One problem that Ifeel I need to mention is the travel expense for the student to the conference. To solve thisproblem, usually the students can sign up for a few hours of volunteer work at theconference and get their registration fee waved. Sometimes, the students are willing topay for a big part of the travel expenses because this trip becomes a vacation for themwhile securing a publication for their resume.In order to enrich the content of this data mining course, the plan is for two weeks ofteaching sequence mining be added to the content of this course.
