*** Call for Papers due to August 8, 2011 ***
 
Workshop Human-Computer Interaction &
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (HCI-KDD)

Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
 
Motto: “Human intelligence harnesses machine power”
(Ben Shneiderman (2011))
 
In Biomedicine, Health Care, Clinical Medicine and the Life Sciences
professional end users are confronted with increased masses of data.
Research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Information Retrieval
(IR) or Knowledge Discovery in Databases and Data Mining (KDD)
respectively, has long been working to develop methods that help end
users to identify, extract, visualize and understand useful
information
from these masses of high dimensional and mostly weakly structured
data.
HCI and IR/KDD, however, take very different perspectives in tackling
this challenge; and historically, they have had little collaboration.
Our goal is to support professional end users to interactively analyse
information properties and to visualize the most relevant parts
without
getting overwhelmed. The challenge is to bring HCI & IR/KDD to work
together and hence reap the benefits, so that Computer
Science/Informatics can benefit the areas of Medicine, Health Care and
the Life Sciences even more.
 
This special expert workshop is intended to establish a joint
cooperation platform for interested experts who regard the extremely
important application area of Biomedicine, Health and Life Sciences as
important for their future research. The workshop is planned on
Thursday, November, 24, 2011 within the context of USAB 2011 –
Information Quality in e-Health, see main conference page:
http://www.meduni-graz.at/imi/usab2011 
 
Paper submission is due to August, 8, 2011 – please follow the general
submission process of USAB 2011:
All workshop papers will be reviewed by at least three international
experts. Accepted papers will be included in the main proceedings,
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
Workshop Papers are in the format of short papers. Submit via the
ConfTool: https://www.conftool.net/usab2011 
The absolute deadline for the camera ready version in the Springer
LNCS
Style is September, 18, 2011.
 
Maimon & Rokach (2010) state in their book “Data Mining and Knowledge
Discovery” : “Knowledge Discovery demonstrates intelligent computing
at
its best, and is the most desirable and interesting end-product of
Information Technology”. The real challenge is to enable effective
human
control over powerful machine services and to integrate statistical
methods and information visualization, so as to support human insight,
breakthrough discoveries, and bold decisions – primary research
objectives in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. Consequently,
the
aim of this workshop is to bring together experts of both areas:
Knowledge Discovery/Information Retrieval with Human-Computer
Interaction/Usability Engineers.
Some hot topics of future research inlcude – but are not limited to:
Human-Computer Interaction and …
 
* … Multimedia Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (e.g. in high
dimensional and weakly structured data)
* … Swarm Intelligence (collective intelligence) and Collaborative
Data
Mining
* … Intelligent, interactive multivariate Information Visualization
and
Visual Analytics
* … Multimedia Data Exploration and Visualization
* … Time-Oriented Data and Information (e.g. longitudinal data and
time
series data)
* … Novel Search User Interaction Techniques
* … Future Interaction Techniques (science fiction today is science
fact
of tomorrow)
* … Modelling of Human Search Behavior and Understanding Human
Information Needs
* … Methods and Methodologies (e.g. Support Vector Machines, Maximum
Entropy Modeling, …)
* … Text Mining and Information Extraction
