This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the PAKDD 2012 International
Workshops: Third Workshop on Data Mining for Healthcare Management (DMHM 2012) First Workshop
on Geospatial Information and Documents (GeoDoc 2012) First Workshop on Multi-view data
High-dimensionality External Knowledge: Striving for a Unified Approach to Clustering (3Clust
2012) and the Second Doctoral Symposium on Data Mining (DSDM 2012) held in conjunction with
the 16th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD 2012) in Kuala
Lumpur Malaysia May June 2012. The 12 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from numerous submissions. DMHM 2012 aimed at providing a common platform for the
discussion of challenging issues and potential techniques in this emerging field of data mining
for health care management 3Clust 2012 focused on solving emerging problems such as clustering
ensembles semi-supervised clustering subspace projective clustering co-clustering and
multi-view clustering GeoDoc 2012 highlighted the formalization of geospatial concepts and
relationships with a focus on the extraction of geospatial relations in free text datasets to
offer to the database community a unified framework for geodata discovery and DSDM 2012
provided the opportunity for Ph.D. students and junior researchers to discuss their work on
data mining foundations techniques and applications.
