Discovery Science 1999
The Second International Conference on Discovery Science
Waseda University International Conference Center,
Tokyo, Japan
December 6-8, 1999
The second international conference on Discovery Science (DS'99) will
be held at Waseda University International Conference Center, Tokyo,
Japan, from December 6 to 8, 1999. The conference will be sponsored
by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Area "Discovery
Science" , in cooperation with Japanese Society for Artificial
Intelligence, and with SIG of Data Mining, Japan Society for Software
Science and Technology. The conference will be colocated with the
Tenth International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory
(ALT'99).
The "Discovery Science" is a three year project from 1998 to 2000 that
aims to (1) develop new methods for knowledge discovery, (2)
install network environments for knowledge discovery, and (3)
establish the Discovery Science as a new area of Computer Science. A
systematic research is planned that ranges over philosophy, logic,
reasoning, computational learning and system developments. We are now
close to the end of the first year and quite a few new research
results are being expected.
The main objective of this conference is to provide an open forum for
intensive discussions and interchange of new information among
researchers working in the new area of Discovery Science. We believe
that such forum will be of benefit to the participants of the
conference as well as to the "Discovery Science" project.
Invited lectures will be delivered by Professor Donald Michie
(University of Edinburgh), Professor Stuart Russell (University of
California, Berkeley), Professor Jan M Zytkow (University of North
Carolina). There will be three more speakers invited by ALT'99:
Katharina Morik (University of Dortmund), Robert Schapire (AT&T Shannon Lab.),
and Kenji Yamanishi (NEC).
