1st International Workshop

Analysis of high-dimensional discrete data (AH3D)
Workshop in Conjunction with DASFAA 2008 
13th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications 
19-22nd March, 2008, New Delhi, India

High-dimensional data typically takes the form of extracting correlations
between data items, 
discovering meaningful information in data, clustering data items, and finding
efficient 
representations for clustered data, classification, formal concept analysis,
and event association. 
A common problem encountered in disciplines such as statistical data analysis,
data analysis, 
signal processing, textual data representation, and neural network research,
is finding a suitable 
representation of the data in the lower dimension space. Since the volume (and
dimensionality) 
of data is typically large, the emphasis of new algorithms must be efficient
and scalable to large 
data sets. Analysis of continuous attribute data generally takes the form of
eigenvalue/singular 
value problems (PCA/rank reduction), clustering, least squares problems, etc. 
Analysis of 
discrete data sets, however, generally leads to hard problems, especially when
physically 
interpretable results in discrete spaces are desired.

We therefore invite submission from research communities working on different
theoretical and 
applicative aspects of data mining, especially those that are active in
cutting-edge frontier topics. These include, but are not limited to:

* binary factor analysis
* market basked analysis
* analysis of voting
* analysis of capital market
* economic analysis
* clustering of semantic features
* discovering pattern in the data
* feature selection for high-dimensional data
* formal concept analysis (FCA).


Important dates:
October 15, 2007 Submission of Full Papers 
November 12, 2007 Notification of Papers Acceptance 
December 10, 2007 All Camera-Ready Copies Due
March 19, 2008 Workshop

Workshop Format:

The full day workshop will consist of oral presentations, discussions, and
invited talks. The 
workshop will also provide opportunity for demo sessions, where presenters can
showcase 
advanced prototypes based on their research where applicable. 

Submission of Papers:

The full paper submission is limited to fifteen (15) pages in length LNCS
format. 
Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Simultaneous submission to another
conference/workshop/journal is not allowed. Papers must be original and have
not been published or under consideration for publications elsewhere. Papers
will be reviewed by at least 3 program committee members for their technical
merit, originality, significance, and relevance to the workshop. For paper
registration and electronic submission please see

Workshop Proceedings:

The workshop proceedings are to be published as part of Springer Verlag's
Lecture Notes in 
Computer Science series. After the workshop, selected papers may have an
opportunity to be 
invited to submit an extended version of the paper to an International
Journal.
