Intelligent Data Analysis and Data Mining

Welcome to the web site of Intelligent Data Analysis and Data Mining, a Workgroup WG3 of International Medical Informatics Association!

Intelligent data analysis (IDA) and data mining (DM) are recently emerging and very active fields of research. While IDA and DM methods have been extensively applied for industrial and business applications, their utilization in medicine and health-care is sparse. The main goal of the IMIA Workgroup is to increase the awareness and acceptance of these methods in medical community. The aim of the Workgroup is to provide an umbrella for scientific discussion and dissemination of new knowledge on data-mining and AI-based methods for data analysis and data mining techniques applied to medicine. It also tries to promote the development of the standardized platforms and solutions. The Workgroup provides a forum for presentation of successful IDA and DM implementations in medicine, and discussion of best practices in introduction of these techniques in medical and health-care information and decision support systems.

The Workgroup officially become a part of IMIA on August 26th, 2000 at IMIA General Assembly. Although the Workgroup is very young, its members have previously collaborated in number of common projects and activities, of which most notably are IDAMAP workshop that take place every year. List of IDAMAP workshops, as well as other related activites, is available.

IDADM Working Group is closely collaborating with Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDDM-WG) of AMIA. As of July 2007, their latest activity is

Data Mining Competition
Co-sponsored by the AMIA Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Work Group
and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
