CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS
I International Conference on INDUCTIVE MODELLING
ICIM'2002
May 20-25, 2002
Lviv, Ukraine

Submission deadline: February 20, 2002
*********************************************************************
The I International Conference on Inductive Modelling (ICIM-2002) will
present the latest high-quality results in the growing field of inductive
methods in data mining and forecasting, pattern recognition and parallel
computing. Inductive modelling is an important area, based on sorting
methods of artificial intelligence problems solution. The aim of the
Conference is to bring together leading scientists, researchers and
experts from different areas, who can make significant contribution
to development and better understanding of inductive modelling methods.
Conference topics include, but are not limited to:
- Principles and theoretical foundations of inductive modelling.
- Data mining, laws extracting and knowledge discovery.
- Parallel computing
- Time series analysis and forecasting.
- Information and hybrid systems.
- Neural networks and genetic algorithms.
- Pattern recognition and clustering.
- Parametric methods of modelling, machine learning, and
evolutionary computation.
- Non-parametric methods: search of analogues, fuzzy logic and
probabilistic modelling
- Selection and construction of criteria for model structure optimization.
- Comparison of different approaches for artificial intelligence problems
solution.
- Estimation of inductive methods efficiency in modelling and prediction.
- Application of inductive approach to solution of AI problems.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of Conference is to analyse the current progress in development of
inductive approach to artificial intelligence problems solution.
Methods of inductive modelling allow to find automatically models of optimal
complexity for real data and therefore can improve the accuracy of AI problems
solution. Inductive modelling has objective character and therefore can help to
avoid invalid decisions of experts. Inductive approach also considerably
enriches existing methods of data mining and knowledge discovery by new
possibilities to increase accuracy and lead-time of predictions. Methods of
parallel computing are adequate for self-organizing algorithms, allowing to
increase considerably the dimensionality of processed data.
Among the highlights of the Conference there will be issues of theory
development, algorithms and applications of the Group Method of Data Handling
(GMDH) as first realization of inductive idea in modelling. Conference
participants will have the opportunity to discuss fundamentals and state of art
in inductive modelling, plans for software and hardware development,
organization of cooperation, and discuss ways for enhancing of effectiveness of
complex systems modelling.
