The 3rd University of Michigan
Workshop on Data Mining
Wednesday, April 18, 2012 (8:30 AM - 5 PM)
Stamps Auditorium, North Campus
Sponsored by CSE, Yahoo!, and Office of Research Cyberinfrastructure (ORCI)
Introduction
For the last 2 years we have had a big success with the University of
Michigan Workshop on Data, Text, Web, and Social Network Mining. We
uncovered lots of people at Michigan doing interesting and unexpected
things with data. Indeed, we found so many different projects that
this year we have shortened the name to reflect the great diversity of
work at Michigan.
Who is invited?
All UM faculty, staff, and graduate students working in the fields of
data mining, broadly construed to include models and technologies for
statistical data analysis, Web search technology, analysis of user
behavior, data visualization, etc. as well as related areas. External
visitors from the State of Michigan and beyond are also welcome to
attend.
Workshop Program
The workshop consists of faculty presentations, tutorials,
discussions, and a keynote lecture.
