Oard Spotify / University of Delaware University of Cape Town University of Maryland [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We report on the inception, organization, and activities of the 1st ACM SIGIR/SIGKDD Africa School on Machine Learning for Data Mining and Search, which took place at the University of Cape Town in South Africa January 14{18, 2019. 1 Introduction In January of 2019, ACM SIGIR and ACM SIGKDD co-sponsored the 1st SIGIR/SIGKDD Africa School on Machine Learning for Data Mining and Search,1 which took place at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. The event was conceived by SIGIR members with the aims of increasing opportunities in research from traditionally underserved communities, growing the IR and data mining communities in sub-Saharan Africa, and expanding the horizons of IR and data mining research. This is a report on the inception, organization, and activities of the event. Section 2 gives context on how the event came to be. In Section 3 we describe the organizational decisions and activities including committees, funding, calls for participation, and scientific program. Section 4 details the five days of the event, including lectures, labs, and other sessions. In Section 5 we detail the next steps for the initiative. 2 From inception to inauguration The inception of the event dates to the SIGIR conference in Tokyo in 2017.

  • Statistics Education in Kenya: Developments and Challenges
    Statistics Education in Kenya: Developments and Challenges John W. Odhiambo; Silas Onyango Strathmore University, Ole Sangale Road, Madaraka Estate, PO Box 59857, 00200, Nairobi, Kenya. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] 1. Introduction Sessions In the twenty- first century countries of the world, whether developed or developing are all aiming to become IPMs knowledge based economies (World Bank, 2002; Abbas Bazargan, 2005). Kenya is not an exception. In Kenya today greater value is placed on statistical information, statistical skills and statistical knowledge. Student enrollment in statistics education programmes in universities in Kenya has increased rapidly in the past two decades. This expansion has brought with it attendant challenges shared by both developed and developing countries (Godwin Ogum, 1998; Abbas Bazargan, 2005). Odhiambo (2002) reviewed the teaching of statistics at university level in Kenya. In this paper the aim is to examine the developments which have taken place in statistics education and how the rapid increase in student numbers and technological advancement has impacted on the teaching of statistics in the country. The paper is arranged as follows: In section two we review the development of statistics education in Kenya. In section three we present the teaching of statistics in Universities in Kenya. Here organizational setting, student enrolment, curriculum design, the statistics teaching staff and assessment and quality assurance are presented. In section four we indicate some of the common challenges facing statistics education in Kenya and in section five we present some suggestions for future development of teaching and learning of statistics in universities in Kenya. 2. Statistics Education in Kenya Kenya runs an 8-4-4 system of education; that is eight years of primary education which most pupils enter at the age of 6 years; four year of secondary education; and four years of university education which leads to Sessions IPMs the award of a bachelor’s degree.
