OVERVIEW
Data mining, the science of extracting information from massive,
complex databases, continues to be an exciting area of research.
Domain-specific problems provide fertile ground for stimulating
new research on challenging problems. Building on the successful
2004 data mining workshop held at the Fields Institute, this year's
event will look at data mining theory and methodology, and consider
and challenging problems in specific application areas. Topics
this year include data mining theory, supervised learning with
tree models, bioinformatics, and mining transactional data on
graphs. Several of these topics represent new territory not covered
at last year's event.
As with last year, the workshop will feature speakers from several
disciplines involved in data mining, including statistics, computer
science, and medicine.
The format of the workshop will include talks, open discussions
and poster sessions, with a view towards stimulating interactions
between participants and identification of promising new directions
in research and applications. Graduate students are encouraged
to participate, and may apply for limited travel funding.
Registration:
Registration fees, $100 faculty and $25 for students and postdoctoral
fellows.
Travel Support:
Some travel funds are available for students. Deadline to apply
was October 15
Poster session:
Students or postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to present a poster.
Those wishing to do so should indicate on the registration form
the title and abstract.
