IDA 2018 - The Seventeenth International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis

When the IDA Symposium series started in 1995, it focused on the problem of end-to-end intelligent support for data analysis. Complementary to other mainstream conferences in data science, IDA’s mission is to promote ideas over performance: a solid motivation can be as convincing as exhaustive empirical evaluation. To this end, IDA creates an open atmosphere that encourages discussion and promotes innovative ideas in data analysis.
To accomplish this, IDA 2018 is offering new submission and presentation modalities, as well as new acceptance criteria and reviewer guidelines. We solicit full papers, short papers, posters, short videos, and slide decks. All submissions, of all types, will be peer reviewed following criteria that emphasize novelty and relevance over other factors. Please see the Call for Contributions for further details! The IDA Symposium, which is A-ranked according to ERA, is open to all kinds of modeling and analysis methods, irrespective of discipline. It is expected to be an interdisciplinary meeting that seeks abstractions that cut across domains.
