John Elder, CEO & Founder, Elder Research, Inc.

Case Studies: How the Leading Enterprises Do It

Predictive Analytics World focuses on concrete examples of deployed predictive
analytics. You can hear from the horse's mouth precisely how Fortune 500
analytics competitors and other top practitioners deploy predictive modeling,
and what kind of business impact it delivers.

PAW's Chicago 2012 program is one of the richest and most diverse yet, featuring
over 25 sessions across 2 tracks:   1) "All Audiences," and 2)
"Expert/Practitioner," -- so you can witness how predictive analytics is applied
by Adobe, AlphaGenius, Accenture, Allstate, British Broadcasting Company, City
of Chicago, eBay, Hewlett-Packard, Mazda, Microsoft, MTV Networks, Nielson,
Nokia Siemens Networks, Paychex, Pfizer, Rebellion Research, Silicon Valley
Bank, Telenor, Topsy, Traveler's Insurance, TTX (leading railway company), US
Bank, Western Union, A U.S. Special Forces, Wikipedia, a financial services
enterprise, and a top global retailer.

HOT TOPICS AND ADVANCED METHODS: PAW Chicago's agenda covers advanced predictive
modeling methods, analytical traction, big data, blackbox trading, cloud
analytics, customer retention, crowdsourcing, predictive analytics, data
visualization, enterprise dynamics, enterprise-wide decisioning, financial
services, fraud detection, healthcare analytics, HR analytics, insurance, market
research, online marketing, open question answering, public sector applications,
real estate market scoring, reliability modeling, risk management, segment
analysis, social data for financial indicators, social media analytics,

Workshop on Evolving Predictive Systems
co-located with the 12th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving
From Nature (PPSN-2012)
September 1-5, 2012
Taormina, Italy
In recent years, the data mining scientific community witnessed a very
strong demand for predictive systems that will be able to evolve and
adapt. The range of tasks fulfilled by evolving predictive systems is
very broad and covering many different application areas. Despite the
high number of publications dealing with applications, there are
still unaddressed pressing issues of evolving predictive systems design and
development, such as
complexity analysis, ensemble architectures and meta-learning. This
workshop is devoted to the discussion of robust, context aware and
easy-to-use evolving predictive systems, which improve, adapt and
possibly maintain themselves within their respective environments and
constraints.  Contributions presenting recent work on ensemble systems,
complexity analysis and meta-learning are particularly welcome.
The workshop addresses people from the scientific IT community who are
active in the research domain of data-driven systems capable to adapt to
changing situations and environments. The considered approaches can
include evolutionary algorithms, other nature-inspired methods or
heuristic approaches. Special focus will be put on research dealing with
ensemble architectures, as well as with complexity issues (size, form
and interpretation of the solution formula, time and algorithm
complexity) and meta-learning incorporation.
Researchers are invited to submit original work as papers of not more
than 10 pages. Authors are encouraged to submit their papers in LaTeX. Papers
must be submitted in Springer Verlag's LNCS style.
Topics of interest
Topics that are in the area of interest of the workshop include, but are not
limited to:
•             Advanced Modelling Techniques for Evolving
Predictive Systems
•             Evolving Predictive Ensembles
•             Complexity Analysis for Evolving Predictive Systems

Tenth workshop on Mining and Learning with Graphs (MLG-2012).
http://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/events/mlg2012/

                Edinburg, July 1st, 2012
                Co-located with ICML-2012
#########################################################
Introduction:
There is a great deal of interest in analyzing data that is best represented as
a graph. Examples include the WWW, social networks, biological networks,
communication networks, food webs, and many others. The importance of being able
to effectively mine and learn from such data is growing, as more and more
structured and semi-structured data is becoming available. Traditionally, a
number of subareas have worked with mining and learning from graph structured
data, including communities in graph mining, learning from structured data,
statistical relational learning, inductive logic programming, and, moving beyond
subdisciplines in computer science, social network analysis, and, more broadly
network science. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers
from a variety of these areas, and discuss commonality and differences in
challenges faced, survey some of the different approaches, and provide a forum
for to present and learn about some of the most cutting edge research in this
area. As an outcome, we expect participants to walk away with a better sense of
the variety of different tools available for graph mining and learning, and an
appreciation for some of the interesting emerging applications for mining and
learning from graphs.

The goal of this workshop will be to structure and explore the state-of-the-art
algorithms and methods, to examine graph-based models in the context of
real-world applications, and to identify future challenges and issues. In
particular we are interested in the following topics:
* Relationships between mining and learning with graphs and statistical
relational learning
* Relationships between mining and learning with graphs and inductive logic
programming
* Relationships between mining and learning with graphs and algorithmic graph
theory and related fields
* Kernel methods for structured data
* Probabilistic models for structured data
* Graph mining
* (Multi-)relational data mining
* Methods for structured outputs
* Network analysis
* Large-scale learning and applications
* Sampling issues in graph algorithms
* Evaluation of graph algorithms
* Graph mining benchmarks and datasets
* Applications of graph mining in real world domain

Submission Guildance:
We invite both full papers presenting new contributions and short papers
describing work in progress or open problems.  Full papers should be at most 8
pages (ICML format), short papers and open problem statements at most 3 pages.

Papers can be submitted online via
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?timeout=1;conf=mlg2012

Authors whose papers were accepted to the workshop will have the opportunity to
give a short presentation at the workshop as well as present their work in a
poster session.


Important dates:
Paper submission deadline    May 7th

DART 2012
6th International Workshop on
Information Filtering and Retrieval: novel distributed systems and applications
http://www.ic3k.org/DART.aspx

October 5-6, 2012
Barcelona (Spain)

satellite event of KDIR 2012
http://www.kdir.ic3k.org

Twitter http://www.twitter.com/dart2012ws
********************************************************************************

Nowadays users are more and more interested in information rather than in mere
raw data. The huge amount of accessible data sources is growing rapidly. This
calls for novel systems providing effective means of searching and retrieving
information with the fundamental goal of making it exploitable by humans and
machines.
DART focuses on researching and studying new challenges in distributed
information filtering and retrieval. In particular, DART aims to investigate
novel systems and tools to distributed scenarios and environments. DART will
contribute to discuss and compare suitable novel solutions based on intelligent
techniques and applied in real-world applications.
Information Retrieval attempts to address similar filtering and ranking problems
for pieces of information such as links, pages, and documents.
Information Retrieval systems generally focus on the development of global
retrieval techniques, often neglecting individual user needs and preferences.
Information Filtering has drastically changed the way information seekers find
what they are searching for. In fact, they effectively prune large information
spaces and help users in selecting items that best meet their needs, interests,
preferences, and tastes. These systems rely strongly on the use of various
machine learning tools and algorithms for learning how to rank items and predict
user evaluation.



**************
SUBMISSIONS
**************

DART 2012 is aimed at putting together practitioners and researchers working on
pervasive and intelligent access to distributed information, multimedia, and web
services.

Authors should submit an original paper in English, carefully checked for
correct grammar and spelling, using the on-line submission procedure. The
submission must have up to 13 pages otherwise it will be rejected without
review. Please check the paper formats page so you may be aware of the accepted
paper page limits.
The guidelines for paper formatting provided at the conference web ought to be
used for all submitted papers. The preferred submission format is the same as
the camera-ready format. Please check and carefully follow the instructions and

Hi everyone:

Mark your calendars in September for Predictive Analytics World in Boston.  More
information below.

Predictive Analytics World, Sept 30 � Oct 4, 2012 in Boston
(www.pawcon.com/boston) is the business event for predictive analytics
professionals, managers and commercial practitioners, covering today's
commercial deployment of predictive analytics, across industries and across
software vendors.  The conference delivers case studies, expertise and resources
to achieve two objectives:

Bigger Wins:  Strengthen the business impact delivered by predictive analytics
Broader Capabilities:  Establish new opportunities with predictive analytics
Big Data:  Leverage bigger data for prediction and drive bigger value

PAW Boston is one of the biggest cross-vendor predictive analytics events ever. 
PAW's program is packed with the top predictive analytics experts,
practitioners, authors and business thought leaders, including keynote addresses
from:  Scott Nicholson, Senior Data Scientists, LinkedIn; Anne Robinson,
Director of Supply Chain Strategy & Analytics, Verizon Wireless; Robert Jewell,
Director Global Business Development & Partnerships, IBM Watson Solutions; Marc
Smith, Chief Social Scientists, Connection Action Consulting Group, including a
special session from industry heavy-weight John Elder, CEO & Founder, Elder
Research, Inc.

Case Studies: How the Leading Enterprises Do It

Predictive Analytics World focuses on concrete examples of deployed predictive
analytics. You can hear from the horse's mouth precisely how Fortune 500
analytics competitors and other top practitioners deploy predictive modeling,
and what kind of business impact it delivers.

PAW's Boston 2012 program will feature over 40 sessions with case studies across
2 tracks: 1) All Audiences and 2) Expert/Practitioner so you can witness how
predictive analytics is applied at leading enterprises such as AlphaGenius,
Accenture, Allstate, British Broadcasting Company, eBay, Hewlett-Packard, Large
Movie Studio, Microsoft, MTV Networks, Nielson, Nokia Siemens Networks, Paychex,
Pfizer, Rebellion Research, Silicon Valley Bank, Telenor, Topsy, Traveler`s
Insurance, TTX (leading railway company), Western Union, A U.S. Special Forces,
Wikipedia, a financial services enterprise, and a top global retailer, plus
insight from a project for Anheuser-Busch, the SSA, and Netflix.

HOT TOPICS AND ADVANCED METHODS:  PAW Boston's agenda covers hot topics and
advanced methods such as marketing and CRM (offline and online), response
modeling, customer retention with churn modeling, acquisition of high-value
customers, direct marketing, database marketing, profiling and cloning, online
marketing optimization, behavior-based advertising, email targeting, website
content optimization, product recommendation systems, insurance pricing, credit
scoring, fraud detection, and more.

TEXT ANALYTICS: Text Analytics World (www.tawcon.com/boston), co-located with
PAW Boston October 3-4, provides reasonable cross-registration options so your
breadth of session topics expands to include this rapidly growing field.

WORKSHOPS: PAW also features several full-day pre- and post-conference workshops
that complement the core conference program.

Join PAW and access the premier keynotes, sessions, workshops, exposition,
expert panel, live demos during "Lab session", networking coffee breaks,
reception, birds-of-a-feather lunches, brand-name enterprise leaders, and
industry heavyweights in the business.

Cross-Industry Applications:

Predictive Analytics World is the only conference of its kind, delivering
vendor-neutral sessions across verticals such as banking, financial services,
e-commerce, education, government, healthcare, high technology, insurance,
non-profits, publishing, social gaming, retail and telecommunications

And PAW covers the gamut of commercial applications of predictive analytics,
including response modeling, customer retention with churn modeling, product
recommendations, fraud detection, online marketing optimization, human resource
decision-making, law enforcement, sales forecasting, and credit scoring.

Why bring together such a wide range of endeavors?  No matter how you use
predictive analytics, the story is the same:  Predicatively scoring customers
optimizes business performance.  Predictive analytics initiatives across
industries leverage the same core predictive modeling technology, share similar
project overhead and data requirements, and face common process challenges and
analytical hurdles.

Rave Reviews:

"I came to PAW because it provides case studies relevant to my industry. It has
lived up to the expectation and I think it's the best analytics conference I've
ever attended!"

     Shaohua Zhang, Senior Data Mining Analyst
     Rogers Telecommunications

"Hands down, best applied analytics conference I have ever attended. Great
exposure to cutting-edge predictive techniques and I was able to turn around and
apply some of those learnings to my work immediately. I've never been able to
say that after any conference I've attended before!"

     Jon Francis, Senior Statistician
     T-Mobile

2nd Call for papers

DART 2012
6th International Workshop on
Information Filtering and Retrieval: novel distributed systems and applications

http://www.ic3k.org/DART.aspx

October 5-6, 2012
Barcelona (Spain)

satellite event of KDIR 2012
http://www.kdir.ic3k.org

follow us on:
Facebook http://www.facebook.com/events/363066620411238/
Twitter http://www.twitter.com/dart2012ws
********************************************************************************

Nowadays users are more and more interested in information rather than in mere
raw data. The huge amount of accessible data sources is growing rapidly. This
calls for novel systems providing effective means of searching and retrieving
information with the fundamental goal of making it exploitable by humans and
machines.
DART focuses on researching and studying new challenges in distributed
information filtering and retrieval. In particular, DART aims to investigate
novel systems and tools to distributed scenarios and environments. DART will
contribute to discuss and compare suitable novel solutions based on intelligent
techniques and applied in real-world applications.
Information Retrieval attempts to address similar filtering and ranking problems
for pieces of information such as links, pages, and documents.
Information Retrieval systems generally focus on the development of global
retrieval techniques, often neglecting individual user needs and preferences.
Information Filtering has drastically changed the way information seekers find
what they are searching for. In fact, they effectively prune large information
spaces and help users in selecting items that best meet their needs, interests,
preferences, and tastes. These systems rely strongly on the use of various
machine learning tools and algorithms for learning how to rank items and predict
user evaluation.


**************
SUBMISSIONS
**************

DART 2012 is aimed at putting together practitioners and researchers working on
pervasive and intelligent access to distributed information, multimedia, and web
services.

Authors should submit an original paper in English, carefully checked for
correct grammar and spelling, using the on-line submission procedure. The
submission must have up to 13 pages otherwise it will be rejected without
review. Please check the paper formats page so you may be aware of the accepted
paper page limits.
The guidelines for paper formatting provided at the conference web ought to be
used for all submitted papers. The preferred submission format is the same as
the camera-ready format. Please check and carefully follow the instructions and
templates provided. Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its
technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to
which it is applicable.

Papers that are out of the workshop scope or contain any form of plagiarism will
be rejected without reviews. Please read INSTICC's ethical norms regarding
plagiarism and self-plagiarism (http://www.kdir.ic3k.org/NormsPlagiarism.aspx).

Remarks about the on-line submission procedure:
1. A "double-blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate that,
the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper, WITHOUT any
reference to any of the authors. This means that is necessary to remove the
authors personal details, the acknowledgements section and any reference that
may disclose the authors identity.
LaTeX/PS/PDF/DOC/DOCX/RTF format are accepted.
2. The web submission procedure automatically sends an acknowledgement, by
e-mail, to the contact author.

After the reviewing process is completed, the contact author (the author who
submits the paper) of each paper will be notified of the result, by e-mail. The
authors are required to follow the reviews in order to improve their paper
before the camera-ready submission.

***************
PUBLICATIONS
***************

The workshop proceedings will be published in a workshop proceedings book and on
CD-ROM support, under an ISBN reference. Also, all papers presented at the
workshop venue would be available at the SciTePress Digital Library
(http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).

The corresponding-authors will be notified at all time, for the submission,
notification, and confirmation on the attendance.
Submitting a paper to the workshop means that, if the paper is accepted, at
least one author should attend the conference to present the paper and should
then register to the conference with a workshop fee.

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
I trust this e-mail finds you well! You are receiving this e-mail because of
your expertise in the field of data mining and its applications in social
network analysis and fuzzy systems. As such, I would like to cordially invite
you to consider contributing your expertise to a forthcoming book edited by me
entitled Data Mining in Dynamic Social Networks and Fuzzy Systems.
 
With the proliferated use of social networks in today’s modern era, data
mining has found its significant place in social network analysis and its
security. Privacy preservation of social networks is a brewing topic of research
these days. With large amounts of content being posted on social networks,
privacy breach has become one of the prime issues of social networking. Data
mining techniques like classification, clustering, and association rule mining
has been used extensively for social network analysis and data mining techniques
like heuristics based, reconstruction based, and cryptographic techniques that
are being applied on social networks for providing desired security. There are
also various anonymization techniques like clustering and clustering with
constraints that make use of data mining to provide privacy preservation of
released social network data. Much less work has been done in the area of
dynamic social network security and is a
  focus of study for various researchers and practitioners. Social networks
contain a vast amount of information and such high dimensional data are
difficult to be handled by the traditional systems like OLAP. For this, data
mining has proved to be a blessing in disguise. Various data mining and
statistical techniques find its use in analyzing large amounts of online
(Dynamic) social network data, where the interactions among the users of the
network are studied to find out interesting patterns and also to find out
various outliers in the data.
 
The use of fuzzy logic can be intervened with data mining so as to give another
dimension to the concept of data mining. The fuzzy logic is used in data mining
to create a new concept called the fuzzy data mining which makes data mining
more flexible and extends its utility by a large extent in fields such as
intrusion detection, approximations of missing values, power plant
optimizations, human resource management, cross-selling, detection of quality of
water, decision making or medical image processing. The fuzzy logic theory
brings a paradigm in work with the graduation, uncertainty and ambiguity
described by linguistic expressions which uses knowledge that does not have
clearly defined boundaries. Fuzzy theory is useful for data mining systems
performing rule based classification. It provides operations for combining fuzzy
measurements. The future prospect of data mining in the field of fuzzy data
mining would be revealing applications on fuzzy sets.
  The research will be focused on finding the utilization of other techniques of
data mining in fuzzy systems like genetic algorithms. The focus of the study
will also be on how more effective results can be drawn on application of data
mining on fuzzy systems. Considering above facts, there exist a need for an
edited collection of chapters in this area.
 
 
As you have a specific interest in said field, I would like to invite you to
contribute a chapter on this topic.  However, please know that your
contribution would not be limited to that topic; should you be so inclined,

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
I trust this e-mail finds you well! You are receiving this e-mail because of
your expertise in the field of data mining and its applications in social
network analysis and fuzzy systems. As such, I would like to cordially invite
you to consider contributing your expertise to a forthcoming book edited by me
entitled Data Mining in Dynamic Social Networks and Fuzzy Systems.
 
With the proliferated use of social networks in today’s modern era, data
mining has found its significant place in social network analysis and its
security. Privacy preservation of social networks is a brewing topic of research
these days. With large amounts of content being posted on social networks,
privacy breach has become one of the prime issues of social networking. Data
mining techniques like classification, clustering, and association rule mining
has been used extensively for social network analysis and data mining techniques
like heuristics based, reconstruction based, and cryptographic techniques that
are being applied on social networks for providing desired security. There are
also various anonymization techniques like clustering and clustering with
constraints that make use of data mining to provide privacy preservation of
released social network data. Much less work has been done in the area of
dynamic social network security and is a
  focus of study for various researchers and practitioners. Social networks
contain a vast amount of information and such high dimensional data are
difficult to be handled by the traditional systems like OLAP. For this, data
mining has proved to be a blessing in disguise. Various data mining and
statistical techniques find its use in analyzing large amounts of online
(Dynamic) social network data, where the interactions among the users of the
network are studied to find out interesting patterns and also to find out
various outliers in the data.
 
The use of fuzzy logic can be intervened with data mining so as to give another
dimension to the concept of data mining. The fuzzy logic is used in data mining
to create a new concept called the fuzzy data mining which makes data mining
more flexible and extends its utility by a large extent in fields such as
intrusion detection, approximations of missing values, power plant
optimizations, human resource management, cross-selling, detection of quality of
water, decision making or medical image processing. The fuzzy logic theory
brings a paradigm in work with the graduation, uncertainty and ambiguity
described by linguistic expressions which uses knowledge that does not have
clearly defined boundaries. Fuzzy theory is useful for data mining systems
performing rule based classification. It provides operations for combining fuzzy
measurements. The future prospect of data mining in the field of fuzzy data
mining would be revealing applications on fuzzy sets.
  The research will be focused on finding the utilization of other techniques of
data mining in fuzzy systems like genetic algorithms. The focus of the study
will also be on how more effective results can be drawn on application of data
mining on fuzzy systems. Considering above facts, there exist a need for an

##############################################################
                 ICML 2013 Call for Papers
##############################################################

The 30th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML
2013) will be held at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, in Atlanta
Georgia, from June 16 to 21, 2013. The conference will consist
of one day of tutorials, followed by three days of main
conference sessions, followed by two days of workshops. All
topics related to machine learning are eligible for papers,
tutorials or workshops.

This year there will be three reviewing cycles for main
conference papers. This is an experimental step toward a
merger of conference and journal formats --- ICML may
ultimately have six two-month reviewing cycles per year.
Accepted papers will appear on-line shortly after acceptance and
will be available for citation at that time. As of now we are still
calling ICML a conference rather than a journal. A good
discussion of the issues of merging conference and journal
formats can be found in
http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/papers/p40-jagadish.pdf
by H. V. Jagadish.


Main Conference Paper Dates:

� Cycle I paper submissions due October 1, 2012
� Cycle I author response period November 1 � 7, 2012
� Cycle I author notification November 30, 2012
� Cycle I final version submission due January 7, 2013

� Cycle II paper submissions due December 15, 2012
� Cycle II author response period January 21 � 25, 2013
� Cycle II author notification Feb 15, 2013
� Cycle II final version submission due March 15, 2013

� Cycle III paper submissions due February 15, 2013
� Cycle III author response period March 15-22, 2013
� Cycle III author notification April 15, 2013
� Cycle III final version submission due May 8, 2013

Some fraction of papers declined in cycle I will be invited to
resubmit with modifications in cycle III. Papers declined in
cycle II will not be eligible for resubmission to ICML 2013.


Workshops and Tutorial Dates:

� Workshop and tutorial proposals due January 14, 2012
� Workshop and tutorial selection notification February 1, 2013
� Workshop paper submissions due March 1, 2013
� Workshop author notification March 31, 2013


Orals, Spotlights, Invited Speakers and a Banquet

Accepted papers will each have either a full oral presentation or
a shorter "spotlight" presentation as well as a poster in an
evening poster session. There will also be talks by invited
speakers, an opening reception, and a banquet.


Paper Format and Electronic Submission

The submission of papers and the management of the paper
reviewing process for the main conference will be entirely
electronic. Submissions for a given reviewing cycle will be
accepted until 23:59 Universal Time (3:59pm Pacific Daylight
Time) on the date of the deadline. Detailed formatting and
submission instructions for authors will be available on the
conference web site.


Dual Submission Policy

Submitted papers must not be substantially similar to (50% or
more overlap) another paper currently under review, or
accepted for publication, in a journal, conference or workshop
with archival proceedings (where proceedings are assigned an
ISBN number). Similarly, authors must withdraw their papers if
they submit an overlapping paper to a different archival venue
during the ICML review period. If a paper submitted to ICML
2013 is found to significantly overlap another published or
submitted paper at another archival venue then the ICML
submission may be rejected on the grounds of being a dual
submission.

To keep things simple in this experimental year, the "not for
proceedings" option of ICML 2012 will not be available in 2013.


Reviewing Criteria

Accepted papers must contain significant novel results. Results
can be either theoretical or empirical. Results will be judged on
the degree to which they have been objectively established
and/or their potential for scientific and technological impact.

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this group.
I'm a final year student of computer science and engineering. I need
your help in my major project Frequent itemset mining in network traffic
data.
If you can help me then please mail me at rai18ankit@...
I will be very thankful to you.

Hello everybody,�

I have set of different material histories which are collected as they had
happened in a vector. �So the length of the vectors are different. I have wanted
to do a clustering on them, but since all the clustering methods I worked are
using the same number of attributes, I am a bit confused to do the clustering on
them. There are also other characteristics that should be used for clustering.�

Thanks,�
Ivan���
