The deadline for the Call For Papers for KDD-97 has past.


The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Theory and Foundational Issues in KDD
Probabilistic/statistical modeling and uncertainty management
Data and knowledge representation
Modeling of structured, unstructured and multimedia data
Fundamental advances in search, retrieval, and discovery methods

Data Mining Methods and Algorithms
Probabilistic and statistical models and methods
Algorithmic complexity, efficiency and scalability issues in data mining
Using prior domain knowledge and re-use of discovered knowledge
Data mining techniques implemented on scalable platforms, including parallel, distributed and clustered systems
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
Resource and knowledge discovery using the Internet

This list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive but an indication of typical topics of interest. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers on any topics of relevance to knowledge discovery and data mining.


Following the success of the demonstration sessions in previous KDD conferences, the KDD-97 program will also include demonstrations of knowledge discovery products, knowledge discovery applications and research prototypes. Unlike previous demonstration sessions, we will clearly differentiate between commercial product demonstrations and research demonstrations. More details on demonstrations and exhibits are available.


Both research and applications papers are solicited. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance to KDD, novelty, significance, and clarity. Authors are encouraged to make their work accessible to readers from other disciplines by including a carefully written introduction. Papers should clearly state their relevance to KDD.
Please submit 7 hardcopies of a short paper (a maximum of 9 single-spaced pages not including cover page and bibliography, 1 inch margins, and 12pt font) to be received by March 10, 1997. A cover page must include author(s) full address, email, paper title and a 200 word abstract, and up to 5 keywords. This cover page must accompany the paper. In addition, an ASCII version of the cover page must be submitted electronically by March 3 1997 (earlier if possible), preferrably using a WWW form located at http://www-aig.jpl.nasa.gov/kdd97/. If the WWW form cannot be used, please submit the ascii cover page by email to kdd97pgm@aig.jpl.nasa.gov, using the template available by ftp at KDD97 abstract template.
Please mail the 7 hardcopies of the full papers to:

AAAI (KDD-97)

  • 7 copies of full papers received by March 10, 1997 (in addition to an electronic ASCII title page)
  • Acceptance notices April 28, 1997
  • Final camera-ready papers due to AAAI by May 26, 1997


Click here to submit electronically. Deadline March 3, 1997.


As in previous KDD conferences, the KDD-97 program will include panel discussions. A great panel requires an interesting topic, good speakers, and proper preparation. To facilitate all three we solicit early suggestions. Please submit suggestions for topics and preferably also for panelists who could represent diverse positions or approaches of the topic. Suggested topics should relate to any of the main KDD-97 topics (see KDD97 home page below). The panel topics should be of general interest for a large part of the KDD audience and allow several (controversial) approaches to be discussed.
Please email informal suggestions by April 2, 1997 (earlier if possible) to Willi Kloesgen at kloesgen@gmd.de.
