MMDS 2008. Workshop on Algorithms for Modern Massive Data Sets

Stanford University
June 25–28, 2008

Please check back in mid May 2008 for registration information.

Synopsis

The 2008 Workshop on Algorithms for Modern Massive Data Sets (MMDS 2008) will address algorithmic, mathematical, and statistical challenges in modern statistical data analysis. The goals of MMDS 2008 are to explore novel techniques for modeling and analyzing massive, high-dimensional, and nonlinearly-structured scientific and internet data sets, and to bring together computer scientists, statisticians, mathematicians, and data analysis practitioners to promote cross-fertilization of ideas.

For further information, please see the conference web page from MMDS 2006 and the SIAM News article about the 2006 workshop.
