J. W. Marriot Hotel in Washington, D.C.
December 16-17, 1997
On behalf of AFCEA and the participating commands, we are pleased to
invite you to the first Federal Data Mining Symposium!
The Federal Data Mining Symposium will spotlight the technical advances
in and applications of Data Mining in the government community. The
need for better and more automated methods of analysis is particularly
important as the amount of data being collected and stored increases
dramatically. Analysts must be knowledgeable about new types of
techniques, both statistical and artificial intelligence techniques, in
order to better find patterns, correlations, trends, and summaries in
the wealth of data.
The major goals of the Symposium are to exchange information and ideas
on the role of data mining and present requirements and proposed
solutions, provide discussions on the broad range of applicable
technologies, provide policy guidance applicable to DoD and civil
agency information resource managers, and identify and encourage
service-unique and government-wide knowledge and use of the important
technology.
The Federal Data Mining Symposium will focus on three overall areas:
* User requirements for better analysis methods including data mining
techniques
* Applications of data mining that have been constructed and fielded,
both for
structured data as well as textual and other multimedia data
* Technology for addressing the requirements
Topics of interest include:
* User requirements for data mining
* Applications of data mining
* Data mining from multimedia data (e.g., text, imagery, geospatial)
* Lessons learned from constructing data mining systems
* Solutions to data mining problems (noisy data, uncertain data,
incomplete
data, dynamic data)
* Data cleansing as part of the data mining process
* Visualization as part of data mining process
* Validation and verification of discovered knowledge
* Security/privacy concerns and solutions
* Employment of discovered knowledge in decision support or other
systems
Data users, analysts, administrators, managers, developers,
researchers, theoreticians, and vendors are cordially invited to attend
and to submit papers for presentation at the Federal Data Mining
Symposium. Papers will be selected based on relevance to the
conference and technical quality. Selected papers will be presented at
the conference and/or published in the proceedings. Exhibit Space
Available!
Call for Papers Due No Later Than - October 31, 1997
