Kristin Bennett (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)was an early researcher 
of an important new class of methods now known as support vector machines. 
For the past ten years she has been investigating support vector machines 
and other mathematical programming based methods for machine learning and 
data mining problems. She will present an intuitive geometric-based 
overview of support vector machines.  Dr. Bennett is an Associate Professor 
of Mathematical Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She is an 
active researcher in the knowledge discovery and data mining, machine 
learning, neural network, and operations research communities. Kristen has 
also has worked as visiting researcher in the Data Mining & Exploration 
Group at Microsoft Research, and as consultant with corporations including 
Chase Manhattan Mortgage and Kodak.

Dr. John F. Elder IV (Elder Research) heads a Data Mining consulting firm 
in Charlottesville, Virginia.  For fifteen years, he's developed and 
applied adaptive, data-driven techniques to practical problems. - at an 
engineering consulting firm, for an investment management company, at Rice 
University, and at the University of Virginia. Dr. Elder has written and 
spoken widely on pattern discovery techniques, is active on Statistical and 
Engineering journals and boards, has authored some influential data mining 
tools, and has been a pioneer in the breakthrough technique of "bundling" 
diverse models.  John has led projects successfully applying Data Mining to 
a wide variety of applications - including credit scoring, direct 
marketing, sales forecasting, stock selection, drug efficacy, adaptive
