Call for Papers - IDEA @ KDD 2016

KDD 2016 Workshop on Interactive Data Exploration and Analysis.
Sunday, August 14. San Francisco

IDEA is a full-day workshop organized in conjunction with the The ACM SIGKDD
Conference on Knowledge, Discovery and Data Mining in San Francisco, USA,
on 4 August 2016. Since 2013, the annul IDEA workshop has grown to become
one of the largest KDD workshops, with hundreds of researchers in attendance
last year. Join us this year in San Francisco!

Paper submission deadline: Fri, May 27, 2016, 23:59 Hawaii Time

* Workshop Goals

We aim to address the development of data mining techniques that allow users
to interactively explore their data, receiving near-instant updates to every
requested refinement. Our focus and emphasis is on interactivity and effective
integration of techniques from data mining, visualization and human-computer
interaction. In other words, we explore how the best of these different,
related domains can be combined such that the sum is greater than the parts.


* Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to

- Interactive data mining algorithms
- Visualizations for interactive data mining
- Demonstrations of interactive data mining
- Quick, high-level data analysis methods
- Any-time data mining algorithms
- Visual analytics
- Methods that allow meaningful intermediate results
- Data surrogates
- On-line algorithms
- Adaptive stream mining algorithms
- Theoretical/complexity analysis of instant data mining
- Learning from user input for action replication/prediction
- Active learning / mining


* Submission Information

We welcome both novel research papers, demo papers, work-in-progress papers,
visionary papers, and relevant work that has been previously published,
or will be presented at the main conference. All papers will be peer reviewed.

Submissions should be in PDF, written in English, with a maximum of 10 pages.
Shorter papers are welcome.

The accepted papers will be posted on the workshop website and will not appear
in the KDD proceedings.
