[Anna Lynn Spitzer]

Title:                           ResCUE Seminar Series - Discovering
Interesting Subsets of Data in Cube Space

 

Speaker:                   Raghu Ramakrishnan, professor of computer
sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison

 

Time:                         Refreshments, 10:30 a.m.; lecture, 11 a.m.

 

Date:                          Thursday, Jan. 12, 2006

                                                   

Location:                  Computer Science Building, Room 432

 

Abstract:                   Data Cubes have been widely studied and
implemented, so researchers shouldn't be thinking about them anymore,
right? Wrong. In his talk, Ramakrishnan will try to convince his
audience that the multidimensional model of data provides the right
perspective for addressing many challenging tasks, including dealing
with imprecision, mining for interesting subsets of data, analysis of
historical stream data and world peace.  The talk will touch upon
results from a couple of VLDB 2005 papers and some recent ongoing work.

 

Bio:                            Raghu Ramakrishnan is professor of
computer sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and was
founder and CTO of QUIQ, a company that pioneered collaborative customer
support (acquired by Kanisa). His research is in the area of database
systems, with a focus on data retrieval, analysis and mining. He and his
group have developed scalable algorithms for clustering, decision-tree
construction and itemset counting, and were among the first to
investigate mining of continuously evolving stream data. His work on
query optimization and deductive databases has found its way into
several commercial database systems, and his work on extending SQL to
deal with queries over sequences has influenced the design of window
functions in SQL:1999.

 

He is chair of ACM SIGMOD, on the board of directors of ACM SIGKDD and
the board of trustees of the VLDB Endowment, an associate editor of ACM
Transactions on Database Systems, and was previously editor-in-chief of
the Journal of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery and the database area
editor of the Journal of Logic Programming. Dr. Ramakrishnan is a Fellow
of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and has received
several awards, including a Packard Foundation Fellowship, an NSF
Presidential Young Investigator Award, and an ACM SIGMOD Contributions
Award. He has authored over 100 technical papers and written the
widely-used text "Database Management Systems" (WCB/McGraw-Hill), now in
its third edition (with J. Gehrke).
