KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY MINE
This server has a variety of information on Knowledge
Discovery in Database, also known as data mining, knowledge extraction,
information harvesting, etc. Some of this is very preliminary, so
please send constructive suggestions (no flames) to gps@gte.com.
Contents:
* KDD Frequently Asked Questions, with pointers to relevant publications.
* S*I*FTWARE: a catalog of commercial and public-domain tools for knowledge
discovery in data, with some additional hyperlinks.
* A list of AI resources relevant to KDD, collected by Chris Matheus.
* The KDD Nuggets archive
* KDD-93: Progress and Challenges in Knowledge Discovery in Databases,
a report on AAAI-93 KDD Workshop, in LaTeX format, submitted for publication
also there are pointers to other relevant information sources on the Internet,
such as the server described in the next message.

Subject: WWW accessable Data Mining (KDD) info available
Hi,
I'm a 1st year research student in the Department of Computer Science,
at the University of Birmingham, England. My research concerns
"Computer Aided Data Mining". I've been collecting information on
Data Mining / Knowledge Discovery in Databases, which I've now made
available through the WWW at the following address:-
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~anp/TheDataMine.html
I'd be grateful for any comments or suggestions, particularly
if you know of any internet-accessible information on KDD, Data
Mining, Machine Learning etc.
Andy.
P.S. I'll be adding a KDD bibliography to this page soon...

Third International Conference on Information
and Knowledge Management (CIKM'94)
November 29 - December 2, 1994
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Gaithersburg, Maryland
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sponsored by: ACM SIGART and ACM SIGIR, in cooperation with: AAAI,
NIST, UMBC, NSF, Purdue University, and Rutgers University.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Conference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CIKM provides an international forum for presentation and discussion of
research on information and knowledge management, as well as recent advances
on data and knowledge bases. The purpose of the con ference is to identify
challenging problems facing the development of future knowledge and
information systems, and to shape future directions of research by soliciting
and reviewing high quality, applied and theoretical research findings. An
important part of the conference is the Workshops program which focuses on
timely research challenges and initiatives.
Focus
~~~~~
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following areas:
o Application of knowledge representation techniques to semantic modeling
o Development and management of heterogeneous knowledge bases
o Automatic acquisition of data and knowledge bases (especially raw text)
o Object-oriented DBMS
o Optimization techniques
o Transaction management
o High performance OLTP systems
o Security techniques
o Performance evaluation
o Hypermedia
o Unconventional applications
o Parallel database systems
o Physical and logical database design
o Data and knowledge sharing
o Interchange and interoperability
o Cooperation in heterogeneous systems
o Domain modeling and ontology-building
o Knowledge discovery in databases
o Information storage and retrieval and interface technology
o Concurrent engineering and computer integrated manufacturing
o Digital Libraries
o Multimedia Databases.
