Second International Workshop on Machine Learning for Cybersecurity (MLCS 2020)

Second International Workshop on Machine Learning for Cybersecurity (MLCS 2020) co-located with ECMLPKDD 2020 (http://mlcs.lasige.di.fc.ul.pt/) will be held in Ghent, Belgium, from September 14th to September 18th, 2020. Donato Malerba and Annalisa Appice are in the Organizing Committee of this event.

The last decade has been a critical one regarding cybersecurity, with studies estimating the cost of cybercrime to be up to 0.8 percent of the global GDP. The capability to detect, analyze, and defend against threats in (near) real-time conditions is not possible without employing machine learning techniques and big data infrastructure. This gives rise to cyberthreat intelligence and analytic solutions, such as (informed) machine learning on big data and open-source intelligence, to perceive, reason, learn, and act against cyber adversary techniques and actions. Moreover, organisations’ security analysts have to manage and protect systems and deal with the privacy and security of all personal and institutional data under their control. The aim of this workshop is to provide researchers with a forum to exchange and discuss scientific contributions, open challenges and recent achievements in machine learning and their role in the development of secure systems.

First International Workshop On Leveraging Machine Learning In Process Mining

First International Workshop On Leveraging Machine Learning In Process Mining (ML4PM) co-located with ICPM 2020 (http://ml4pm2020.di.unimi.it/) will be held in Wurzburg, Germany, on October 5th, 2020.

The interest in Machine Learning applications in Process Mining has seen increasing growth in the last few years along with the relevance of the ICPM conference. Thus, this workshop offers a focused environment to discuss new approaches, applications and their results to a wide audience, composed of researchers and practitioners. ML4PM will be held in Padua, in conjunction with the ICPM conference.

Discovery Science 2020

23rd International Conference on Discovery Science (DS-2020) (http://ds2020.csd.auth.gr/) will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece, during 19–21 October 2020.

The international conference on Discovery Science 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.

IRCDL 2020

16th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries (https://kdde.di.uniba.it/ircdl20/), 30-31 January 2020 – Bari, Italy

Since 2005, the Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries has served as an important national forum focused on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. IRCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term “digital libraries”, including new forms of information institutions; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. The conference…

ISMIS-DS 2018

The 24th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems (ISMIS 2018) and the 21st International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2018) will be held in Limassol, Cyprus, during 29–31 October 2018.

The 24th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems (ISMIS 2018) scope is intended to represent a wide range of topics on applying Artificial Intelligence techniques to areas as diverse as decision support, automated deduction, reasoning, knowledge based systems, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, planning, databases, information retrieval, etc. The focus is on research in intelligent systems. The conference addresses issues involving solutions to problems that are complex to be solved through conventional approaches and that require the simulation of intelligent thought processes, heuristics and applications of knowledge. The integration of these multiple approaches in solving complex problems is of particular importance. ISMIS provides a forum and a means for exchanging information for those interested purely in theory, those interested primarily in implementation, and those interested in specific research and industrial applications.

The 21st International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2018) provides an open forum for intensive discussions and exchange of new ideas among researchers working in the area of Discovery Science. The scope of the conference includes the development and analysis of methods for discovering scientific knowledge, coming from machine learning, data mining, intelligent data analysis, big data analysis as well as their application in various scientific domains.
