DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKSHOP
The Web is now an integral part of numerous applications in which a
user interacts with a company, government, employer, or an information
provider. However, the potential of the Web is hampered by the
enormity of the content available and the diverse expectations of its
user base. Hence, Web applications need to combine all available
knowledge in order to form personalized, user-friendly, and
business-optimal services.
Over the years, personalized Web applications and services have been
developed that use Web Mining and similar technologies to harvest
shallow patterns hidden within masses of transactional, navigational,
and content-structural data that are useful for presenting product
recommendations and the likes. Without the benefit of deeper semantic
or ontological knowledge about the underlying domain, personalization
systems cannot handle heterogeneous and complex objects based on their
properties and relationships. Nor can these systems possess the
ability to automatically explain or reason about the user models or
user recommendations. This realization points to an important research
focus that combines the strengths of Web mining with semantic or
ontological knowledge. The prospect of having deeper knowledge, gained
from a combination of relevant but highly heterogeneous sources, about
the information available and/or the resources accessed by users,
means that personalization approaches can be developed that can
present the most contextually relevant content to the user of the Web.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
from the two rapidly developing research areas: Semantic Web and Web
Intelligence. The aim is to improve the results of Web Personalization
by exploiting the new semantic structures in the Web, and also by
incorporating AI techniques that take advantage of existing, learned,
or extracted ontological knowledge.

CALL FOR PAPERS
MRDM 2004 - Third Workshop on Multi-Relational Data Mining
organised at the
10th ACM SIGKDD International Conference
on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining
August 22 - 25, 2004, Seattle, WA, USA
Paper submissions due: June 1, 2004
Workshop Website: http://www-ai.ijs.si/SasoDzeroski/MRDM2004/

Multi-Relational Data Mining (MRDM) is the multi-disciplinary field
dealing with knowledge discovery from relational databases consisting
of multiple tables. Mining data which consists of complex/structured
objects also falls within the scope of this field, since the
normalized representation of such objects in a relational database
requires multiple tables. The field aims at integrating results from
existing fields such as inductive logic programming, KDD, machine
learning and relational databases; producing new techniques for mining
multi-relational data; and practical applications of such tecniques.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners of data mining interested in methods for finding
patterns in expressive languages from complex/multi-relational/
structured data and their applications.
We also encourage submissions which present early stages
of research work, software, and applications.

BIOKDD04: Fourth ACM SIGKDD Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics
22nd August 2004, Seattle, WA, USA
in conjunction with ACM SIGKDD Conference, 2004
http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~zaki/BIOKDD04
WORKSHOP SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Bioinformatics is the science of managing, mining, and interpreting
information from biological sequences and structures. Genome
sequencing projects have contributed to an exponential growth in
complete and partial sequence databases. The structural genomics
initiative aims to catalog the structure-function information for
proteins. Advances in technology such as microarrays have launched
the subfield of genomics and proteomics to study the genes, proteins,
and the regulatory gene expression circuitry inside the cell. What
characterizes the state of the field is the flood of data that exists
today or that is anticipated in the future; data that needs to be
mined to help unlock the secrets of the cell.
While tremendous progress has been made over the years, many of the
fundamental problems in bioinformatics, such as protein structure
prediction or gene finding, are still open. Data mining will play a
fundamental role in understanding gene expression, drug design and
other emerging problems in genomics and proteomics. Furthermore, text
mining will be fundamental in extracting knowledge from the growing
literature in bioinformatics.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submitted papers should not exceed 10 pages, single-spaced, single
column, 10 point font, including all figures, tables, and references.

CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Workshop on Knowledge Discovery in Data Streams
24 September 2004, Pisa, Italy
http://www.lsi.us.es/~aguilar/ecml2004/
in conjunction with ECML/PKDD 2004: The 15th European Conference
on Machine Learning and the 8th European Conference on Principles
and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases
http://ecmlpkdd.isti.cnr.it/
MOTIVATION
Databases are growing incessantly and many sources produce data
continuously. In many cases, we need to extract some sort of
knowledge from this continuous stream of data. Examples include
customer click streams, telephone records, large sets of web pages,
multimedia data, scientific data, and sets of retail chain
transactions. These sources are called data streams. The goal of
this workshop is to convene researchers who deal with decision
rules, decision trees, association rules, clustering, filtering,
preprocessing, post processing, feature selection, visualization
techniques, etc. from data streams and related themes. We are looking
for all possible contributions related to inductive learning from data
streams.
The rapid growth in information science and technology in general
and the complexity and volume of data in particular have introduced
new challenges for the research community. Databases are growing
incessantly and many sources produce data continuously. In most of
real world applications, the process generating the data is not
strictly stationary. In many cases, we need to extract some sort of
knowledge from this continuous stream of data. Examples include
customer click streams, telephone records, large sets of web
pages, multimedia data, scientific data, and sets of retail chain
transactions. These sources are called data streams. Learning
from data streams are incremental tasks that requires incremental
algorithms that take drift into account.
The goal of this workshop is to convene researchers who deal with
decision rules, decision trees, association rules, clustering,
filtering, preprocessing, post processing, feature selection,
visualization techniques, etc. from data streams and related themes.
