Many of those attending and presenting from Georgia Tech hail from the School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE), School of Computer Science, and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). CSE Assistant Professor Chao Zhang leads Georgia Tech’s presence with three research papers and will serve as a committee member of the Program Committee Research track.

Georgia Tech’s participation continues outside of the research track with several faculty and students participating through committee involvement, hands-on tutorials, or acting as guest speakers for several workshops, including:

• BigMine
• Data Mining and AI for Conservation
• Learning and Mining for Cybersecurity
• The 1st International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence of Things
• The First International Workshop on Deep Learning on Graphs: Methods and Applications
• The First Workshop on Adversarial Learning Methods for Machine Learning and Data Mining
• Tensor Methods for Emerging Data Science Challenges

"Data science is transforming our society, and KDD is the flagship conference in data science,” Zhang said.

“So many of our talented students and faculty are showcasing cutting-edge research results, giving invited talks, or organizing workshops at KDD. Such diverse and robust participation simply demonstrates we are in a strong position in this research area, and we are contributing our efforts to push this area forward.”

KDD will be held Aug. 4 through 8 in Anchorage, Alaska, at the Dena’ina Convention Center and William Egan Convention Center.
