[Asis-l] Classification, Data Mining, Machine Learning

[Dave Dubin]

There's still time to propose a reearch presentation for this year's
Classification Society meeting. The conference will take place June
7-10 in Urbana, Illinois. Abstracts are due March 19.

For the past thirty years, CSNA has been one of the most
interdisciplinary information science meetings. Our members contribute
a wide range of backgrounds in mathematics, statistics, computing,
information and decision sciences, in addition to expertise in
business, the physical, social, life, and earth sciences. We are
brought together by a common interest in the shape of data analysis,
extraction and summarization problems, and with the goal of making
sense of those commonalities despite differences in terminology,
notation, and the disparate professional literatures in which we read
and publish. Our meetings offer the participant a kind of productivity
that can't be matched at the discipline-specific, tool-specific, and
problem-specific meetings that we attend at other times of the year.

I encourage those of you working in research areas such as data
mining, machine learning, social networks, and document clustering to
propose a talk this year. Our meeting will follow directly on the
Digital Humanities meeting, with some joint sessions planned. So
clustering and data analysis applications in humanities scholarship
are especially welcome.

I hope to see you in June.
