4:30-5:15PM, Duffy/Columbia Room, 7th Floor
Gordon Linoff (Data Miners, gordon@data-miners.com)
Data Mining in the Real World. This presentation will discuss the
issues of data mining in the real world. It will touch on the
relationship of data mining with a data warehouse (is it really
easier?) and on issues related to managing data and choosing
particular techniques.
Saturday, August 29, 1998
12:00-12:45PM, Duffy/Columbia Room, 7th Floor
Shivakumar Vaithaynathan (IBM Research, vaithyan@us.ibm.com)
Data Mining On the Internet: Overview, Algorithmic Challenges and
Applications. The advent of the World Wide Web has caused a
dramatic increase in the usage of the Internet. The resulting
growth in on-line information combined with the almost chaotic
nature of the web necessitates the development of powerful yet
computationally efficient algorithms. In this talk, I will provide
examples of applications where data mining could be applied and
then focus on the algorithmic challenges along. I will also
discuss some new algorithms and provide some results.
4:30-5:15PM, Duffy/Columbia Room, 7th Floor
Ismail Parsa (Epsilon, iparsa@epsilon.com)
Data Mining Tools. The data mining tools marketplace is diverse.
There are tools that offer broad-based data mining capability,
tools aimed at solving the problems of a particular industry,
tools combined with a service offering, black-box tools and
vendors/tools offering custom solutions such as CRM, campaign
management, etc.
We will first segment the data mining tools marketplace. We will
then learn how to differentiate between the many data mining tools
for the best return on investment. We will finally review the
summary results of a real-life data mining tool evaluation case
study. Come see what all the hype is all about!

| KDD-98 Conference |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
KDD-98 is the premiere event for the data mining community, bringing
together researchers, practitioners and application developers from
different KDD related fields such as machine learning, statistics,
databases, data visualization, database marketing and finance to
share ideas/experiences, and to explore new concepts, applications,
tools and techniques. For more information about the conference,
please visit URL: http://www.kdnuggets.com/kdd98.
Come confer with us in the midst of technical discussions, demos,
exhibits and refreshments.
If you plan to attend, please R.S.V.P <iparsa@epsilon.com> so we can
plan accordingly.
With warm regards,
Ismail Parsa
