OVERVIEW

Data mining, the science of extracting information from massive, complex databases, continues to be an exciting area of research. Domain-specific problems provide fertile ground for stimulating new research on challenging problems. Building on the successful 2004 data mining workshop held at the Fields Institute, this year's event will look at data mining theory and methodology, and consider and challenging problems in specific application areas. Topics this year include data mining theory, supervised learning with tree models, bioinformatics, and mining transactional data on graphs. Several of these topics represent new territory not covered at last year's event.

As with last year, the workshop will feature speakers from several disciplines involved in data mining, including statistics, computer science, and medicine.

The format of the workshop will include talks, open discussions and poster sessions, with a view towards stimulating interactions between participants and identification of promising new directions in research and applications. Graduate students are encouraged to participate, and may apply for limited travel funding.

Registration:
Registration fees, $100 faculty and $25 for students and postdoctoral fellows.

Travel Support:
Some travel funds are available for students. Deadline to apply was October 15

Poster session:
Students or postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to present a poster. Those wishing to do so should indicate on the registration form the title and abstract.
