Room: Ballroom A
The current decade has seen an explosive growth in database technology and the amount of data collected. This has created an unprecedented opportunity for "data mining", which is a process of efficient supervised or unsupervised discovery of interesting information hidden in the data. Due to the huge size of data sets and the amount of computation involved in data mining algorithms, parallel processing is often considered an essential component for a successful data mining solution. The speakers in this minisymposium will discuss the state-of-the-art in high performance parallel formulations of computationally intensive kernels of commonly used data mining algorithms.
