Aims and Scope
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discovery Science 2023 conference provides an open forum for
intensive discussions and exchange of new ideas among researchers
working in the area of Discovery Science. The conference focus is on the
use of artificial intelligence methods in science. Its scope includes
the development and analysis of methods for discovering scientific
knowledge, coming from machine learning, data mining, intelligent data
analysis, and big data analytics, as well as their application in
various domains.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
-Artificial intelligence (machine learning, knowledge representation
and reasoning, natural language processing, statistical methods, etc.)
applied to science
-Machine learning: supervised learning (including ranking,
multi-target prediction and structured prediction), unsupervised
learning, semi-supervised learning, active learning, reinforcement
learning, online learning, transfer learning, etc.
-Knowledge discovery and data mining
-Causal modeling
-AutoML, meta-learning, planning to learn
-Machine learning and high-performance computing, grid and cloud computing
-Literature-based discovery
-Ontologies for science, including the representation and annotation of datasets and domain knowledge
-Explainable AI, interpretability of machine learning and deep learning models
-Process discovery and analysis
-Computational creativity
-Anomaly detection and outlier detection
-Data streams, evolving data, change detection, concept drift, model maintenance
-Network analysis
-Time-series analysis
-Learning from complex data
-Graphs, networks, linked and relational data
-Spatial, temporal and spatiotemporal data
-Unstructured data, including textual and web data
-Multimedia data
-Data and knowledge visualization
-Human-machine interaction for knowledge discovery and management
-Evaluation of models and predictions in discovery setting
-Machine learning and cybersecurity
-Applications of the above techniques in scientific domains, such as
-Physical sciences (e.g., materials sciences, particle physics)
-Life sciences (e.g., systems biology/systems medicine)
-Environmental sciences
-Natural and social sciences
