Title: Department of Computer Science Seminar
Date: Tuesday, July 18, 2000
Time: 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Venue: Room N101, CSIT Building [108]
Speaker: Dr Peter Christen (CS Lab at ANU)
Description: "Parallel Algorithms in Data Mining - The ANU CSL Data Mining Approach"


                        Abstract


Data mining deals with the analysis of large data sets to find patterns
and relationships hidden in the data. This seminar talk starts with a
brief introduction to data mining, followed by a presentation of the
algorithms and techniques that are currently developed in the CSL data
mining group. Our parallel predictive modelling techniques are discussed
and an overview of our project experiences is given.
