Aim of the Session
------------------------

The EUSFLAT working group on Machine Learning and Data Mining (DAMI) is organizing a special session as part of IPMU 2010 conference in Dortmund.
The objective of the special session is to provide a forum for the discussion of recent advances in the application of fuzzy set methodology and technology to
data mining and machine learning problems, both in batch off-line and incremental on-line mode, and to offer an opportunity for researchers and practitioners
to identify and discuss recent advances and new promising research directions.

Scope
--------

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the application of fuzzy sets, fuzzy systems and related methods in

- Data pre-processing and summarization
- Handling of incomplete and heterogeneous data,
- Data, text, and web mining methods
- Pattern recognition
- Dimensionality reduction and feature selection
- Interactive and on-line data mining, fuzzy mining of data streams
- Incremental/adaptive fuzzy clustering, fuzzy classification and fuzzy regression approaches
- Evolving fuzzy systems/classifiers
- Interpretability and process safety aspects
- Active and semi-supervised learning
- Human-machine interaction and the incorporation of background knowledge
- Mining at multiple levels of abstraction,
- Database querying and ad-hoc data mining,
- Visualization and presentation of data mining results.
- Postprocessing and summarization of knowledge
- Parallel and distributed mining algorithms
- Application cases of fuzzy data mining and machine learning


Important Dates
--------------------

- Deadline for Papers Submission (regularly through the conference website): January 17, 2010.
- Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: March 7, 2010.
