  1. e-Science and Data Mining:Workshop Introduction Bob Mann Institute for Astronomy & NeSCUniversity of Edinburgh

  2. Outline • The groups behind this workshop • e-Science Data Mining Special Interest Group • SC4DEVO “international sister project” • Workshop goals • Workshop programme

  3. e-Science Data Mining SIG:Motivation • Many disciplines have a data deluge • Data integration major part of e-science • What to do with data once integrated? • Many standard analyses won’t scale • Much new science made possible • Look to data mining as a way of separating wheat from chaff

  4. “Scientific Data Mining, Integration & Visualization” • NeSC, October 2002 • www.nesc.ac.uk/talks/sdmiv/report.pdf • Participants from wide range of domains • astronomy, atmospheric science, bioinformatics, chemistry, digital libraries, engineering, environmental science, experimental physics, marine sciences, oceanography, and statistics…plus CS researchers and software engineers • But a common set of problems

  5. Problems from SDMIV • Lots of DM packages, lots of data formats • How to mine distributed data sources? • How to mine large data volumes? • and high-dimensional datasets • How to do data exploration? • Coupling data mining and visualization • How to work iteratively & interactively? • Tracking provenance, building workflows…

  6. Goals of the SIG • Forum for e-science data miners • Application scientists, algorithm writers, infrastructure developers • Identify requirements on infrastructure and algorithms from science drivers • Are there generic problems to solve? • Can there be an OGSA-DAI for data mining? • Stimulate/foster R&D where needed

  7. SIG activities to date • Set up steering group • N. Adams (ICTSM), J. Austin (York), Y. Guo (ICSTM), R. Mann (Edin.), R. Nichol (Port.), A. Shepherd (Birkbeck), A. Storkey (Edin.) • Mini-workshop at All Hands Meeting • Review of data mining in UK e-Science • Questionnaire [Amos Storkey talk] • This workshop

  8. Service Composition For Data Exploration in the Virtual Observatory (SC4DEVO) • e-Science “international sister project” • One of first four funded • Data exploration in astronomy • Data mining and visualization • Organise four workshops in 2004/2005 • Two astronomy-specific, two general • SC4DEVO-1: Caltech in July 2004 • SC4DEVO-2: now (Tue-Thu)

  9. Workshop Goals • Forum for discussion of issues relating to data mining in an e-science context • Contribution to esdm-sig review • Supplementing questionnaire results • Plan for esdm-sig operations • What should it do? • How often should it meet? • Etc.

  10. Workshop Programme • Introduction & context • Application drivers • e-Science data mining issues: • Scalability • Web/Grid service implementations • Mining distributed data sources • Text mining • Discussion • Report back and wrap-up Tuesday Wednesday
