PKDD'98 -- 2nd European Symposium on Principles of
Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
Nantes, France
September 23-26, 1998
http://www.sciences.univ-nantes.fr/pkdd98
Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) have emerged
from acombination of many research areas: databases, statistics,
machinelearning, automated scientific discovery, inductive logic
programming, artificial intelligence, visualization, decision science,
and high performance computing.
While each of these areas can contribute in specific ways, KDD focuses
on the value that is added by creative combination of the contributing
areas. The goal of PKDD'98 is to provide a European-based forum for
interaction among all theoreticians and practitioners interested in
data mining. Interdisciplinary collaboration is one desired outcome,
but the main long-term focus is on theoretical principles for the
emerging discipline of KDD, especially on KDD-specific principles that
go beyond each contributing area.
Both theoretical and applied submissions are sought. Reviewers will
assess the contribution towards the principles of KDD, in addition to
the usual requirements of relevance, novelty, clarity and
significance. Applied papers should go beyond an individual
application, presenting an explicit method that promises a degree of
generality within one or more stages of the discovery process, such as
preprocessing, mining, visualization, use of prior knowledge,
knowledge refinement, and evaluation. Theoretical papers should
demonstrate how the proposed theoretical contribution advances the
discovery process.
The following non-exclusive list exemplifies topics of interest:
Data and knowledge representation for data mining
* Beyond relational databases: new forms of data organization
* Data reduction
* Prior domain knowledge and use of discovered knowledge
* Combining query systems with discovery capabilities
Statistics and probability in data mining
* Discovery of probabilistic networks
* Modelling knowledge uncertainty
* Discovery of exceptions and deviations
* Statistical significance in large-scale search
* The problems of over-fit
Logic-based perspective on data mining
* Inference of knowledge from data
* Exploring different subspaces of first order logic
* Rough sets in data mining
* Boolean approaches to data mining
* Inductive Logic Programming for mining real databases
* Pattern-recognition for data mining
* The use of tolerance (similarity) relations in data mining
* KDD-motivated discretization of data
* Discovery of approximate schemes of reasoning from data
Man-Machine interaction in data mining
* Visualization of data
* Visualization of knowledge
* Interface design
* Interactive data mining: human and computer contributions
Artificial Intelligence contributions to KDD
* Representing knowledge and hypotheses spaces
* Search for knowledge and its complexities
* Combining many methods in one system
* Data mining in distributed/multiagent systems
High performance computing for data mining
* Hardware support for KDD
* Parallel discovery algorithms and complexity
* Distributed data mining
* Scalability in high dimensional datasets
* From concept learning to concept discovery
* Expanding the autonomy of machine learners
* Embedding learning methods in KDD systems
* Conceptual clustering in knowledge discovery
* Applications of scientific discovery systems to databases

* Differences between the data handled in both fields
* KDD applications on scientific databases
* Decomposition of large data tables
Quality assessment of data mining results
* Multi-criteria knowledge evaluation
* Benchmarks and metrics for system evaluation

possible. All items should be sent to the following addresses:
* Regular mail: Mohamed Quafafou - PKDD'98 Conference (see full
address below)
* Electronic mail : pkdd98 at irin.univ-nantes.fr
All accepted for regular and poster presentations will be published by

Subject: Comparative Slavic Morphosyntax
CALL FOR PAPERS
Indiana University invites you to submit abstracts to a workshop
(funded by the U.S. Department of Education) on
COMPARATIVE SLAVIC MORPHOSYNTAX
The workshop will be held at Canyon Inn, in McCormick's Creek State
Park, Spencer, Indiana (near Bloomington) on Friday-Sunday 5-7 June
1998.
Papers are solicited in response to five invited "position papers":
Leonard Babby:
"Voice and Diathesis in Slavic"
Zeljko Boskovic:
"Wh-phrases and wh-movement in Slavic"
Greville Corbett:
"Agreement in Slavic"
Steven Franks:
"Clitics in Slavic"
Gilbert Rappaport:
"Noun Phrases in Slavic"
These position papers are intended to summarize the variation in data
across the Slavic languages, define the "state of the art" in existing
analysis for each area, communicate innovations and on-going research,
and identify an agenda for future investigation. As such, they are
meant to serve as springboards for discussion, rebuttal, response, and
debate. This call for papers solicits responses in two categories: 10
minute presentations (+ 5 minute discussion) or 20 minutes (+ 10
minute discussion). You may respond to one or several position papers,
but must submit an advance abstract for each response; there is no set
limit on the number of responses which may be accepted from any one
individual.
The position papers can be downloaded via the internet in
platform-independent pdf, ps, and html formats (the html versions will
be posted last) from:
<http://www.indiana.edu/~slavconf/linguistics/index.html>
If you cannot download or use electronic versions of the position
papers, you may request a printed copy of any of the papers from the
address below. However, However, in view of our limited budget and
staff resources, we urge you to utilize the electronic versions if
possible.
Proposals for reponses may be submitted to the address
below. Abstracts should be no more than one page, including examples
and references. Include your name and affiliation directly on the
abstract, and please attach a card with your name, address, e-mail,
phone, title, and position paper to which you are responding. Please
send 4 copies of each abstract, and indicate the length category for
your response. We will also accept submissions via email to
<slavconf at indiana.edu> or fax (to 1-812-855-2107). Paper submission is
preferable, however, as these abstracts will be used as camera-ready
copy in making the abstract book for the workshop.
Deadline for receipt of abstracts: 24 April 1998.
Registration for the conference will be free of charge for all
participants, but we regret that our budget does not permit us to
underwrite travel or local expenses. Information about travel and
accommodations will be provided later via announcements and our www
page.
A volume of proceedings will be published by Slavica Publishers.
All requests for information, inquiries about position papers, and
abstracts should be sent to:
