Report on DIMACS Working Group Meeting: Data Mining and Epidemiology, March 18-19, 2004
Author: James Abello and Graham Cormode
ABSTRACT
Epidemiology is an observational science that concerns itself with finding
and explaining patterns of health and disease in populations, usually of
humans, but also populations of animals, insects and plants. Data mining
is an active area of research interested in finding algorithms for
describing latent patterns in often very large data sets. This Working
Group had the objective of fostering collaboration between these two
disciplines. In March of 2004 it organized a two-day meeting at DIMACS to
bring these two groups together in a format designed to initiate such
collaborations.
