*KDD 2008 Workshop on **Data Mining using Matrices and Tensors
*Workshop website: KDD 2008 Workshop on Data Mining Using Matrices and Tensors (DMMT08) http://www.cs.fiu.edu/%7Etaoli/kdd08-workshop/workshop.htm
Held in conjunction with The 14th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining http://www.sigkdd.org/kdd2008/ (KDD 2008) http://www.sigkdd.org/kdd2008/

The field of pattern recognition, data mining and machine learning increasingly adapt methods and algorithms from advanced matrix computations, graph theory and optimization. Prominent examples are spectral clustering, non-negative matrix factorization, Principal component analysis (PCA) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) related clustering and dimension reduction, tensor analysis, L-1 regularization, etc. Compared to probabilistic and information theoretic approaches, matrix-based methods are fast, easy to understand and implement; they are especially suitable for parallel and distributed-memory computers to solve large scale challenging problems such as searching and extracting patterns from the entire Web. Hence the area of data mining using matrices and tensors is a popular and growing are of research activities.
This workshop will present recent advances in algorithms and methods using matrix and scientific computing/applied mathematics for modeling and analyzing massive, high-dimensional, and nonlinear-structured data. One main goal of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers on many topic areas (e.g., computer scientists, computational and applied mathematicians) to assess the state-of-the-art, share ideas, and form collaborations. We also wish to attract practitioners who seek novel ideas for applications. In summary, this workshop will strive to emphasize the following aspects:
* Presenting recent advances in algorithms and methods using matrix and scientific computing/applied mathematics * Addressing the fundamental challenges in data mining using matrices and tensors * Identifying killer applications and key industry drivers (where theories and applications meet) * Fostering interactions among researchers (from different backgrounds) sharing the same interest to promote cross-fertilization of ideas. * Exploring benchmark data for better evaluation of the techniques
Topic areas for the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following:
*
Methods and algorithms:
*
* Principal Component Analysis and Singular value decomposition for clustering and dimension reduction * Nonnegative matrix factorization for unsupervised and semi-supervised learning * Spectral graph clustering * L-1 Regularization and Sparsification * Sparse PCA and SVD * Randomized algorithms for matrix computation * Web search and ranking algorithms * Canonical Decompositions (CANDECOMP/PARAFAC) * Tensor analysis: Rank-1 Decomposition, PARAFAC/CANDECOMP, GLRAM/2DSVD, Tucker decompositions (e.g., the Higher-Order SVD) * GSVD for classification * Latent Semantic Indexing and other developments for Information Retrieval * Linear, quadratic and semi-definite Programming * Non-linear manifold learning and dimension reduction * Computational statistics involving matrix computations * Feature selection and extraction * Graph-based learning (classification, semi-supervised learning and unsupervised learning)
* *
*Application areas*
* *
* Information search and extraction from Web * Text processing and information retrieval * Image processing and analysis * Genomics and Bioinformatics * Scientific computing and computational sciences * Social Networks
