Last Call For Papers 

2nd Workshop on 
Incremental classification and clustering, concept drift, novelty detection 
in big/fast data context (IncrLearn) 
Weblink: https://incrlearn.sciencesconf.org/ 

In conjunction with 
21st IEEE International Conference on Data Mining 
(ICDM 2021) 
December 7-11, 2021, Auckland, New Zealand (Virtual) 

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. Most 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 consider 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: 
1. Potential changes in the data description space must be considered; 
2. Possibility to be applied without knowing as a preliminary all the data to 
be analyzed; 
3. Taking into account of a new data must be carried out without making 
intensive use of the already considered data; 
4. 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.
