First Call For Papers 
IncrLearn Workshop: Incremental classification and clustering, 
concept drift, novelty detection in big/fast data context 

In conjunction with: 20th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 
2020)

The development of dynamic information analysis methods, like incremental 
classification/clustering, concept drift management and novelty detection 
techniques, is becoming a central concern in a bunch of applications whose main 
goal is to deal with information which is varying over time or with information 
flows that can oversize memory storage or computation capacity. These 
applications 
relate themselves to very various and highly strategic domains, including 
web mining, social network analysis, adaptive information retrieval, anomaly or 
intrusion detection, process control and management recommender systems, 
technological and scientific survey, and even genomic information analysis, 
in bioinformatics. 

The term “incremental” is often associated to the terms evolutionary, adaptive, 
interactive, on-line, or batch. The majority of the learning methods were 
initially defined in a non-incremental way. However, in each of these families, 
were initiated incremental methods making it possible to take into account the 
temporal component of a data flow or to achieve learning on huge/fast datasets 
in a tractable way. In a more general way incremental classification/clustering 
algorithms and novelty detection approaches are subjected to the following 
constraints: 

* Potential changes in the data description space must be taken into 
consideration; 
* Possibility to be applied without knowing as a preliminary all the data 
to be analyzed; 
* Taking into account of a new data must be carried out without making 
intensive 
use of the already considered data; 
* Result must but available after insertion of all new data. 

The above mentioned constraints clearly follow the VVV (Volume-Velocity and 
Variety) rule and thus directly fit with big/fast data context. This workshop 
aims 
to offer a meeting opportunity for academics and industry-related researchers, 
belonging to the various communities of Computational Intelligence, Machine 
Learning, Experimental Design, Data Mining and Big/Fast Data Management to 
discuss 
new areas of incremental classification, concept drift management and novelty 
detection and on their application to analysis of time varying information and 
huge 
dataset of various natures. Another important aim of the workshop is to bridge 
the 
gap between data acquisition or experimentation and model building. 

Through an exhaustive coverage of the incremental learning area workshop will 
provide fruitful exchanges between plenaries, contributors and workshop 
attendees. 
The emerging big/fast data context will be taken into consideration in the 
workshop. 
The set of proposed incremental techniques includes, but is not limited to: 

* Novelty detection algorithms and techniques 
* Semi-supervised and active learning approaches 
* Machine learning for data streams 
* Adaptive hierarchical, k-means or density-based methods 
* Adaptive neural methods and associated Hebbian learning techniques 
* Incremental deep learning 
* Multiview diachronic approaches 
* Probabilistic approaches 
* Distributed approaches 
* Graph partitioning methods and incremental clustering approaches based on 
attributed graphs 
* Incremental clustering approaches based on swarm intelligence and genetic 
algorithms 
* Evolving classifier ensemble techniques 
* Incremental classification methods and incremental classifier evaluation 
* Dynamic feature selection techniques 
* Clustering of time series 
* Visualization methods for evolving data analysis results 
The list of application domain is includes, but it is not limited to: 
* Evolving textual information analysis 
* Evolving social network analysis 
* Dynamic process control and tracking 
* Intrusion and anomaly detection 
* Genomics and DNA microarray data analysis 
* Adaptive recommender and filtering systems 
* Scientometrics, webometrics and technological survey 

Important dates: 
* Paper submission: August 24, 2020 
* Notification of acceptance: September 17, 2020 
* Camera-ready (+ copyright): September 24, 2020 
* IncrLearn workshop: November 17, 2020 
* ICDM 2020 conference: November 17-20, 2020 

Submission instructions: 
The objective of this workshop is to facilitate presentations and discussions 
to 
share experience and knowledge on the issues related to incremental learning. 

Different kinds of submissions are welcome: 
* Academic contributions related to theoretical research 
* Contributions on the practical relevance of research work or models 

Submission format: 
The workshop will accept short as well long submissions: 
Short submissions will be more focused on on-going works and should have 
four (4) pages, Long submissions will concern more advanced works and should 
have at least five (5) pages and be limited to a maximum of eight (8) pages. 

Both types of submissions must be presented in the IEEE 2-column format 
(https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html), including 
the bibliography and any possible appendices. 

Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in ICDM 2020 online submission 
system 
(http://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2020/icdm20/scripts/submit.php?subarea=DM). 

Reviewing will be triple blind. The traditional blind paper submission hides 
the referee names from the authors, and the double-blind paper submission also 
hides the author names from the referees. The triple-blind reviewing further 
hides the referee names among referees during paper discussions before their 
acceptance decisions. It is imperative that all authors of submissions conceal 
their identity and affiliation information in their paper submissions. It does 
not suffice to simply remove the author names and affiliations from the first 
page, but also in the content of each paper submission. 

Publication: 
All accepted workshop papers will be published in ICDM Workshop Proceedings 
available at the conference time. After the workshop, if the quantity and 
quality 
of submissions justifies a special journal issue, authors of selected papers 
will 
be invited to re-submit their work to be considered for inclusion in a special 
issue of a journal.
