QIMIE'11: Blog to discuss about quality issues and evaluation of data
mining models:
mining-models.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://quality-evaluation-data-mining-models.blogs...

QIMIE'11 is organized in association with the next PAKDD'11 conference
(15th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
<http://pakdd2011.pakdd.org/>, Shenzhen, China, May 24-27, 2011), a
major international conference in the areas of data mining and knowledge
discovery.

Call for papers
The Quality issues, measures of interestingness and evaluation of data
mining models Workshop (QIMIE'11) will focus on the theory, the
techniques and the practices that can ensure the discovered knowledge is
of quality.

We invite submissions on all aspects of quality and evaluation of data
mining models.

The submitted papers must not be published or under consideration to be
published elsewhere. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two members
of the Program Committee. Each paper should consist of a cover page with
title, authors' names, postal and email address, an up to 200-words
abstract, up to 5 keywords and a body not longer than 12 single-spaced
pages with font size at
least 11 pts. Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer's
manuscript submission guidelines
<https://conferences.telecom-bretagne.eu/qimie2011/...>.

Outstanding papers presented at QMIE'11 could be considered for
publication in a LNCS/LNAI Post Proceedings of PAKDD Workshops published
by Springer (see for example PAKDD 2009 Revised Selected Papers
<http://www.springer.com/computer/ai/book/978-3-642...>) or in a
post-workshop journal special issues. Information about these
possibilities will be provided as soon as possible.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

objective measures of interest
subjective measures of interest and quality based on human knowledge, quality of ontologies, actionable rules
algorithmic properties of measures of interest
comparison of algorithm: issues with benchmarks, experiments and parameters tuning questioning also reproducibility of data mining results, the need of new data sets which match new problems, methodologies, statistical tests, etc.
robustness evaluation and statistical evaluation
graphical tools like ROC, cost curves
special issues: imbalanced data, very large data set, very high dimensional data, changing environments, lack of training data, sample selection bias, graph data, etc.
special issues in specialized domains: bio-informatics, security, information retrieval, sequential and time series data, social networks, etc.
As a whole, QIMIE'11 intend to be a forum for a community-wide
discussion of these issues and to contribute to a deep
cross-fertilization within a large panel of researchers/practitioners
attending PAKDD'11. *Thus we strongly encourage interested peoples to
propose topics and main themes that should be discussed within QIMIE'11*.

For that purpose a blog to discuss about quality issues, measures of
interestingness and evaluation of data mining models has been launched.
