The Singapore ACM SIGKDD Symposium 2023 (“Symposium”) is an in-person event organized by the Singapore ACM SIGKDD Chapter and sponsored by Huawei and SMU School of Computing and Information Systems. The Symposium aims to invite local researchers to introduce their recent research works in KDD areas, and connect local researchers with industry companies.
Date: Wednesday 19 July 2023
Venue: Singapore Management University, School of Computing and Information Systems
The Symposium will be a one-day event consisting of:
- Invited keynote talks from both academia and industry
- Contributed oral and poster presentations.
All presentations adopt a non-archival nature, i.e., there is no proceeding and they are not considered as formal publications. There are two tracks of contributed presentations, namely, Just Accepted Track, and Work-in-Progress Track.

- The work or an improved version of the work will be published as a full paper in SIGKDD-sponsored conferences (e.g,. KDD) in the year 2024 or 2025. There can only be at most one improved version of the work to qualify for the award, as judged at the discretion of the Singapore ACM SIGKDD Chapter.
- A non-faculty author attended the conference and presented the work.
- Award will only be disbursed to the non-faculty author who attended the conference, upon conclusion of the conference with supporting evidence of conference attendance.
- Each non-faculty author is entitled to receive at most one award, regardless of the number of papers qualifying the award; each paper is entitled to receive at most one award, regardless of the number of non-faculty authors on the paper.
