CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS
I International Conference on INDUCTIVE MODELLING
ICIM'2002
May 20-25, 2002
Lviv, Ukraine
http://www.niss.gov.ua/Center/ICIM/
Submission deadline: February 20, 2002
****************************************************
The I International Conference on Inductive Modelling (ICIM-2002)
will present the latest high-quality results in the growing field of
inductive methods in data mining and forecasting, pattern recognition
and parallel computing. Inductive modelling is an important area,
based on sorting methods of artificial intelligence problems solution.
The aim of the Conference is to bring together leading scientists,
researchers and experts from different areas, who can make significant
contribution to development and better understanding of inductive
modelling methods.
Conference topics include, but are not limited to:
- Principles and theoretical foundations of inductive modelling.
- Data mining, laws extracting and knowledge discovery.
- Parallel computing
- Time series analysis and forecasting.
- Information and hybrid systems.
- Neural networks and genetic algorithms.
- Pattern recognition and clustering.
- Parametric methods of modelling, machine learning, and
evolutionary computation.
- Non-parametric methods: search of analogues, fuzzy logic and
probabilistic modelling
- Selection and construction of criteria for model structure
optimization.
- Comparison of different approaches for artificial intelligence
problems solution.
- Estimation of inductive methods efficiency in modelling and
prediction.
- Application of inductive approach to solution of AI problems.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of Conference is to analyse the current progress in
development of inductive approach to artificial intelligence
problems solution.
Methods of inductive modelling allow to find automatically models of
optimal complexity for real data and therefore can improve the
accuracy of AI problems solution. Inductive modelling has objective
character and therefore can help to avoid invalid decisions of
experts. Inductive approach also considerably enriches existing
methods of data mining and knowledge discovery by new possibilities
to increase accuracy and lead-time of predictions. Methods of parallel
computing are adequate for self-organizing algorithms, allowing to
increase considerably the dimensionality of processed data.
Among the highlights of the Conference there will be issues of theory
development, algorithms and applications of the Group Method of Data
Handling (GMDH) as first realization of inductive idea in modelling.
Conference participants will have the opportunity to discuss
fundamentals and state of art in inductive modelling, plans for
software and hardware development, organization of cooperation, and
discuss ways for enhancing of effectiveness of complex systems
modelling.
