[kdd] Astroinformatics at AAS 217?

[mzp at cs.caltech.edu]

  Hi Robert,

Is the organizing committee interested only in large  data sets or in 
complex (high-dimensional)
sets as well? Also, in the description computing is emphasized, so I 
wonder if there is any interest
in sampling, data representation, etc. (though, implicitly they are all 
connected, of course).
