ECML/PKDD 2014: European Conference on Machine Learning and
Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases

Nancy, France, September 15-19, 2014

http://www.ecmlpkdd2014.org/
-----------------------------------------------------------

The ECML-PKDD 2014 Organizing Committee invites proposals for half-day
tutorials to be held on the first and last days of the conference, which
will take place in Nancy, France from September 15th to 19th, 2014.
Tutorials are intended to provide a comprehensive introduction to core
techniques and areas of interest for the machine learning and the data
mining community. We are interested in tutorials on established or emerging
research topics in the areas above but we also welcome tutorials from
related research fields or applications. The ideal tutorial should attract
a wide audience. It should be broad enough to provide a basic introduction
to the chosen research area, but it should also cover the most important
topics in depth. Each tutorial should be well-focused so that its content
can be covered in a half day slot (3h plus a 30-minute break). Proposals
that exclusively focus on the presenter's own work or commercial
demonstrations are strongly discouraged.

Tutorial slides will be made available online at the main ECML-PKDD server,
although authors can provide them in additional websites as well. Tutorial
speakers will be offered the possibility of a reduced or waived
registration fee, depending on the number of speakers for the tutorial.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Submissions
-----------------------------------------------------------
The submissions should contain:
-- a title and an abstract of the tutorial.
-- a brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the
ECML PKDD community (no more than 2 pages).
-- a brief outline of the tutorial structure showing that the tutorial's
core content can be covered in a 3 hours slot.
-- the names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the
tutorial instructors, including one-paragraph statement of their research
interests and areas of expertise.
-- a list of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, if the same or
a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere; otherwise an estimate of the
audience size.
-- a description of special requirements for technical equipment (e.g.,
internet access).

Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text no
later than March 7, 2014 to: tutorials at ecmlpkdd2014.org. The subject line
should be: "ECML PKDD 2014: TUTORIAL PROPOSAL". The proponents will receive
an email confirmation that their proposal has been received. If no
confirmation arrives within 24 hours after sending the proposal, the
proponents should contact the tutorial co-chairs again.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Proposal reviewing process
-----------------------------------------------------------

The proposal will be reviewed by the tutorial co-chairs, who may use the
help of external reviewers, expert on the submission topics.
The features that will be evaluated are:
-- the interestingness for the ECML PKDD areas, which should result in a
large audience;
-- the clarity of the tutorial, which should emerge from its description;
-- good organization as appearing from the outline;
-- the adequacy of the speakers, i.e., her/his background/experience in
teaching the target topics; and
-- the ability to explain the topics to a large audience with heterogeneous
background.

then provide the revised abstracts (ASCII format) of their tutorials by
