IEEE ICDM 2002: Call for Tutorials **********************************

The 2002 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM '02) 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:

• 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) in emerging data mining application areas such as bioinformatics, medical applications, electronic commerce, Web Intelligence and Business Intelligence.
• Surveys of new and developing research areas in data mining (e.g., areas of structured, textual, temporal, spatial, multimedia, Web, distributed, scientific data mining, data pre- processing, data reduction, data sampling, feature selection, feature transformation, man-machine interaction in data mining and visual data mining).
• 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).
• An in-depth coverage of a past research breakthrough that is now becoming a mature technology.
