DDDM 2008: The 2 nd International Workshop on Domain Driven Data Mining

1. DDDM 2008: The 2nd International Workshop on Domain Driven Data Mining Philip S. Yu, Yanchang Zhao, Graham Williams, Carlos Soares

2. Outline • DDDM: Domain Driven Data Mining • DDDM 2007 • DDDM 2008 Data Sciences & Knowledge Discovery Research Lab

3. Background • In the last decade, data mining has emerged as one of most vivacious areas in information technology. • Although many algorithms and techniques for data mining have been proposed, it still remains an open problem to successfully apply them to discover actionable knowledge in real-life applications in various domains. Data Sciences & Knowledge Discovery Research Lab

4. DDDM • The International Workshop on Domain Driven Data Mining (DDDM) • Aims: • To provide a premier forum for sharing findings, knowledge, insight, experience and lessons in tackling potential challenges in discovering actionable knowledge from complex domain problems, • To promote the interaction of and bridge the gap between data mining research and business expectations, and • To drive a paradigm shift from traditional data-centered hidden pattern mining to domain-driven actionable knowledge discovery. Data Sciences & Knowledge Discovery Research Lab

5. Objectives • To design next-generation data mining methodology for actionable knowledge discovery and identify how KDD techniques can better contribute to critical domain problems in theory and practice; • To devise domain-driven data mining techniques to strengthen business intelligence in complex enterprise applications; • To present the applications of domain-driven data mining and demonstrate how KDD can be effectively deployed to solve complex practical problems; and • To identify challenges and future directions for data mining research and development in the dialogue between academia and industry.
