IDAIR 2014 - 2nd Intelligent Data Analysis with Applications in Information Retrieval and Machine Learning

IDAIR: 2nd Intelligent Data Analysis with Applications in Information Retrieval and Machine Learning
Call for Paper
Background:
Intelligent Data Analysis is one of the most interesting research areas in Computing and more specifically with great impact in Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Technology and Software Engineering.
Building Intelligent Data Analysis Systems requires integration of Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, Data Mining algorithms into specific application domains. The main issues are to design, develop and implement effective Intelligent Data Analysis Systems that improve currently existing applications. Such systems mainly rely upon activity data produced by the system itself and on a custom designed data analysis process that produces desired knowledge according with certain constraints set up by a domain expert.
We want to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines and we want to achieve a balance of presentations from the more theoretical side (both statistics and computer science) as well as more application oriented areas that illustrate how these techniques can be used in practice. The field of software engineering turns out to be a fertile ground where many software development and maintenance tasks could be formulated as learning problems and approached in terms of learning algorithms.
The session targets research efforts that have as outcome progress in building Intelligent Systems in any application domains such as Image and Video Processing, Multimedia Systems, E-Learning, E-Commerce, E-Society Applications, Medical Applications.
Any data analysis process, which analyse data generated by any information system, may have as output an Intelligent System. Adaptation of existing or development of new data analysis processes that use techniques from areas of Artificial Intelligence ? Intelligent Systems such as statistics, machine learning, information retrieval, data mining, recommender systems or scientific computing are welcomed.
