As usual, all ADAPT members are required to attend these seminars. Please always inform me in advance if you can¡¯t make it. For those of you who are new to ADAPT and have never attended the seminars, this is a good opportunity for us to practice our communication skills, and exchange ideas. Typically, each group member will give a 45-min talk about his or her own research, about a research paper, or some research survey or review. After that, audience are given chances to question the speaker and to comment on his or her presentation. The following is a tentative schedule for the first few talks in the common weeks:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'>Week 1: Yu (ICDE submission - Action conceptualization)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'>Week 2: Ke (ICDE submission - Rumor detection on Sina Weibo)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'>Week 3: Keyang (AAAI submission - Association Network)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'>Week 4: Jessie + Chen (VLDB special, 25 mins each)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'>Week 5: Kangqi + Jinyi (VLDB special, 25 mins each)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'>Week 6: Yu + Ke (VLDB special, 25 mins each)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'>Please prepare for your talks carefully and watch out for the timing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'>Thanks and looking forward to seeing you next week!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.5pt'>Kenny <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
