The 2nd International Conference on Data-driven Knowledge Discovery
& Seminar on Knowledge Mapping Theory and Practice
Nowadays, large-scale data has shown a trend of relevance, cross-cutting, and integration. Fusion innovation has provided new impetus and new opportunities for the coordinated development of various industries. In the changing and massive information environment, supporting complex decision-making and providing in-depth knowledge service through data mining and exploring cross-cutting, large-span, deep-level and comprehensive fusion data research methods have become the key capabilities and core competitiveness for innovation. Meanwhile, being familiar with and master data fusion method and technology will not only help researchers and students improve their innovation capabilities and research levels, but also help support personnel involved in practice work to improve their service capabilities and business literacy.
To provide a leading forum for well-known domestic and foreign experts to exchange ideas on these topics, the National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is organizing the 2nd International Conference on Data-driven Knowledge Discovery (CDKD2018) & Training Course on Theory and Practice of Knowledge Graph, which will be held in Beijing, China, during October, 30th - December 2nd, 2018.
The conference will focus on the exploration and practice of data development, big data gathering, big data management, big data analysis, big data service and so on. Moreover, We will invite internationally renowned knowledge mapping experts, Kevin Boyack, main founder of SciVal, and Nees-jan van Eck, main founder of VOSviewer, to provide in-depth guidance and training on the practice of big data visualization. Colleagues engaged in relevant research and work at home and abroad are welcome to sign up for participation. For your convenient, the course is equipped with translations.
