Proceedings of the 6th RapidMiner wisdom (2015)

After a fantastic RapidMiner World in Boston in 2014, we are happy to be back with our user conference in Europe, and in particular in beautiful Ljubljana, Solvenia. The new name, RapidMiner Wisdom, also comes with a few changes that we hope will make the conference even more enjoyable for you. First and most obvious, the schedule is condensed to two days, August 31st and September 1st, 2015. On the first day, everything revolves around training, enablement, and certification for our users and partners. Plus, to get you in the right mood for day two, we will have another edition of our now famous live data mining game show, “Who Wants to be a Data Miner?” where you can compete by using RapidMiner to solve problems it was never supposed to solve and win great prizes. The second day has many great presentations from our community, covering use cases solved with RapidMiner and novel extensions. This year, we have a focus on applications from the health care domain. The series of presentations is kicked off by a keynote from Mike Ferguson, managing director of Intelligent Business Strategies. Furthermore, Lars Bauerle, RapidMiner’s CPO, and myself will bring you the latest News from the Labs, showing our most recent and future innovations.
