The ECML PKDD PhD Forum spans various topics of data mining and machine
learning, as well as work in related fields such as databases,
artificial intelligence, statistics, information retrieval, multimedia,
and the Web. Topics in specific domains, such as bioinformatics and
general science informatics are also encouraged. Participants with
interdisciplinary work across the areas are particularly welcome.
The submission requires a title, an author (authors) and an extended
abstract (up to 2000 characters, excluding spaces+ references), briefly
describing the work.
The extended abstract can be based either on:
1. A single paper (possibly but not necessarily accepted at the main
conference ) [a]
2. The whole doctoral dissertation, including planned work.
3. Work-in-progress papers: we welcome submissions from PhD students at
early and middle stages of their PhD work. As guideline, we recommend
that the submission is structured to explain 1) what the problem is, 2)
why it is important, 3) why existing solutions in literature are
insufficient, 4) how your approach works, and 5) optionally some
preliminary experiments.
* Additionally, we require a supporting letter/email from the student’s
supervisor sent to ecml-pkdd-2026-...@googlegroups.com .
The purpose is to obtain feedback regarding future plans and technical
feedback on the research topic and writing. Note:
* The main criteria for acceptance are 1) that the submission is clearly
structured and written in the English language and 2) that it is of
sufficient maturity to enable the audience of the PhD Forum to provide
constructive feedback.
* Extended abstracts will not be formally published. However, unless the
authors opt-out, they will be made publicly available through the
conference website.
* First authors must be PhD students 1-3 years into their PhD.
Co-authors may include the research advisors, committee members, and
other collaborators as needed.
* In case of acceptance, the work will be presented as a poster at the
PhD student forum. Also, the few researchers, based on reviewers’
recommendations, will be given the opportunity to provide a short
presentation (up to 10 min) followed by a Q&A.
* We will ask each PhD student to participate in the review process.
* In-person attendance is required for the PhD forum, i.e., no remote
attendance is possible. Accepted submissions whose authors cannot attend
in person will be removed from the final list.
Submission instructions
The papers must be written in English and formatted according to the
Springer LNAI guidelines. If you have a paper accepted at the main
conference or workshops, you may also submit the accepted PDF. Author
instructions and style files can be downloaded here. (link
