[2012-ACM SIGKDD 数据挖掘及知识发现会议]

An introduction about the history of KDD, the topic of KDD, and the general issue about the 2012 KDD conference to be held in Beijing, China, by Prof. Jiangyong Wang from Tsinghua University.

Dissertation Award Running Up: Jingbo Shang, Assistant professor in UCSD, PHD from UIUC with Prof.Jiawei Han;

In the speech, Prof.Shang introduced his work during PhD study about automatic learning from text: turning unstructured data into structured knowledge;

QA:

1)How to improve our research taste? How to choose a good topic?

I focused on three parts: real problem; real data; real solution.

**If an algorithm is very specific, if we release some condition, the method will not work that well. So we have the chance to improve.**For example, for my PHD study, supervised learning on text is well studied, but i move to unsupervised learning, to form my phd thesis.

2)What is your future research interest?

two things,

• week supervision. Utilize huge amount of unlabelled data;
• How to combine sturctured and unstructured data;

[CICLAD: A Fast and Memory-efficient Closed Itemset Miner for Streams]

2020 KDD, Tomas Martin, Guy Francoeur, Petko Valtchev from Centre de recherche en intelligence artificielle (CRIA), UQÀM, Canada;

summary: This paper proposes a new intersection-based sliding-window (frequent closed itemset )FCI miner, to mine the association rules.

[Parameterized Correlation Clustering in Hypergraphs and Bipartite Graphs]

2020 KDD, Nate Veldt (Cornell University), Anthony Wirth (U of Melbourne), David F. Gleich (Purdue);

summary: This paper solves clustering problem in Hypergraphs and Bipartite Graphs.

[A Non-Iterative Quantile Change Detection Method in Mixture Model with Heavy-Tailed Components]

2020 KDD,Yuantong Li from Purdue, Qi Ma and Sujit K. Ghosh from North Carolina State University;

summary: This is a proof-of-concept paper. This paper proposes a data-driven method for parameter estimation in mixture models with heavy-tailed component. While traditionally, most litereatures use iterative Expectation Maximization (EM) method, this paper proposes Non-Iterative Quantile Change Detection (NIQCD) by using change-point detection methods.

[Learning based distributed tracking]

2020 KDD, Hao Wu, Junhao Gan, Rui Zhang from U of Melbourne;

summary: This paper studies the fundamental problem called Distributed Tracking. WIth the popularity of machine learning, people starts to explore the theory of ML via data distribution. This paper follows this line of research and proposes two methods, i.e., w and w/o known of data distribution in advance, to minimize the communication cost in coordinator and players.

[Stable Learning via Differentiated Variable Decorrelation]

2020 KDD, Zheyean Shen: Tsinghua University; Peng Cui: Tsinghua University; Jiashuo Liu: Tsinghua University; Tong Zhang: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; Bo Li: Tsinghua University; Zhitang Chen: Huawei Noah's Ark Lab

summary: This paper studies model robustness, i.e., the model could achieve similar performance in the chaning wild environment.

Method: This paper incorporates the unlabelled data from multiple environment in the variable decorrelation framework.
