[ICDM 2018]

*ICDM’2018: Call for ICDM Tao Li Award*



ICDM Tao Li Award was established in December 2017. The purpose of the
award is to honor Professor Tao Li’s life and accomplishment, and reward
excellent early career researchers (individuals either in a doctoral
program or who have received a doctoral degree less than 10 years prior to
receiving the Award) in the field of data mining and machine learning. Each
year, starting from 2018, the ICDM steering committee will form an ad-hoc
award committee to select one awardee to receive the Tao Li award. The
award, worth $2,000 in check, for one awardee, will be given out once a
year at the annual IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM). The
Tao Li Award was established through public donations, and is managed by
the IEEE ICDM steering committee and the FAU Foundation.
