PKDD'98
2ND EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM ON PRINCIPLES OF DATA MINING AND KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY
Location: Nantes, France
Contact: http://www.sciences.univ-nantes.fr/pkdd98

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.
