Session Theme Submission Information DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 14th
Special Session Theme
Classifier ensemble methods , also called multiple classifier systems, is one of the current hot topics in data mining and pattern recognition.
There is an increasing awareness that many of the most important application areas for this technology involve “extreme” environments. An application might be extreme because of the
- large number of elements in the data set,
- high dimensionality of the data,
- attribute or label error in the training data,
- extreme skew in class distribution of the data,
- time-varying nature of the class distributions, or
- some combination of these factors.
The purpose of the special session is to bring together researchers who are focused on developing ensemble methods that work well in extreme application environments. It is expected that researchers will present results on experimental datasets that exhibit one or more of the properties of an extreme environment.
Conference Location
The 2005 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics will take place on October 10-12. The conference location is on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii at the Waikoloa Hilton Village. See the conference web site for additional information.
