The Seventh ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
August 26 - 29, 2001
San Francisco, California, USA

On-line, interconnected systems offer unprecedented opportunities for discovery and learning from the wealth of accompanying data. Extracting useful knowledge from such data is becoming more difficult, as volume and complexity push traditional techniques beyond their limits. Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) techniques automate the process of extracting knowledge from data. The annual ACM SIGKDD conference brings together researchers and practitioners focusing on new developments and challenges in KDD brought about by this data explosion.
Suggested Paper Topics include (but are not limited to):
Methods and Algorithms: data mining, web mining, text mining, mining time-series data, mining mixed-type data, mining high-dimensional data, incorporating domain knowledge, open-ended discovery, scalable algorithms, statistical methods, unconventional knowledge representations.
The KDD Process: process modeling, process automation, data cleaning, human involvement, visualization, interactive exploration, interestingness, evaluating knowledge and discoveries.
Integrated Systems: embedded KDD techniques, unification of mining with database architectures, integration of data mining/warehousing/OLAP, exploration and discovery systems.
Applications and Experiences: e-commerce, privacy issues, personalization, activity monitoring, scientific applications, benchmarks, new application areas, tools, commercial successes or failures.
