This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Discovery Science, DS 2007, held in Sendai, Japan, in October 2007, co-located with the 18th International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory, ALT 2007.

The 17 revised long papers and the 10 revised regular papers presented together with 5 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers cover all issues in the area of development and analysis of methods for intelligent data analysis, knowledge discovery and machine learning, as well as their application to scientific knowledge discovery.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching, CPM 2002, held in Fukuoka, Japan, in July 2002.The 21 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers are devoted to current theoretical and computational aspects of searching and matching strings and more complicated patterns such as trees, regular expressions, graphs, point sets, and arrays. Among the application fields are the World Wide Web, computational biology, computer vision, multimedia, information retrieval, data compression, and pattern recognition.
