Special Session on Computational Intelligence for Dynamic Data Mining

World Congress on Computational Intelligence WCCI 2006 (www.wcci2006.org) Vancouver, BC, Canada July 16-21, 2006

During the last two decades, we have witnessed the rapid development of the technology of data mining along with a plethora of advanced architectures and techniques. There are numerous successful applications that have spurred more interest in the area and fostered the need for further research on methodological issues, algorithms and specialized development platforms. What still remains an open issue, however, is the question how to update the respective systems when new data becomes available. Here, dynamic data mining comes into play by offering a coherent suite of technologies for ?updating? and enhancing functionality of the existing data mining systems.

Such dynamic aspects of systems become highly relevant to all categories of applications of data mining such as e.g. clustering, classification, association and deviation detection, visualization, to name the most representative examples.

Computational Intelligence (CI), in particular neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary computing forming a coherent conceptual and algorithmic platform, offers evident advantages by supporting understanding, modeling, and experimenting in presence of dynamic aspects of data mining. For instance, neural networks offer superb learning abilities and in this sense become of evident interest when dealing with various facets of pattern updating. Some other aspects of dynamic data mining are related to concept drift and in this case fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets offer an interesting insight into the vagueness of the underlying phenomenon. Genetic optimization helps address various aspects of structural optimization. Evolutionary computing with its inherent adaptation capabilities provides powerful mechanisms for dynamic data mining.

The intent of the special session is to help address the needs for a well balanced methodological development and foster more interaction between different sectors of the research community and share experience on advanced case studies and successful real-world applications.

Topics of interest (not limited to) - The development of specialized computational Intelligence methods for dynamic data mining, considering various categories of applications, e.g. clustering, classification, association and deviation detection, visualization. - The use of well established technology of Computational Intelligence to dynamic data mining - Reports on successful applications and case studies of dynamic data mining to real world problems. In this class of submission we anticipate a comprehensive report on the development, design cycle, comparative analysis and evaluation of the resulting system.
