***********************************************************

One of the fundamental goals in computational intelligence is to achieve brain-like intelligence, a remarkable property of which is the ability to incrementally learn from noisy and incomplete data and to adapt to changing environments. 

The special session aims at presenting novel approaches to incremental learning and adaptation to dynamic environments both from the theoretical perspective of machine learning and from the application-oriented view of computational intelligence techniques.

*Topics*

Papers must present original work or review the state-of-the-art in the following non-exhaustive list of topics: 

•     Architectures, techniques and algorithms for learning in non-stationary/dynamic environments

•     Domain adaptation, dataset shift, covariance shift

•     Incremental learning, lifelong learning, cumulative learning

•     Change-detection tests and anomaly-detection algorithms

•     Mining from streams of data

•     Applications that call for incremental learning or learning in non-stationary/dynamic environments, such as:

      o  Adaptive classifiers for concept drift and recurring concepts

      o  Intelligent systems operating in non-stationary/dynamic environments

      o  Intelligent embedded and cyber-physical systems

•     Applications that call for change and anomaly detection, such as:

      o  fault detection

      o  fraud detection

      o  network intrusion and security

      o  intelligent sensor networks

•     Cognitive-inspired approaches to adaptation and learning

•     Development of test-sets benchmarks for evaluating algorithms learning in non-stationary/dynamic environments

•     Issues relevant to above mentioned or related fields 

*Keywords*

Concept drift, nonstationary environment, change/anomaly detection, domain adaptation, incremental learning, data streams.
