European Conference on Machine learning and knowledge discovery in databases (ECMLPKDD 2020)

September 14 - September 18, 2020 Ghent, Belgium

Scope & Topics

The community meeting decided ECML-PKDD 2020 will be held in Ghent, Belgium.The European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases will take place in Ghent, Belgium, from the 14nd to the 18nd of September 2020.This event is the premier European machine learning and data mining conference and builds upon over 18 years of successful events and conferences held across Europe.We look forward to welcome you in 2020.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following

• machine learning
• data mining
• artificial intelligence
• applications.
  

Paper Submission

 Papers on all topics related to machine learning, knowledge discovery, and data mining are invited. However, given the special nature of the journal track, only papers that satisfy the quality criteria of journal papers and at the same time lend themselves to conference talks will be considered. Consequently, journal versions of previously published conference papers, or survey papers will not be considered for the special issue. Note that a paper rejected by the Machine Learning Journal should not be submitted to the Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Journal and vice versa. Papers that do not fall into the eligible category may be rejected without formal reviews but can of course be resubmitted as regular papers. Authors are encouraged to adhere to the best practices of Reproducible Research (RR), by making available data and software tools for reproducing the results reported in their papers. For the sake of persistence and proper authorship attribution, we require the use of standard repository hosting services such as dataverse, mldata, openml, etc. for data sets, and mloss, bitbucket, github, etc. for source code. Authors who submit their work to the ECMLPKDD special issues of these journals commit themselves to presenting their paper at the ECMLPKDD conference if it is accepted. Note that for the earlier deadlines, this is likely to be ECMLPKDD 2020, but for the later deadlines this may be a later edition.
