This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First European Symposium on Principles of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, PKDD '97, held in Trondheim, Norway, in June 1997.
The volume presents a total of 38 revised full papers together with abstracts of one invited talk and four tutorials. Among the topics covered are data and knowledge representation, statistical and probabilistic methods, logic-based approaches, man-machine interaction aspects, AI contributions, high performance computing support, machine learning, automated scientific discovery, quality assessment, and applications.
