DS 2011 - Fourteenth International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2011)

DS 2011 provides an open forum for intensive discussions and exchange of new ideas among researchers working in the area of Discovery Science. The scope of the conference includes the development and analysis of methods for automatic scientific knowledge discovery, machine learning, intelligent data analysis, theory of learning, as well as their application to knowledge discovery. Especially welcome are papers that strongly focus on the discovery aspect of the reported work. The proceedings of DS 2011 will appear in the Lecture Notes Series by Springer-Verlag.

You may also familiarize yourself with What is Discovery Science?

We invite submissions of research papers addressing all aspects of discovery science. We particularly welcome contributions that discuss the application of scientific knowledge discovery and other support techniques including, but not limited to, biomedical, astronomical, space, chemistry, and physics domains.

Mentoring Program

Following the success of the previous years, Discovery Science 2011 is featuring a mentoring program once again. Students who are first authors of papers are invited to submit a paper draft, no later than the mentoring deadline. They will receive comments from a PC member that will help them prepare their final submission. Final paper submission should follow regular paper procedure, with abstract and full paper submission.

The papers for mentoring can be submitted by sending the pdf version of the paper to the PC chairs: elomaa (at) cs dot tampere dot fi and jaakko dot hollmen (at) tkk dot fi.
