Call For Papers - CFP

Bring together researchers (from both academia and industry) as well as practitioners from all three different groups in the healthcare system (payers, providers, and pharmaceuticals) to talk about their different perspectives and to share their latest problems and ideas.

Attract healthcare professionals who have access to interesting sources of data and problems but not the expertise in data mining to solve them effectively. This group would otherwise not attend KDD and we believe through our personal experiences that it is essential for KDD research community to interact with them.

We want this workshop will serve as a bridge between the traditional KDD community and healthcare professionals - two groups of participants that have a lot to learn from and share with each other.

In summary, this workshop will strive to emphasize the following aspects:

Addressing the fundamental challenges in improving healthcare and how data mining technologies will help

Presenting recent advances in data mining algorithms and methods for healthcare transformation

Identifying the next step of healthcare solutions and the possible data driven solutions

Fostering interactions and collaborations among researchers and practitioners (from different backgrounds), and healthcare professionals, to promote cross-fertilization of ideas.

Exploring unified platforms and data for better evaluation of the techniques

Deployed healthcare applications of data mining

New classes of research problems motivated by real-world business problems

Data mining applications as components of healthcare business processes

How data mining is useful for various participants in the healthcare system

Providers (hospitals, labs, clinics)

Payers (Insurance companies)

Pharmaceuticals
