Workshop Description |
Motivation All the different stages of the data mining process impact the ultimate utility of the knowledge derived from data mining. The utility of acquiring data, extracting a model, and applying the acquired knowledge must be considered. For example, in the data acquisition phase the costs of obtaining informative and accurate data may be considered to help identify the most cost-effective information. Similarly, utility considerations also impact the assessment of the decisions made based on the learned knowledge. Simple assessment measures like predictive accuracy have given way to economic utility measures, such as profitability and return on investment.
Goals This workshop will focus on real world experiences as well as existing and new research methods and results. Attendance is not limited to the paper authors and we strongly encourage interested researchers from related areas to attend the workshop. This will be a full-day workshop and will include invited talks, paper presentations, short position statements and two panel discussions. |
