We are pleased to announce the 13th International Conference on Data Science to (CODS 2025) be held in IISER Pune, India, on December 17-20, 2025 as a fully physical conference.
CODS (also known as CODS-COMAD between 2018 and 2024) is the premier data centric conference in India. The inaugural edition of CODS was held in Delhi in 2014. In 2018, the conference brought together - and continues to value and cherish, the name reversal notwithstanding - the Database community of the COMAD conference, which originated in 1989. The conference invites researchers in the field of data science, data management, data mining, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, as well as papers describing the design, implementation and results of solutions of such advances to real-world problems. This year we introduce a new track on AI for Science, with a starting focus on Life Sciences and Earth Sciences.
- CALL FOR PAPERS AND PROPOSALS -
RESEARCH TRACK
The research track invites archival and non-archival papers describing innovative and original research contributions in the areas of data science, data management, data mining, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, as well as papers describing the design, implementation and results of solutions of such advances to real-world problems. Papers can range from theoretical contributions to systems and algorithms to experimental research and benchmarking. Authors of all accepted papers (archival and non-archival) must present their work at the conference. For more details visit: https://ikdd.acm.org/cods-2025/call-for-research-track-papers.php
