    Special Issue on Constraints in Data Mining

    Guest editor: Roberto Bayardo

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    SIGKDD Explorations is the official newsletter of ACM's Special
    Interest Group (SIG) on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining. This
    special issue invites submissions which explore novel applications and
    uses of constraints in knowledge discovery and data mining.

    Constraints play many important roles in KDD, among them:

    o controlling search cost
    o enabling comprehensible visualizations
    o improving accuracy, interpretability and stability of classification
    and other models.

    While papers on improving data-mining algorithm performance
    through constaints will be welcome, we particularly encourage
    submissions which propose novel methods of dealing with or exploiting
    constraints within the knowledge discovery process. Example topics of
    interest might include methods for aiding the end user in setting or
    understanding the effects of constraints, techniques for optimizing
    models given a number of conflicting constraints, applications of
    constraints to phases of knowledge discovery such as data cleansing or
    data presentation, and theoretical underpinnings of constraint-based
    mining.

    We invite high quality submissions on the above topics for this
    special issue. Submissions should be made to the guest editor at
    bayardo@almaden.ibm.com. Submissions will be reviewed by the guest
    editor, external reviewers and/or associate editors as appropriate.

    The previous issues of the SIGKDD Explorations are available online at
