Fort Worth Museum of Science & History 9/11 Tribute The theme of the workshop on Knowledge Discovery from Digital Libraries (KDDL) was to uncover hidden relationships between data with techniques from artificial intelligence, mathematics, statistics, and algorithms. The workshop organizers, which included ODU Computer Science alumna, Dr. Hui Shi , Dr. Wu He , and Dr. Guandong Xu identified the following objectives that we were to explore: Existing and novel techniques to extract and present knowledge from digital libraries; Advanced ways to organize and maintain digital libraries to facilitate knowledge discovery; Knowledge discovery applications in business; and New challenges and technologies brought to the area of knowledge discovery and digital libraries.

On June 3, 2018, PhD students arrived in Fort Worth, Texas to attend the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries Doctoral Consortium . This is a pre-conference event associated with the ACM and IEEE-CS Joint Conference on Digital Libraries .

As usual, I live-tweeted the event to capture salient points. It was a very enjoyable experience for all. Thanks very much to the chairs: J. Stephen Downie , University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign , USA Oksana Zavalina , University of North Texas , USA Daniel Gelaw Alemneh , University of North Texas , USA Sampath Jayarathna , Old Dominion University , USA In this post I will cover the work of all accepted students, three of whom are ...
