Meetings

The 2002 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM '02) will include 6 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.
