*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***
Workshop on Data Mining in Economics, Marketing and Finance
MACHINE LEARNING AND APPLICATIONS
Advanced Course on Artificial Intelligence 1999 (ACAI'99)
5-16 July 1999, Chania, Greece
In recent years there has been a huge increase in Economic, Marketing
and Finance databases with examples including Government surveys,
supermarket sales information and minute by minute stock prices.
The common denominator for these examples is that the amount of data is
overwhelming for the typical user and specialized tools are needed to aid
in an analysis. By approaching an analysis as a search for knowledge (data
mining), rather than to test a hypothesis (classical statistics),
previously unknown relationships in the data can be discovered.
The workshop has two main aims: to present the current trends in Data
Mining as a research area and to link this with the experience gained by
practitioners. Topics could include: new techniques/algorithms,
success/failure case stories, comparisons between different tools, new
ideas for future research. Data Mining has its roots in practical problem
solving. So although technical topics are encouraged, the main focus will
be on Data Mining as a tool for applied research. Active discussions are
welcome and in particular the views of users.
