Introduction

After the success of the first and second workshop of Evaluation methods of Knowledge Discovery in Data-EvalECD, in conjunction with the EGC conference - we propose to organize the third edition of the EvalECD workshop, in conjunction with the 11th EGC conference, (25-28 January 2011).

The workshop aims at discussing the evaluation techniques that are used in different domains and showing the advantages and the drawbacks of these techniques. Such a workshop, open to different communities of EGC conference, allows enriching and/or generalizing works that are presented in more specific workshops (like, IBEREVAL'2010 and INFILE'2010 on Automatic Language Processing). This workshop will offer the opportunity to propose first solutions for the problems caused by the variation of evaluation techniques of knowledge discovery and data integration.

Topics

• Evaluation protocols (automatic, human, semi-auto, etc.)
• Evaluation measures (Accuracy, Recal, Precision, F-Measure, ROC Curves, etc.)
• Chalenge evaluations (TREC, DEFT, CLEF, DUC, INEX, Pascal, OAEI, etc.)
• Tuning : feature spécifications
• Builing of benchmarks
• Validation of Knowledge Discovery in Data Bases
• Human expertize in NLP and CI
• Evaluation in Data Integration and Data Reconciliation
• HMI model evaluations (ergonomic, visualisation)
