New Frontiers in Applied Data Mining Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence : Springer : 9783642003981 : 3642003982 : 16 Feb 2009 : This book constitutes the proceedings of the PAKDD Workshops 2008, namely ALSIP 2008, DMDRM 2008, and IDM 2008. The workshops were held in conjunction with the PAKDD conference in Osaka, Japan, during May 20-23, 2008. The 17 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The International Workshop on Algorithms for Large-Sale Information Processing in Knowledge Discovery (ALSIP) focused on exchanging fresh ideas on large-scale data processing in the problems of data mining, clustering, machine learning, statistical analysis, and other computational aspects of knowledge discovery problems. The Workshop on Data Mining for Decision Making and Risk Management (DMDRM) covered data mining and machine learning approaches, statistical approaches, chance discovery, active mining and application of these techniques to medicine, marketin
