Congratulations to Ze Tian and Huanan Zhang. Their paper, "Sparse Group Selection on Fused Lasso Components for Identifying Group-specific DNA Copy Number Variations," won the Best Student Paper Award at the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM). The ICDM conference is an established top conference for presenting the world's premier research in data mining. Their work in the paper introduced a novel computational model to discover cancerous genomic patterns for hidden patient subpopulations from DNA copy number change data. Ze graduated in 2012 and now works in the Bing group of Microsoft. Huanan is currently in the third-year of his PhD study. Their adviser is Assistant Professor Rui Kuang.
