SDM 2020 Call for Papers

[Alfredo Cuzzocrea]

20th SIAM International Conference on Data Mining May 7 - May 9, 2020,
Cincinnati, OH, USA ========================================

SDM 2020 - http://www.siam.org/meetings/sdm20
Call for Papers


Scope
=====
Data mining is the computational process for discovering valuable knowledge
from data - the core of modern Data Science. It has enormous application in
numerous fields, including science, engineering, healthcare, business, and
medicine. Typical datasets in these fields are large, complex, and often
noisy. Extracting knowledge from these datasets requires the use of
sophisticated, high-performance, and principled analysis techniques and
algorithms, which are based on sound theoretical and statistical
foundations. These techniques in turn require implementations on high
performance computational infrastructure that are carefully tuned for
performance. Powerful visualization technologies along with effective user
interfaces are also essential to make data mining tools appealing to
researchers, analysts, data scientists and application developers from
different disciplines, as well as usable by stakeholders.

The SDM conference provides a venue for researchers who are addressing these
problems to present their work in a peer-reviewed forum. It also provides an
ideal setting for graduate students and others new to the field to learn
about cutting-edge research by hearing outstanding invited speakers and
attending presentations and tutorials (included with conference
registration). A set of focused workshops is also held on the last day of
the conference. The proceedings of the conference are published in archival
form and are also made available on the SIAM web site.
