  • G. J. Babu, who with E. Feigelson organized the seminal "Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy" workshops bringing together both statisticans and astronomers, organized a related session on Data Mining at the Joint Statistical Meetings in August. (This is usually the largest gathering of statisticians in the states.) For more info, check out the IISA Web page. and click on Joint Statistical Meetings (Indianapolis, August 2000).
