Knowledge discovery in databases

Más información sobre el libro

The two premier annual European conferences in machine learning and data mining have been collocated since the joint conference in Freiburg, Germany, in 2001. The European Conference on Machine Learning began 20 years ago, following the first European Working Session on Learning in Orsay, France, in 1986. The conference continues to grow and remains vibrant. The European Conference on Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases marks its tenth anniversary, having started in 1997 in Trondheim, Norway. Over the years, the ECML/PKDD series has become one of the largest and most selective international conferences, uniquely serving as a common forum for these closely related fields. In 2006, the 6th collocated ECML/PKDD was held from September 18-22 at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, featuring the 17th European Conference on Machine Learning and the 10th European Conference on Knowledge Discovery in Databases. The hierarchical reviewing process introduced in 2005 was continued in 2006, with 32 Area Chairs overseeing various research topics based on submission statistics to ensure balanced workloads. For the first time, a joint Program Committee was formed, consisting of 280 esteemed researchers, primarily nominated by the Area Chairs.
