Jerome Friedman June 1 - November 1, 2005 Accepting Abstract Submissions November 1, 2005 Abstract Submission Deadline (no flexibility) March 27 - 29, 2006 San Diego, California Pre-Conference Training March 29* - March 31, 2006 San Diego, California Conference * Conference begins with an evening welcome reception on March 29th June 5 - 6, 2006 Sydney, Australia Pre-Conference Training June 6 - 8, 2006 Sydney, Australia Conference During this time, he also introduced Projection Pursuit Regression (PPR) for predictive modeling and interactive data visualization. Although PPR has had only a modest following, it was arguably the first instance of a feed-forward, single hidden layer, back propagation neural network with a remarkable twist: the activation function is itself estimated as part of the learning process and the number of hidden units to use is determined dynamically in a stagewise process (1974, 1981, 1987). Finally, Jerry has written a series of expository articles and a substantial book seeking to explain data mining to experienced data analysts and to relate machine learning to statistical foundations. Taken together, this list of new methodology, including Salford Systems Data Mining, MARS, PRIM, PPR, and Gradient Boosting, constitutes one of the broadest ranges of contributions by any one person in the field.
