DESCRIPTION
Data
mining is the computational process for discovering valuable knowledge
from data. It has enormous application in numerous fields, including
science, engineering, healthcare, business, and medicine. Typical
datasets in these fields are large, complex, and often noisy. Extracting
knowledge from these datasets requires the use of sophisticated,
high-performance, and principled analysis techniques and algorithms,
which are based on sound theoretical and statistical foundations. These
techniques in turn require implementations on high performance
computational infrastructure that are carefully tuned for performance.
Powerful visualization technologies along with effective user interfaces
are also essential to make data mining tools appealing to researchers,
analysts, and application developers from different disciplines.
The
SDM conference provides a venue for researchers who are addressing
these problems to present their work in a peer-reviewed forum. It also
provides an ideal setting for graduate students and others new to the
field to learn about cutting-edge research by hearing outstanding
invited speakers and attending presentations and tutorials (included
with conference registration). A set of focused workshops is also held
on the last day of the conference. The proceedings of the conference are
published in archival form, and are also made available on the SIAM web
site.
