SAN DIEGO, April 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RandomForests® Co-Developer Dr. Adele Cutler is presenting a case study of archetypal analysis of dietary patterns related to memory and aging at the Salford Analytics and Data Mining Conference. The conference will take place on May 24-25, 2012 at the Courtyard San Diego Old Town hotel in San Diego, Calif.
Dr. Cutler's work with the late Dr. Leo Breiman of the University of California, Berkeley on RandomForests has helped enable data mining programs and consulting firms accomplish key project objectives with its ability to work with large datasets and provide extreme predictive accuracy.
"RandomForests and Archetypal Analysis of Dietary Patterns in the Cache County Study on Memory and Aging" is Dr. Cutler's joint work with Heidi Wengreen, Ron Munger, Chris Corcoran and Anna Quach at the University of Utah. This, and other real-word data mining case studies to be presented at ADMC, are a true testimony to the power that algorithms such as RandomForests have in the modern world when aiming to turn a dataset of information into knowledge.
"Understanding modern data mining and deploying advanced predictive analytics has become a top priority across industries and in academic research," said Mikhail Golovnya, Senior Scientist at Salford Systems. "The objective of the Salford Analytics and Data Mining Conference is to bring to the forefront the real issues and implications of data mining and we are excited to have some of the most prominent scientists and leaders such as Dr. Cutler to share their insights and experience with the data mining community."
Salford Systems is honored to have Dr. Cutler as one of its prominent conference speakers, along with a long list of theoretical and practical experts working in the field.
Online registration is now open, and the conference agenda is available at http://www.salforddatamining.com/agenda.html.
