WORKSHOP ON
FOUNDATIONS OF
DATA MINING 
(June 11-12, 2005)

 

Mining knowledge from structured and unstructured files is a promising research area, with high application potential due to the huge amounts of data accumulated in databases, data warehouses, and other information repositories. Coupled with the rapid growth of data, data mining has attracted people from many different fields, including database systems, data warehouses, machine learning, knowledge acquisition, statistics, information retrieval, and data visualization.

 

CASM is organizing this workshop with the collaboration of Department of Computer Science to encourage young mathematicians and computer scientists to study basic topics in Knowledge Discovery from structured and unstructured data. All interested are invited to register, preferably before June 05, 2005. Participation is by invitation only.
