      The Fifth Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data
      Mining (PAKDD-01) will be an international forum for the sharing of
      original and innovative research results and practical applications
      and experiences among researchers and application developers from
      the many constituent areas of KDD, including artificial
      intelligence, databases, e-commerce, Internet computing, machine
      learning, high performance computing, statistics and
      visualization. This conference builds on the success of PAKDD-97
      (Singapore), PAKDD-98 (Australia), PAKDD-99 (China) and PAKDD-00
      (Japan) by bringing together participants from universities,
      industry and government.
      
      With the growing number of successful applications and systems
      development in KDD in enterprise computing and e-commerce the
      conference encourages submissions on practical experiences in
      applying KDD techniques to real-world applications.

    KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

      Two keynote presentations from international leaders in Knowledge
      Discovery and Data Mining have been confirmed:

      Ronny Kohavi, Director of Data Mining, Blue Martini Software

      Ronny Kohavi is well known for his work on the Silicon Graphics
      MineSet project for data mining and visualization. He joined
      Silicon Graphics after getting a Ph.D. in Machine Learning from
      Stanford University, where he led the MLC++ project, the Machine
      Learning library in C++. Kohavi co-chaired the KDD 99 industrial
      track and KDD Cup 2000. He co-edited a special issue of the journal
      Machine Learning on Applications of Machine Learning and the special
      issue of the Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery journal on
      Applications of Data Mining to Electronic Commerce.

      Professor H. V. Jagadish, University of Michigan

      Professor Jagadish obtained his Ph.D. from Stanford and spent
      several years as head of the database department at AT&T. Prior to
      Michigan he was at the University of Illinois. His research spans
      many aspects of database systems, particularly in the context of the
      internet and XML.
