ICIM'2002: First International Conference on INDUCTIVE MODELLING May 20-25, 2002, Lviv, Ukraine

Submission deadline: February 20, 2002 *********************************************************************

The 1st International Conference on Inductive Modelling (ICIM-2002) will present the latest high-quality results in the growing field of inductive methods in data mining and forecasting, pattern recognition and parallel computing. Inductive modelling is an important area, based on sorting methods of artificial intelligence problems solution. The aim of the Conference is to bring together leading scientists, researchers and experts from different areas, who can make significant contribution to development and better understanding of inductive modelling methods.

Conference topics include, but are not limited to:

• Principles and theoretical foundations of inductive modelling.
• Data mining, laws extracting and knowledge discovery.
• Parallel computing
• Time series analysis and forecasting.
• Information and hybrid systems.
• Neural networks and genetic algorithms.
• Pattern recognition and clustering.
• Parametric methods of modelling, machine learning, and
  evolutionary computation.
• Non-parametric methods: search of analogues, fuzzy logic and
  probabilistic modelling
• Selection and construction of criteria for model structure optimization.
• Comparison of different approaches for artificial intelligence problems
  solution.
• Estimation of inductive methods efficiency in modelling and prediction.
• Application of inductive approach to solution of AI problems.

Methods of inductive modelling allow to find automatically models of optimal complexity for real data and therefore can improve the accuracy of AI problems solution. Inductive modelling has objective character and therefore can help to avoid invalid decisions of experts. Inductive approach also considerably enriches existing methods of data mining and knowledge discovery by new possibilities to increase accuracy and lead-time of predictions. Methods of parallel computing are adequate for self-organizing algorithms, allowing to increase considerably the dimensionality of processed data.

Among the highlights of the Conference there will be issues of theory development, algorithms and applications of the Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) as first realization of inductive idea in modelling. Conference participants will have the opportunity to discuss fundamentals and state of art in inductive modelling, plans for software and hardware development, organization of cooperation, and discuss ways for enhancing of effectiveness of complex systems modelling.
