PTDM 2012 - International Workshop on Practical Theories for exploratory Data Mining

The goal of PTDM is to help closing the gap between data mining practice and theory. To this end, we intend to explore what is the essence of exploratory data mining and how to formalize it in a useful but theoretically well-founded way. Specific topics of interest include: Data mining foundations; Unified frameworks for data mining; Iterative/interactive data mining; Relational data mining; Statistical and information theoretic assessment and comparison of data mining patterns/results; Visual representation of data mining patterns/results; Lessons learned from real-life applications.
