Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), also referred to as Data Mining,
is an area of common interest to researchers in machine discovery,
statistics, databases, knowledge acquisition, machine learning, data
visualization, high performance computing, and knowledge-based systems. The
rapid growth of data and information has created a need and an opportunity for
extracting knowledge from databases, and both researchers and application
developers have been responding to that need. KDD applications have been
developed for astronomy, biology, finance, insurance, marketing, medicine,
and many other fields.
The first international conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data
Mining (KDD-95), held in Montreal in August 1995, was an outstanding success,
attracting over 340 participants. The second international conference
will follow up the success of KDD-95 by bringing together researchers and
application developers from different areas focusing on unifying themes.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Theory and Foundational Issues in KDD:
Data and knowledge representation for KDD
Probabilistic modeling and uncertainty management in KDD
Modeling of structured, unstructured and multimedia data
Metrics for evaluation of KDD results
Fundamental advances in search, retrieval, and discovery methods
Definitions, formalisms, and theoretical issues in KDD
Data Mining Methods and Algorithms:
Algorithmic complexity, efficiency and scalability issues in data mining
Probabilistic and statistical models and methods
Using prior domain knowledge and re-use of discovered knowledge
Parallel and distributed data mining techniques
High dimensional datasets and data preprocessing
Unsupervised discovery and predictive modeling
KDD Process and Human Interaction:
Models of the KDD process
Methods for evaluating subjective relevance and utility
Data and knowledge visualization
Interactive data exploration and discovery
Privacy and security
Applications:
Data mining systems and data mining tools
Application of KDD in business, science, medicine and engineering
Application of KDD methods for mining knowledge in text, image,
audio, sensor, numeric, categorical or mixed format data

EXPERT SYSTEMS 95:
DEVELOPMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY; SUCCESSES IN APPLICATION
INTRODUCTION
Expert Systems '95 is the fifteenth Annual Conference of the British
Computer Society's Specialist Group on Expert Systems (SGES). The two
principal aims of the Conference are to review the recent technical
advances in Knowledge-based systems technology and, importantly, show
how this leading edge technology has been applied to solve business
problems. To meet
these objectives, ES95 has a number of parallel sessions on both the
technology and applications. The programme also includes tutorials to
provide greater depth in four selected topics. We are confident that ES95
has the widest possible appeal to the industrial,commercial and academic
communities throughout Europe.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The Conference is aimed at those who wish to update themselves with news
and views of recent developments, understand how other groups are
applying the technology and exchange ideas with leading international
experts in the field. Our goal, as always, is for ES95 to be a meeting
place for the international knowledge based systems community. The
two-track Conference, the Tutorials and the Exhibition are designed to
provide a wide range of options for delegates, whether they are newcomers
to the technology or seasoned practitioners. The social programme
provides an opportunity to relax, meet old friends and make new contacts.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
OPENING APPLICATIONS KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Professor Mark Fox:University of Toronto, Canada
Mark Fox is Professor of Industrial Engineering and holder of the NSERC
Industrial Research Chair in Enterprise Integration. Prior to his return
to Toronto, he was director of the Centre for Integrated Manufacturing
Systems of The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University and
supervised one of the largest efforts in the United States focused on
extending and Applying
Intelligent Systems, including Artificial Intelligence and Operations
Research, to engineering and manufacturing problems. He is also
co-founder and past president of Carnegie Group, Inc., a knowledge-based
software company that focuses on engineering, manufacturing and
telecommunications applications.
TECHNICAL KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Towards Soft Computing - E H Mamdani:Imperial College, England
This talk will re-examine the epistemology of AI and suggest that to make
further progress requires an eclectic approach to various available
techniques. This fusion of methods of AI and also fusion of AI and HCI
has been termed Soft Computing. Any attempt at fusion brings with it new
problems that have to be solved. That is the main challenge for Soft
Computing.
Professor Mamdani is one of the originators of fuzzy logic and is heavily
involved in the integration of fuzzy logic with other computing paradigms.
THE GREAT DEBATE
"Does the Knowledge Acquisition Bottleneck Still Exist?"
CHAIRMAN:Professor Derek Sleeman:University of Aberdeen
INCLUDING: Nigel Shadbolt:Nottingham University;
Ian Nabney:Aston University;
John Hunt:University of Aberystwyth;
Stephen Muggleton:Oxford University;
Colin Shearer:Integral Solutions Ltd
TUTORIALS
a.m.Integration of Finite Constraint Satisfaction Programming
Techniques in Object Oriented Languages
P Roy, F Pachet:LAFORIA-IBP, Universite Paris 6, France
This tutorial aims at introducing the area of finite domain
constraint satisfaction programming (CSP) and its integration
with full-fledged object-oriented languages. In the first part
the main principles of CSP are presented, through the use of
simple examples (algorithms for arc-consistency and enumeration).
In the second part we show how object structures may be used in
conjunction with CSP and what kind of problems this combination
of techniques allows us to solve naturally. The BackTalk system
(a canonical integration of CSP techniques in Smalltalk) will be
used as an exemplar system throughout the tutorial and demos of
working systems will illustrate the course. A basic knowledge
of object-oriented programming is required.
Merging Symbolic Reasoning with Subsymbolic Tasks
J Zeleznikow:La Trobe University; D Hunter:University of
Melbourne, Australia
Traditional expert systems used deductive reasoning to model
expert's knowledge. Such systems have failed to directly use
data, do not provide alternative and possibly completing
strategies and perform inadequate argumentation and explanation.
We propose the use of induction, case-based reasoning and neural
networks and an integration of these strategies, to build second
generation expert systems. The aim of this tutorial is to
demonstrate how traditional symbolic artificial intelligence
paradigms can be supplemented with numerical and statistical
techniques to build second generation expert systems. Attendees
should have a minimal knowledge of rule based expert systems.
p.m.Effective Diagnosis Systems
C Price and John Hunt:University of Aberystwyth, Wales
This tutorial will be of relevance to anyone planning to build
practical systems for the following diagnostic tasks:diagnosis
of complex machinery - remediation of real-time process problems
- intelligent user-oriented help. It will look at the main types
of successful diagnostic applications and explain the choices for
building each type, with examples and some demonstrations, and
considering techniques used, information required, how the
systems have been built and how maintainable they are.
Technologies covered will include case-based reasoning, rule-
based systems, real-time diagnostic tools, causal nets,
functional models and reasoning from first principles.
Case Based Reasoning Development Tools
I Watson:University of Salford, England
A follow up to the successful tutorial on Case-Based Reasoning
(CBR) held at ES94, this will be of value to companies or
researchers planning to investigate the potential of CBR and
require advice on software selection and to people who would like
to see how the theory of CBR is implemented. The tutorial will
introduce delegates to features of the CBR tools currently on the
market and the functionality of CBR Express, ESTEEM and ReMind
will be demonstrated in detail, thus providing a comprehensive
review and comparison of available CBR software. Delegates will
be provided with a report summarising the content of thetutorial.
