NSF Sponsored Tutorial Workshop on
Mathematical Techniques to Mine Massive Data Sets
July 12-15, 1997
University of Illinois at Chicago
Chicago, Illinois
We are pleased to announce an NSF sponsored four-day workshop entitled
"Mathematical Techniques to Mine Massive Data Sets" to be held on the
campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago on July 12-15, 1997.
The goal of the workshop is to introduce an invited group of mathematical
scientists to tutorial material related to the data mining of massive data
sets. Data mining is the automatic extraction and discovery of patterns,
associations, changes, anomalies, and significant structures in large data
sets. Large data sets generated by scientific, engineering, medical and
business applications are becoming increasingly common. Developing
algorithms which can uncover patterns in large data sets is an important
mathematical challenge.
If you would like to participate, please contact one of the organizers.
Some travel support is available. Graduate students are also
encouraged to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop
The workshop will be limited to 15 speakers and 30 invited participants.
The primary goals of the workshop are:
* To provide background and survey talks in order to introduce
mathematical scientists to some of the mathematical and statistical
techniques used in data mining.
* To provide mathematical scientists with a "flavor" for data mining by
providing several case studies and some exposure to "hands-on" demos
and systems.
* To begin a process to create a web-based digital library containing
material related to data mining for the mathematical community.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Structure of Workshop
The four day workshop will include tutorial lectures on:
* tree-based statistical techniques
* graphical markov models
* neural nets
* model selection and model averaging
* combinatorial techniques
* logic-based techniques
* data mining applications.
In addition, there will a few advanced lectures, software
demonstrations, and discussion sessions.
The invited lecturers currently include:
Michael Berry, University of Tennessee
Ron Coifman, Yale Univeristy
Herbert Edelsbrunner, University of Illinois at Urbanna Champaign
Michael Jordan, MIT
Heikki Mannila, University of Helsinki
John McCarthy, Stanford University
Vince Poor, Princeton University
J. Ross Quinlan, University of Sydney
Eric Ristad, Princeton University
Stuart Russell, University of California at Berkeley
Additional speakers are anticipated and will be included on our web site.
