[A.N.Pryke]

My name is Andy Pryke, I'm currently writing up my Ph.D on data mining
at The University of Birmingham, England. My work is on visualisation
of data and discoveries, and I have also developed a genetic algorithm
based data mining algorithm.

Some (slightly dated) information on my work can be found at
(http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~anp/haiku/).

I'm particularly interested in data mining / machine learning
algorithms and visualisation. I find reports of real-world
applications fascinating - I think one of the defining features of
data mining is that it is grounded in real-world problems.

I run a set of pages called "The Data Mine" at
(http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~anp/TheDataMine.html) This was, as far as I
know, the first collection of data mining information on the web
(April 1994) beating Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro's excellent "Knowledge
Discovery Mine" (http://www.kdnuggets.com/) by week or so!

My data mining bibliography
(http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~anp/papers.html) contains information on
over 400 papers relevant to the KDD / Data Mining field, quite a few
of which are online. Entries for relevant papers are gratefully
received, but unfortunately only in computer readable (bibtex / refer)
format.

P.S. Anyone who wishes to add their biography to my pages can do so
via a form (http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~anp/contributions/people.html)
