Readers of this mailing list may be interested in the following
article which was just published in JAIR:
Moore, A. and Lee, M.S. (1998)
'Cached Sufficient Statistics for Efficient Machine Learning with Large
Datasets', Volume 8, pages 67-91.

Abstract: This paper introduces new algorithms and data structures for
quick counting for machine learning datasets. We focus on the
counting task of constructing contingency tables, but our approach is
also applicable to counting the number of records in a dataset that
match conjunctive queries. Subject to certain assumptions, the costs
of these operations can be shown to be independent of the number of
records in the dataset and loglinear in the number of non-zero entries
in the contingency table.
We provide a very sparse data structure, the ADtree, to minimize
memory use. We provide analytical worst-case bounds for this structure
for several models of data distribution. We empirically demonstrate
that tractably-sized data structures can be produced for large
real-world datasets by (a) using a sparse tree structure that never
allocates memory for counts of zero, (b) never allocating memory for
counts that can be deduced from other counts, and (c) not bothering to
expand the tree fully near its leaves.
We show how the ADtree can be used to accelerate Bayes net structure
finding algorithms, rule learning algorithms, and feature selection
algorithms, and we provide a number of empirical results comparing
ADtree methods against traditional direct counting approaches. We
also discuss the possible uses of ADtrees in other machine learning
methods, and discuss the merits of ADtrees in comparison with
alternative representations such as kd-trees, R-trees and Frequent Sets.

------------------------------------
Whether you are new to the complex science of data mining, or have already
realized its elusive paths to success, a two day course offered by The
Gordian Institute entitled 'Data Mining: Principles and Practice' will
provide an intensive introduction to the process of data mining. Those in
attendance will learn about different methods of modeling and how those
models apply to real business problems.
'Data Mining: Principles and Practice' is designed to offer thorough
reviews of terminology, as well as benefits and pitfalls of the technology
while minimizing time away from the office. The two day data mining
seminar covers the subject of data mining from the ground up. The key
issue explored in this short course is how to avoid frustrating and costly
mistakes and improve your business process by correct use of these powerful
methods.
ATTENDEES WILL LEARN:
- The basic principles and terminology of data mining
- The different methods of data mining and how they compare
- How to prepare raw data for data mining
- How to analyze and validate the results
- What questions data mining can answer
- What are the pitfalls and how to avoid them
- What commercial products are available and how to evaluate them
Gordian's 'Data Mining: Principles and Practice' seminar focuses on actual
use and implementation of data mining techniques in the real world. The
instructor has been deeply involved with the development of data mining
methods and the means of their use. Actual products will be reviewed, as
will results drawn from real data mining applications.
OPTIONAL THIRD-DAY HANDS-ON WORKSHOP
Those who would like a hands-on perspective to the instructional sessions
may attend an optional third day application workshop for an additional
$495. The workshops will highlight superior performance as well as
pitfalls resulting from various tools and techniques when applied to

Data mining is on the cusp of true commercial success. Commercial
institutions are starting to move beyond pilot studies and research programs
toward the production use of predictive models for real world business
applications. While this is exciting, it is also where it gets harder.
Successful data mining in business doesn't come down to simply having a hot
algorithm and giving it to an experienced modeler. Business users care
about things such as database support, application integration, business
templates, flexibility, scalability, real profitability, and other issues
that have not historically been the concern of the KDD community.
From a development point of view, the core algorithms are now a small part,
perhaps 10%, of the overall data mining application, which itself is only
10% of the business process that contains the application. The purpose of
this workshop is to focus on the remaining 99% so that commercial data
mining application are relevant to business users.
The goal is to bring together a diverse group of developers, users, and
integrators of business data mining applications. The workshop will
consist of a number of in-depth case studies and analyses, several invited
speakers, and panel sessions. Time will also be set aside for
discussions.
It is expected that the workshop will include forty to fifty participants.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:
SIGMOD'98 Workshop on Research Issues in
Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (SIGMOD-DMKD'98)
Seattle, Friday, June 5, 1998
=================================================================
OBJECTIVES
Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery has become an active area of
research, attracting people from several disciplines: database
systems, AI, machine learning, statistics, information retrieval, and
data visualization. Data mining products and toolkits are now
commercially available, and serious industrial applications are being
developed. There are several interdisciplinary conferences on the
topic of data mining. The Workshop on Research Issues in Data Mining
and Knowledge Discovery (DMKD) was started two years ago as a forum for
database researchers to discuss issues related to data mining from
large databases and data warehouses. The first two workshops were held
in conjunction with SIGMOD/PODS 1996 and 1997, and were successful in
attracting a large number of participants. These two workshops focused
primarily on advances in data mining algorithms and techniques. These
topics have now become standard fare in the programs of leading
database conferences. Therefore, we have chosen to emphasize a
somewhat different theme for this year's workshop. Our objective is to
bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss research
issues and experience in developing and deploying data mining systems,
applications, and solutions.
FORMAT
The workshop will be held the day following the SIGMOD /PODS'98
conference. We expect about half a day to be devoted to technical
presentations based on accepted papers. The program will also include
several invited speakers from industry who will share their experience
in developing and deploying data mining technology, and there will be
time to discuss issues related to building data mining systems.
May Day for Missing Data!
The Chicago Chapter of the American Statistical Association is pleased to
announce a conference on Statistical Analysis with Missing Data to be held
on May 1, 1998. Invited speakers include Rod Little (University of
Michigan), Joe Schafer (Penn State University), Nancy Cook (Harvard Medical
School), and David Judkins(Westat, Inc.). Additionally, representatives
from software companies
SOLAS and SPSS will present use of their programs for missing data. For

Subject: ECAI Workshop on Synthesis Of Intelligent Agent
Synthesis Of Intelligent Agent Systems From Experimental Data
A Workshop at ECAI'98, Brighton, UK
Organizing Committee: Jan Komorowski, Norway/Sweden, Chair; Ivo
Duentsch, North Ireland, Andrzej Skowron, Poland
ABSTRACT
Two major questions arise in the analysis and synthesis of the behavior
of intelligent agents:
- how an intelligent agent discovers decision rules from
experimental data,
- what is a general framework for approximate reasoning about
teams of intelligent agents.
We invite submission of original papers (up to 10 pages) reporting on
research in progress that investigates applications of approximate
reasoning techniques to synthesis of intelligent agents. The papers
will be reviewed by the the workshop organizing committee.
Approximately 8 papers will be selected for full presentation at the
workshop; all other papers judged to be of sufficiently high quality
will be accepted for publication in the proceedings of the workshop.
(For style guidelines see http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/ecai98/style.html
Much attention has recently focused on rough sets, Boolean reasoning
techniques and rough mereology as appropriate techniques for answering
several of the above questions. During the workshop we wish to
investigate these and related approaches such as, for instance,
case-based, statistical, modal and multi-valued logics and logic
programming applied to the problem of synthesis from experimental
data. Theoretical, applied and comparative work will be considered.
After the workshop, the authors will be invited to submit revised and
full versions of their papers to be evaluated for a collected
publication.
Workshop participation is limited to 30 people. Priority will be given
to authors of the submitted papers. All participants must register for
ECAI98.
About four central topics will be introduced by invited experts in the
field. Abstracts of their presentations will be posted on the web in
January 1998.
Important dates:
Submission of the papers: 3 April 1998
Notification of acceptance: 11 May 1998
Camera ready papers: 1 June 1998
