"The SIGKDD executive committee is honored to have some Singapore's finest
computer science minds leading this year's virtual event," said Michael Zeller,
secretary and treasurer of the executive committee of SIGKDD. "Our volunteer
organizing committee continues to deliver an excellent conference year after
year, overcoming challenges to create an opportunity for our community to
gather and learn from each other to inform the future of research and industry
applications for data mining."
Each year, outstanding data science practitioners are honored during the
conference with SIGKDD Innovation, Service and Rising Star Awards. The
Innovation and Service Awards recognize an individual or group of collaborators
whose technical innovations in the field of knowledge discovery and data mining
have had a lasting impact, and an individual or group whose professional
services contributions to the field are remarkable. Launched in 2020, the
Rising Star Award aims to promote current SIGKDD researchers as the build their
careers, and the honoree is selected based on their whole body of work in the
first five years following completion of the Ph.D. Nominations (
) are being accepted now through May 1.
The largest and longest running data mining conference, KDD is managed by a
team of volunteers who serve as chairs for the various committees. 2021 general
co-chairs are Feida Zhu, associate professor at Singapore Management
University; Beng Chin Ooi, distinguished professor in the department of
computer science, School of Computing at National University of Singapore; and
Miao Chun Yan, chair and professor of the School of Computer Science and
Engineering at Nanyang Technology University. Zhu is a founding director of two
major data analytics joint labs with industrial giants at the School of
Computing and Information Systems at Singapore Management University. His
research in data mining, machine learning, blockchain and data asset, with
emphasis on their application to business, financial and consumer innovation
lends itself well to his leadership role on the KDD 2021 organizing committee.
"KDD is one of the only academic conferences of this caliber to also focus on
the applications for big data and data science," said Zhu. "I'm excited to
apply the lessons we learned at KDD 2020, our first fully virtual conference,
to this year's digital gathering as we seek to increase accessibility and
engagement for all participants. In particular, this year's KDD will allow
registered participants to access accepted papers together with their
presentation slides and videos one month before the actual conference, and
interact with authors on KDD 2021 virtual platforms. Besides a list of
world-renowned keynote speakers and invited industrial talks, KDD 2021 will
also feature a variety of theme days, over 40 workshops, tutorials and "Equity,
Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)" events."
The renowned KDD Cup is now open to competitors and includes a multi-dataset
time series anomaly detection (
) contest, OGB large-scale graph ML (
) challenge, and the city brain challenge (
). The winner will be announced June 15.
