Please join us for the First International Conference on Knowledge Discovery
and Data Mining (KDD-95).  With the advances in data acquisition and storage
technologies, the problem of how to turn raw data into useful information
becomes a significant one. Having reached sizes that defy even partial
examination by humans, modern databases and collections of data sets are
literally swamping users. This data firehose phenomenon appears in many
fields including science data analysis, medical and healthcare, corporate
and marketing, and financial markets. Knowledge Discovery in Databases
(KDD) and Data Mining are areas of common interest to researchers in
machine learning, machine discovery, statistics, intelligent databases,
knowledge acquisition, data visualization, high performance computing,
and expert systems.  Due to strong demand for participation and the growing
demand for formal proceedings, it has become necessary to change the format of
the previous KDD workshops to a conference with open attendance.  This
conference will continue in the tradition of the 1989, 1991, 1993, and
1994 KDD workshops by bringing together researchers and application
developers from different areas, and focusing on unifying themes such
as the use of domain knowledge, managing uncertainty, interactive
(human-oriented) presentation, and applications.  The KDD conference
also includes invited talks, demo and poster sessions, and panel discussions.
 
We look forward to seeing you in Montreal!
