KDD-99: The ACM SIGKDD Fifth International Conference
on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
August 15-18, 1999, San Diego, CA, USA
http://research.microsoft.com/datamine/kdd99/
Sponsored by:
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) - SIGKDD
Co-sponsored by:
AAAI, ACM SIGMOD, and ACM SIGART
The continuing rapid growth of on-line data and the widespread use of
databases necessitate the development of techniques for extracting
useful knowledge and for facilitating database access. The challenge
of extracting knowledge from data is of common interest to several
fields, including statistics, databases, pattern recognition, machine
learning, data visualization, optimization, and high-performance
computing. KDD-99 will focus on techniques, applications, and
experiences, bringing together researchers and practitioners.
Starting this year, the KDD series will represent the annual
conferences of the newly formed SIGKDD--the ACM Special Interest Group
on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining.
