We consider this prestigious Data Mining Prize to recognize a senior researcher each year for outstanding contributions to the field of data mining over the course of their career. Such contributions could include papers (published or submitted and accepted), books, monographs, and software that have pushed the field forward. This award is the highest accomplishment the section can bestow upon a member.
