The world-renowned Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) Conference is the world's largest and longest-running data mining conference, and takes place from Aug 14-18 in Singapore. SMU Associate Professor of Computer Science Zhu Feida said, "KDD is one of the only academic conferences of this calibre to also focus on the applications for big data and data science. I'm excited to apply the lessons we learned at KDD2020, our first fully virtual conference, to this year's digital gathering as we seek to increase accessibility and engagement for all participants."
