KDD cup 2008 and the workshop on mining medical data

ABSTRACT

In this report we summarize the KDD Cup 2008 task, which addressed a problem of early breast cancer detection. We describe the data and the challenges, the results and summarize the algorithms used by the winning teams. We also summarize the workshop on Mining Medical Data held in conjunction with SIGKDD on August 24, 2008 in Las Vegas, NV that brought together researchers working on various aspects of applying machine learning and data mining to challenging tasks in medical and health care domains.
