- I was very pleased to take part of the
KDID 2022 workshop
co-located with ECML/PKDD 2022 in
Grenoble. Its title was
Knowledge Discovery in Databases 20th anniversary of KDID
workshop. This workshop was also a special event to celebrate the end of
the academic career
of Jean-François
Boulicaut. Arnaud
Soulet, François
Rioult and I wrote a paper
entitled condensed survey on condensed
representations of patterns, one of our favorite research topic
associated with the KDID workshop series and Jean-François' work.
