INTELLIGENT DATA ANALYSIS IN MEDICINE AND PHARMACOLOGY

Organized in collaboration with Intelligent Data Analysis and Data Mining Workgroup of International Medical Informatics Association, and Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining SIG of American Medical Informatics Association

IDAMAP-2005, a one day Workshop on intelligent data analysis in medicine and pharmacology, will be held in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK, as part of the 10th Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. This is also the 10th IDAMAP Workshop: the former ones were held in Budapest in 1996, Nagoya in 1997, Brighton in 1998, Washington DC in 1999, Berlin in 2000, London in 2001, Lyon in 2002, Cyprus in 2003, and Stanford in 2004.

The IDAMAP workshop series is devoted to computational methods for data analysis in medicine, biology and pharmacology that present results of analysis in the form communicable to domain experts and that somehow exploit expert knowledge of the problem domain. Such knowledge may be available at different stages of the data-analysis and model-building process. Typical methods include data mining, temporal abstraction, machine learning, and data visualization.

Gathering in an informal setting, workshop participants will have the opportunity to meet and discuss selected technical topics in an atmosphere which fosters the active exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners. The workshop is intended to be a genuinely interactive event and not a mini-conference, thus ample time will be allotted for general discussion.
