Data Mining Practice Prize 2013Call For PapersFifth Workshop on Data Mining Case Studies and Success Stories and Fifth Data Mining Practice Prizean ICDM 2013 workshopSponsored bySubmit Your Case Study!Please use the following email address to submit your data mining case study (note that the email address which follows has been encoded as a bitmap). Details on how to submit are provided below. MotivationFrom its inception the field of data mining has been guided by the need to solve practical problems. Yet a cursory examination of the publications shows that few papers describe a completed implementation or what we will term a “case study”. The small number of case studies is counter-balanced by their prominence. Anecdotally case studies are one of the most discussed topics at data mining conferences. Some of the benefits of good case studies include1. Inspiration: Case studies provide examples that can inspire data mining researchers to pursue important new technical directions.2. Innovation: Data mining case studies demonstrate how whole problems were solved - not just part of the problem. Often building the prediction algorithm is only 10% of the problem - the other aspects that comprise a successful deployment are valuable for practitioners to understand.3. Education: People are more likely to remember stories than facts.4. Media Coverage: The media is more likely to report on completed data mining applications, than they are on isolated algorithms. We have an opportunity to present positive success stories to the wider community.5. Public relations: Applications, particularly those that are socially beneficial, will help our perception both within the wider public and other scientific fields. 6. Connections to Other Scientific Fields: Completed systems knit together a range of scientific and engineering disciplines such as signal processing, chemistry, optimization theory, auction theory and so on. Fostering meaningful connections to these fields will benefit data mining academically, and will assist data mining practitioners to learn how to harness these fields to develop successful applications.The WorkshopThe Data Mining Case Studies Workshop and Practice Prize was established in 2005 to showcase the very best in data mining case deployments. Data Mining Case Studies continues into the fifth workshop and prize competition with ICDM-2013. Data Mining Case Studies will highlight data mining implementations that have been responsible for a significant and measurable improvement in business operations, or an equally important scientific discovery, or some other benefit to humanity. Examples of Data Mining Case Studies from previous years have included: (a) a medical application that has save hundreds of lives by mining through hundreds of thousands of patient records to identify patients who have show all the signs for heart disease, yet have not been prescribed heart medication, (b) a system which has uncovered hundreds of millions in
