Announcements

Here is an article about this workshop in the KDD Explorations and a shorter version in the IMS Bulletin.

Slides will be posted as soon as we have collected all of them. For the impatient, here are the ones we have collected thus far.

273 people came to this meeting. The organizers thank all participants for their interest.

Program, abstracts of talks, abstracts of posters. PDF file with everything.

Talks will take place at the Annenberg Auditorium. Click here for directions and maps. The welcome reception will be held at the New Guinea Garden on Wednesday evening. The poster session and main reception will be at the Old Union Club House on Friday evening. Lunch on Saturday and the closing reception on Saturday evening will both take place in front of the Annenberg Auditorium.

Housing, transportation, and parking information.

If you would like to present a poster, please send a title and abstract to mmds-organizers@math.stanford.edu and your registration fee will be waived or reimbursed if already paid (one registration waiver per poster). This workshop will be well attended by members of the Stanford CS industrial affiliates and might be a good opportunity to publicize your work.

Synopsis

The 2008 Workshop on Algorithms for Modern Massive Data Sets (MMDS 2008) will address algorithmic, mathematical, and statistical challenges in modern large-scale 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.
