Those in attendance of this Gordian Institute short course will learn about different methods of modeling and how those models apply to real business problems. Those who desire to make data mining an integral part of their business process are target candidates. Attendees will learn to:
Those who would like a hands-on perspective to the instructional sessions may attend an optional third day application workshop. The workshop will highlight superior performance as well as pitfalls resulting from various tools and techniques when applied to different types of data intensive problems. Objective evaluations of popular data mining products can save immeasurable time and effort in assessing and selecting which suite of tools will perform best for your application.

PKDD'98 -- 2ND EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM ON PRINCIPLES OF DATA MINING AND
KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY
Location: Nantes, France

Description: Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) have emerged from a combination of many research areas: databases, statistics, machine learning, automated scientific discovery, inductive logic programming, artificial intelligence, visualization, decision science, and high performance computing.
While each of these areas can contribute in specific ways, KDD focuses on the value that is added by creative combination of the contributing areas. The goal of PKDD'98 is to provide a European-based forum for interaction among all theoreticians and practitioners interested in data mining. Interdisciplinary collaboration is one desired outcome, but the main long-term focus is on theoretical principles for the emerging discipline of KDD, especially on KDD-specific principles that go beyond each contributing area.
Both theoretical and applied submissions are sought. Reviewers will assess the contribution towards the principles of KDD, in addition to the usual requirements of relevance, novelty, clarity and significance. Applied papers should go beyond an individual application, presenting an explicit method that promises a degree of generality within one or more stages of the discovery process, such as preprocessing, mining, visualization, use of prior knowledge, knowledge refinement, and evaluation. Theoretical papers should demonstrate how the proposed theoretical contribution advances the discovery process.
