MLG-2010: Call for Participation

Call for Participation
Eighth Workshop on Mining and Learning with Graphs 2010 (MLG-2010)
http://www.cs.umd.edu/mlg2010
Washington, DC, July, 24-25
(co-located with KDD 2010 )

This year’s workshop on Mining and Learning with Graphs will be held in
conjunction with the 16th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery
and Data Mining that will take place in July 25-28, 2010 in Washington,
DC.

The importance of being able to effectively mine and learn from data
that is best represented as a graph is growing, as more and more
structured and semi-structured data is becoming available. Examples
include the WWW, social networks, biological networks, communication
networks, food webs, and many others. Traditionally, a number of
subareas have worked with mining and learning from graph structured
data, including communities in graph mining, learning from structured
data, statistical relational learning, inductive logic programming, and,
moving beyond sub-disciplines in computer science, social network
analysis, and, more broadly network science. The objective of this
workshop is to bring together researchers from a variety of these areas,
and discuss commonality and differences in challenges faced, survey some
of the different approaches, and provide a forum to present and learn
about some of the most cutting edge research in this area. As an
outcome, we expect participants to walk away with a better sense of the
variety of different tools available for graph mining and learning, and
an appreciation for some of the interesting emerging applications for
mining and learning from graphs.
