Final, camera-ready papers will be due May 1, 1996. The papers will be reviewed prior to inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. The primary objective of database mining methodologies and systems is to help the user in discovering potentially significant facts or data patterns. Although statistical methods offer some help in that respect, their applicability is limited by often strong assumptions and general lack of techniques to analyze and characterize the structural relationships existing in data. However, the goals of machine learning are different from database mining and, therefore, simple adaptation of learning algorithms to deal with database mining questions solves a small part of the whole problem.
