REU Symposium 2023

2023 Symposium for Undergraduate Research in Data Science, Systems, and Security (REU Symposium 2023)

Special Session at the 22nd International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA 2023)
One day in December 15-17, 2023, Jacksonville, Florida, USA

Description
Undergraduate research plays an important role in attracting our best undergraduates to continue towards graduate education in the science and engineering fields. Publishing research in a professional venue is part of the training for future researchers. The National Science Foundation (NSF) provides support for undergraduate research within the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. The goal of this Symposium is to provide a venue for students to publish their research done as part of the REU program. The symposium seeks original submissions in research areas that are currently funded by the NSF’s directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) or other related directorates. The research topics of this symposium focus on Data Science, Systems, and Security. Research done by undergraduate researchers without explicit funding sources or via funding from similar programs such as Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) are also eligible to submit.

The same REU Symposium has been held in 2021 and 2022. More information can be found at REU Symposium 2021, REU Symposium 2022.

To promote research experiences in K-12, in 2023, high school students are also eligible to submit although it is highly recommended such submissions are in collaboration with undergraduate students and/or faculty mentors.

The key requirement for this Symposium is that the submission’s lead author must be an undergraduate student or high school student.

Paper Submission

In align with the main conference’s instructions, authors for this special session are invited to submit full papers (up to 6 pages and possible two additional pages with cost of $50 per page) or short papers (up to 4 pages and possible two additional pages with cost of $50 per page) as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines (templates for LaTex, Word and PDF can be found at IEEE Templates for Conference Proceedings). All papers must be submitted via CMT Submission Site: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ICMLA2023 and Select track: Special Session 9: REU Symposium for Undergraduate Research in Data Science, Systems, and Security.

Required by the main conference, all submissions should be double-blind reviewed and must present original work. Authors’ names and affiliations should not appear in the submitted paper. Authors’ prior work should be cited in the third person. Authors should also avoid revealing their identities and/or institutions in the text, figures, links, etc. Check the main conference instruction for details on double-blind review instructions.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the symposium and present the paper. All the accepted papers by the symposium will be included in the Proceedings of 22nd International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA 2023) which will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
