The 2001 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM '01)
provides a forum for the sharing of original research results and
practical development experiences among researchers and application
developers from different data mining related areas such as machine
learning, automated scientific discovery, statistics, pattern
recognition, knowledge acquisition, soft computing, databases and data
warehousing, data visualization, and knowledge-based systems. The
conference seeks solutions to challenging problems facing the
development of data mining systems, and shapes future directions of
research by promoting high quality, novel and daring research
findings. As an important part of the conference, the workshops
program will focus on new research challenges and initiatives.

With the support of both world-renowned experts and new researchers
from the international data mining community, ICDM '01 has received an
overwhelming response compared to any other data mining related
conference this year: 365 paper submissions, 8 workshop proposals, and
29 tutorial proposals.
