Call for Papers: HaCDAIS 2010, ECML/PKDD 2010 Workshop on

Handling Concept Drift in Adaptive Information Systems:
Importance, Challenges and Solutions

September 24, 2010 - Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
http://wwwis.win.tue.nl/hacdais2010/
===============================================================
AIM and SCOPE
===============================================================
The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of
recent advances in handling concept drift in adaptive information
systems, and to offer an opportunity for researchers and practitioners
to identify and discuss recent advances and new promising research
directions.

In the real world data is often non stationary. In predictive analytics,
machine learning and data mining the phenomenon of unexpected change in
underlying data over time is known as concept drift. Thus the learning
models need to be adaptive to the changes.

The problem of concept drift is of increasing importance to machine
learning and data mining as more and more data is organized in the form
of data streams rather than static databases. Different approaches for
detecting and handling concept drift have been proposed, and many of
them have already proved their potential in a wide range of application
domains, e.g. fraud detection, adaptive system control, user modeling,
information retrieval, text mining, biomedicine.

===============================================================
TOPICS of INTEREST
===============================================================
In this workshop, we aim to attract researchers with an interest in
handling concept drift and recurring contexts in adaptive information
systems. Although we have emphasized the application aspects of handling
concept drift the workshop is open to any original work in this area.

A non-exhaustive list of topics includes:
- Classification and clustering on data streams and evolving data
- Change and novelty detection in online, semi-online and offline settings
- Adaptive ensembles
- Adaptive sampling and instance selection
- Incremental learning and model adaptivity
- Delayed labeling in data streams
- Dynamic feature selection
- Handling local and complex concept drift
- Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of concept drift handling
performance
- Reoccurring contexts and context-aware approaches
- Application-specific and domain driven approaches within the
areas of information retrieval, recommender systems, pattern
recognition, user modeling, decision support and adaptive
(information) systems

We invite submissions in the following categories:
-- New approaches advancing the current state of the art
-- Generic frameworks for handing concept drift and reoccurring contexts
-- Taxonomies and categorizations of the approaches for handing concept
drift and reoccurring contexts
-- Case studies and application examples dealing with drifting data
-- Data generators, benchmark datasets, evaluation frameworks, and
software reports
-- Discussion/position papers of the more provocative nature, open
problems and challenges

Please notice that we encourage prospective contributors to submit as
full papers as extended abstracts.

===============================================================
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
===============================================================
Full papers (up to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format) and extended
abstracts (up to 4 pages in Springer LNCS format) are invited. Papers in
PDF should be submitted to hacda...@gmail.com. Authors of the
accepted extended abstracts will be asked to submit a short paper (4 to
8 pages Springer LNCS format) that describes their research in more detail.

Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper.

Final versions of the accepted papers will be published in the informal
ECML/PKDD workshop proceedings and will be available on the workshop.
