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.

Call for Oral Presentation (Just Accepted Track)

We are soliciting oral presentations for papers in the areas of knowledge discovery and data mining recently accepted by 2023 editions of KDD as well as other related conferences such as (but not limited to)  SIGIR, IJCAI, ICML and ACL. Authors are required to:

• Submit the accepted version of their papers through EasyChair by 18 June 2023, 11.59pm SGT. 
• At least one of the authors registers by the early-bird deadline upon notification of acceptance into the Symposium, and attend the Symposium to present the work.

We will be awarding certificates for the Best Presentation Award as well as a number of Honourable Mentions based on inputs from the audience as well as the selection committee.

Call for Poster Presentation (Work-in-Progress Track)

We are soliciting poster presentations for work-in-progress papers in the areas of knowledge discovery and data mining. As the presentations are non-archival without any proceeding publication, it does not impact the future publication of these papers. Authors are required to:

• Prepare a PDF paper in the ACM format, between two (2) and four (4) pages, including all figures, appendices, and references. 
• Submit the PDF paper through EasyChair by 23 June 2023, 11.59pm SGT. 
• At least one of the authors registers by the early-bird deadline upon notification of acceptance into the Symposium, and attend the Symposium to present the work.
• The presentation will be done as a digital poster (projected on a screen).

Future Travel Award for the Work-in-Progress Track: For select presentations, we will be giving out up to 5 future travel awards of 1000 SGD per award, subject to the following conditions:

• 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.
• The Singapore ACM SIGKDD Chapter makes the final decision on the award qualification and disbursement.

We will be awarding a certificate for a Best Poster Presentation Award as well as a number of Honourable Mentions based on inputs from the audience as well as the selection committee.
