The Third International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence
The Third International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-96) was held August 14–17, 1997, Newport Beach, California
The rapid growth of data and information has created a need and an
opportunity for extracting knowledge from databases, and both
researchers and application developers have been responding to that
need. Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), also referred to as data
mining, is an area of common interest to researchers in machine
discovery, statistics, databases, knowledge acquisition, machine
learning, data visualization, high performance computing, and
knowledge-based systems. KDD applications have been developed for
astronomy, biology, finance, insurance, marketing, medicine, and many
other fields. The third international conference on knowledge discovery
and data mining (KDD-97) will follow up the success of KDD-95 and KDD-96
by bringing together researchers and application developers from
different areas focusing on unifying themes.
