ASC One Day Conference in association with the Statistical Computing Section of the Royal Statistical Society Tuesday 21st April 2009, Imperial College, London, UK The conference will explore the topic from three perspectives: what the DM community thinks it has to offer (the computer science view), what statisticians think of DM methods and can offer as complement or alternative, and what applications (current or potential) are around for surveys and market research. Our speakers will be looking at the uses of Data Mining in Market Research and the Statistical approach by examining topics such as: * Identifying Fraudulent Panel Members - and how their behaviour is evolving. * Combining legacy data from multiple surveys * Delivering Data Mining techniques throughout an enterprise * Merging data from multiple, discrete surveys. * On-line analysis of massive data sets - large, complex and dynamic * Image Mining * Multi-Agent Data Mining * Web-Site Mining * Spatial Temporal Mining * Data Mining support for Argumentation * Graph Mining * Issues with Automation Rule Mining * Social Network Analysis * Exploratory Data Analysis techniques * Forward Search Clustering and estimating the number of clusters * Classification, Clustering and Change Detection Conference rates are: * ASC/RSS member @ £160 * Non-member @ £210 (includes ASC Membership to 31.12.09) * ASC/RSS member academic @ £85 * Non-member academic @ £125 (includes ASC Membership to 31.12.09) * ASC/RSS full-time student member @ £20 * Non-member full-time student @ £40 (includes ASC Membership to 31.12.09) Further details of the conference including the full programme and booking instructions are at http://www.asc.org.uk/conference -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please reply to: Christine Jenkins, Administrator ([log in to unmask]) ASC, PO Box 76, Berkeley, GL13 9WU, UK http://www.asc.org.uk This message has been sent on behalf the ASC by: Randy Banks ([log in to unmask]) Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) University of Essex, Colchester, UK CO4 3SQ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
