* Call For Papers
The European Conference on "Machine Learning" and "Principles and
Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases" (ECML-PKDD) provides an
international forum for the discussion of the latest high-quality
research results in all areas related to machine learning and knowledge
discovery in databases and other innovative application domains.
Submissions are invited on all aspects of machine learning, knowledge
discovery and data mining, including real-world applications.
The overriding criteria for acceptance will be a paper’s:
- potential to inspirethe research community by introducing new and
relevant problems, concepts, solution strategies, and ideas;
- contribution to solving a problem widely recognized as both
challenging and important;
- capability to address a novel area of impactof machine learning and
data mining.
Other criteria are scientific rigour and correctness, challenges
overcome, quality and reproducibility of the experiments, and presentation.
* Proceedings and Special Journal Issues
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (LNAI).
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit a significantly
extended version of their paper to two post-conference special issues of
the journals "Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
<http://www.springer.com/computer/database+management+%26+information+retrieval/journal/10618>"
and "Machine Learning <http://www.springer.com/computer/ai/journal/10994>".
* Submissions
All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled
online via the CMT conference management toolkit at
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ECMLPKDD2012/.
The papers must be written in English and formatted according to the
Springer LNAI guidelines. Authors instructions and style files can be
downloaded at:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
The maximum length of papers is 16 pages in this format. Overlength
papers will be rejected without review.
Papers submitted should report original work; ECML-PKDD 2012 will not
accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review or
has already been accepted for publication in a journal or another
conference. Authors are also expected not to submit their papers
elsewhere during the review period. To minimize the impact of this
constraint, a significant proportion of rejected papers will be notified
at the early notification date.
* Reviewing process
Papers submitted to ECML-PKDD 2012 will normally be reviewed by three
referees. The review process is single-blind (reviewer identities
unknown to authors) and there will be no opportunity for author
rebuttal. This decision was made to minimize reviewer workload and to
concentrate it in time, which may ultimately result in better quality
reviews and decisions. If necessary, a discussion will take place among
the reviewers of a paper until a decision is reached.
