DMCCI 2011

ICDM 2011 Workshop on Data Mining Technologies for Computational Collective Intelligence

1. Overview

Computational collective intelligence aims to explore the group intelligence using computational methods. Over the recent years, the ubiquitous use of world wide web and rapid development of internet technology have provided an unprecedented environment of various group activities. Numerous interdisciplinary and interdependent systems are created and used to represent the various biological, social, physical and ecological systems for investigating the interactions between individuals, groups, communities. This requires joint efforts to take advantage of the state-of-the-art research from multiple disciplines develop novel theories, experiments, and methodologies to study these rich interactions as well as make better group decisions.

This workshop will bring together the interdisciplinary researchers from sociology, behavioral science, computer science, psychology, bioinformatics, ecology, cultural study, information systems, operations research to share, exchange, learn, and develop preliminary results, new concepts, ideas, principles, and methodologies on applying data mining technologies for computational collective intelligence, aiming to merge the gap between the two areas, encourage collaborations, advance and deepen our understanding of interactions as well as collective intelligence, and devise more effective and efficient computational algorithms to make wiser decisions.
