Advances in Intelligent Data Analysis VIII, 2009 8th International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis, IDA 2009, Lyon, France, August 31 - September 2, 2009, Proceedings Information Systems and Applications, incl. Internet/Web, and HCI Series

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Intelligent Data Analysis, IDA 2009, held in Lyon, France, August 31 - September 2, 2009.The 33 revised papers, 18 full oral presentations and 15 poster and short oral presentations, presented were carefully reviewed and selected from almost 80 submissions. All current aspects of this interdisciplinary field are addressed, for example interactive tools to guide and support data analysis in complex scenarios, increasing availability of automatically collected data, tools that intelligently support and assist human analysts, how to control clustering results and isotonic classification trees. In general the areas covered include statistics, machine learning, data mining, classification and pattern recognition, clustering, applications, modeling, and interactive dynamic data visualization.
