Mountain View, California — Science is a dirty game. People get hurt. Marriages get broken. Mix tapes get dropped. But in the end one is able to move humanity forward and make a difference. This is why we do database. This is why we get up in the morning for the research grind. Maybe there is a better life out there, but frankly we do not want to hear it. Given this, the CMU Database Group is pleased to announce Mountain View, California — Science is a dirty game. People get hurt. Marriages get broken. Mix tapes get dropped.

Dr. Alex Beutel and Prof. Evangelos (Vagelis) Papalexakis, each attracted the ‘runner-up’ distinction for the prestigious SIGKDD doctoral dissertation award. SIGKDD is the flagship venue for data mining. Alex’s dissertation, titled ‘User Behavior Modeling with Large-Scale Graph Analysis’ focused on anomaly detection, by modeling normal and abnormal users, as well as on the design of scalable algorithms for large graphs. Vagelis’ dissertation, titled 'Mining Large Multi-aspect Data: Algorithms and Applications' bridged signal- and tensor-analysis, with data mining at scale, and Dr. Alex Beutel and Prof. Evangelos (Vagelis) Papalexakis, each attracted the ‘runner-up’ distinction for the prestigious SIGKDD doctoral dissertation award.
