Title: Incremental classification and clustering, concept drift, novelty detection, active learning in big/fast data context
Acronym: IncrLearn
Duration: One day


Description:

The development of dynamic information analysis methods, like incremental classification/clustering,
concept drift management, novelty detection techniques and continuous or active learning is becoming
a central concern in a bunch of applications whose main goal is to deal with information which is
varying over time or with information flows that can oversize memory storage or computation capacity.

The term “incremental” is often associated to the terms evolutionary, adaptive, interactive, on-line,
or batch. Most of the learning methods were initially defined in a non-incremental way. However,
in each of these families, were initiated incremental methods making it possible to consider the
temporal component of a data flow or to achieve learning on huge/fast datasets in a tractable way.
In a more general way incremental classification/clustering algorithms and novelty detection approaches
are subjected to the following constraints:

1. Potential changes in the data description space must be considered;
2. Possibility to be applied without knowing as a preliminary all the data to be analyzed;
3. Taking into account of a new data must be carried out without making intensive use of the already considered data;
4. Result must but available after insertion of all new data.

Incremental learning applications relate themselves to very various and highly strategic domains,
including web mining, social network analysis, adaptive information retrieval, anomaly or intrusion detection,
process control and management recommender systems, technological and scientific survey, and even
genomic information analysis, in bioinformatics.

This workshop aims to offer a meeting opportunity for academics and industry-related researchers, belonging to
the various communities of Computational Intelligence, Machine Learning, Experimental Design, Data Mining and
Big/Fast Data Management to discuss new areas of incremental classification, concept drift management,
continuous and active learning and novelty detection and on their application to analysis of time varying
information and huge dataset of various natures. Another important aim of the workshop is to bridge the gap
between data acquisition or experimentation and model building.

Through an exhaustive coverage of the incremental learning area workshop will provide fruitful exchanges
between plenaries, contributors and workshop attendees. The emerging big/fast data context will be taken
into consideration in the workshop.
