their on going works, while researchers with experience in supervising and examining doctoral students will participate and provide feedback on these presentations. This year we will also have a keynote session with two speakers where the well-known, successful Prof. Bing Liu, and Dr. Neil Shah will discuss topics that are relevant to PhDs or PhD-bound students,e.g., discuss various tips of academic and industry, how to work with supervisors to in a win-win way, how to reach the career goals. Any kinds of questions can be raised to discuss over face to face in this session. In addition, we will organize a panel session "AI in data mining" to discuss how AI is related to data mining and some potential topics, and demonstrate some examples from panel speakers.

The workshop is open to anyone who is interested in !
