29TH ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining – KDD-UC-2023

The Undergraduate Consortium at KDD 2023 (KDD-UC) is an initiative that endeavors to expand and enhance the participation of undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds in research pertaining to knowledge discovery from data. Towards that goal, the KDD-UC will:
* Provide an undergraduate research paper submission track which will be used to both provide critical feedback to undergraduate students on their ongoing research projects and select a subset of students that will be provided financial assistance to attend and present their work at KDD 2023.
* Organize student paper and poster presentations at KDD 2023, along with participating reviewers that will provide additional feedback on talks.
* Match participating students with academic and industry mentors that can provide them feedback on current or future research project ideas, along with overall career advice.
* Organize a panel focused on rewards and potential challenges of different research career pathways, including graduate school/PhD, research labs, and industry.
