- KDD-93: AAAI Workshop on Knowledge Discovery in Databases
- Washington, D.C. July 11-12, 1993.
- ==================================
-
- Knowledge Discovery in Databases has been attracting significant
- attention in the last few years. The rapid growth of data and
- information created a need and an opportunity for extracting knowledge
- from databases, and both researchers and application developers have
- been responding to that need.
-
- Knowledge Discovery is an area of common interest for researchers in machine
- learning, statistics, intelligent databases, knowledge acquisition, data
- visualization and expert systems. KDD applications have been developed for
- astronomy, biology, finance, insurance, marketing, and many other fields.
-
- This workshop will continue in the tradition of the 1989 and 1991 KDD
- workshops by bringing together researchers and application developers
- from different areas, and focusing on unifying themes such as the use
- of domain knowledge, managing uncertainty, and interactive,
- human-oriented presentation. The topics of interest include:
-
- Interactive Data Exploration and Discovery
- Discovery Explanation
- Data and Knowledge Visualization
- Use of Domain Knowledge and Re-use of Discovered Knowledge
- Discovery in Knowledge Bases
- High-level Query Answering and Data Summarization
- Dependency Networks
- Discovery of Statistical and Probabilistic models
- Integrated Discovery Systems and Theories
- Learning from Successful and Unsuccessful Applications
- Security and Privacy Issues in Discovery
-
- Please submit 3 *hardcopies* of a short paper (8-12 single spaced pages) to
- the workshop chairman:
