Welcome to DMSS2006

Recently, thanks to advances of information technology, we can get any kind of large data through computer networks. On the other hand, because of such facilitation of getting large data, we suffer from difficulty of analysing, summarising and utilising these data. One of solutions of the above problem has been attracted by many researchers, that is, "data mining" to discover useful information from large amount of data.
In Japanese Society of Artificial Intelligence (JSAI), we have been discussing various techniques of data mining through special interest groups such as SIG on knowledge-based systems and SIG on fundamental problem of AI. Followed by these activities, we have just established a new SIG called "data mining and statistical science" aiming at new technology on data mining by combining machine learning techniques in AI and traditional statistical science. In this special issue and workshop, we solicit papers on various aspects of data mining from various fields such as AI, statistical science and application domains in order to stimulate discussion among researchers in these fields.

Topics of interest

include, but not limited to, the following areas:
Machine Learning, Probablistic Reasoning, Statistical Reasoning, Data Mining, Semi-structured Data Mining, Text Mining, Data Visualization, Data Mining Algorithms, Scalability and Efficiency in Data Mining, Applications of Data Mining and Statistical Sciences to real world tasks, e.g., Bioinformatics and Network Data Analysis. Any researches on Data Mining and Statistical Sciences.

Paper Submission (Closed)

Read Paper Submission page (See Japanese Page, too) for more information on the workshop as well as the JSAI Special Issue. (Submission is already closed)

Preparing the camera-ready for the WS

The contact author of an accepted paper is requested to see the following instructions. As default, a submitted draft will be used as the camera-ready copy for the workshop proceedings without changing unless it is requested to revise or the authors want to revise it.

Location for DMSS2006

Sapporo is located in Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido, and is one of the most modern and beautiful cities in Japan having the population of 1.8 million. The city is also famous in its food as "Gastronomes' Paradise" (by its crab, salmon, and other seafoods, beer, Sapporo "ramen" noodle, lamb BBQ, etc.) as well as known as a mecca of winter sports and outdoor life in its wilderness, moutains/volcanoes, and hotsprings...

Hokkaido University (Please visit us! It's 10 minutes walk from the site)

Workshop Site

Century Royal Hotel, N5W5, Chuo-ku, Sapporo 060-0005, which directly connects to JR Sapporo station and the subway station "Sapporo" by three-minutes walk along the underground passage. The workshop sessions (9/25-26) and the banquet (9/25, evening) will take place at the main hall at 20th floor and at 3rd floor of the hotel.

Registration

General participants to DMSS2006 workshop are welcome. The registration desk will open from 8:30 (maybe earlier) on Monday and Tuesday at 20th floor (in front of the main room) of the workshop site. Online registration is available for general participants and the authors at the registration desk. The registration fee is free and a copy of the proceedings is given to a participant.

Banquet ticket is available in 3,000yen for students and 6,000yen for others at the registration desk. We hope many participants (particularly, young scientists) from several desciplines to attend the Banquet to communicates each other.

To attend DMSS2006,
