Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining is an area of common interest to researchers in several fields, including machine learning, statistics, databases, and data visualization. The continuing rapid growth of on-line data has created a need and an opportunity for extracting knowledge from databases. Responding to this need, researchers and application developers have created knowledge discovery applications for many areas of business and science.
The fourth international conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-98) will follow on the success of previous KDD conferences. As an interdisciplinary field, KDD has made important strides by generating cross-fertilization of ideas between individual disciplines. In keeping with this theme, KDD-98 will be co-located with VLDB-98 (Conference on Very Large Databases) , to be held Monday August 24 to Thursday August 27. KDD-98 will immediately follow VLDB-98, with the goal of catalyzing discussions and interactions between researchers in the two fields.
Sponsored by the
American Association for Artificial Intelligence,
in cooperation with the
IEEE Technical Committee on Data Engineering (TCDE).
