                 IEEE ICDM 2001: Call for Tutorials
                 **********************************

The 2001 IEEE International Conference  on Data Mining (ICDM '01) will
include tutorials  providing in-depth background  on specific subjects
in data mining.  The recency of the data mining field, and the variety
of disciplines  that are represented,  lead to many  possibilities for
good tutorials:

   * Short  courses  on  areas  of  machine  learning,  databases,  or
     statistics  that  may  be   "old  hat"  to  specialists  in  that
     discipline,  but  are  new   to  a  majority  of  the  conference
     attendees. (e.g., An Introduction to Hidden Markov Models).
   * Surveys   of  new   and   developing  research   areas  in   data
     mining. (e.g., Text Mining).
   * End-to-end  descriptions  of the  practical  application of  data
     mining technology (i.e., applications that may be "typical" for a
     paper, but  provide an example of  issues faced in  a data mining
     project that would generalize to problems faced by the conference
     attendees).
   * An in-depth coverage of a past research breakthrough  that is now
     becoming a mature technology.

The topics of interest  fall within those described  in the conference
Call for Papers (http://kais.mines.edu/~xwu/icdm/icdm-01.html).
