The 1st International Workshop on Utility-Driven Mining (Held in junction with KDD 2018), August 20, 2018, London, United Kingdom

Important Dates
⚫ Paper submission due: May 8, 2018
⚫ Notification to author: June 8, 2018
⚫ Camera ready due: June 22, 2018
*[23:59:59 Pacific Time]

===========================================================
Conference Scope
The workshop aims at bringing together academic and industrial researchers and practitioners from data mining, machine learning and other interdisciplinary communities, in the collaborative effort of identifying and discussing major technical challenges, recent results and potential topics on the emerging fields of Utility-Driven Mining. This workshop will focus on real world experiences, inherent challenges, as well as new research methods/applications desired.

===========================================================
Topics

The Utility-Driven Mining (UDM) workshop will discuss a broad variety of topics related to utility-driven mining, including (but not limited) the following:
⚫ Theory and core methods for utility mining and learning
⚫ Utility patterns mining in large datasets, e.g., high-utility itemset mining, high-utility sequential patterns/rules mining, high-utility episode mining, and other novel patterns
⚫ Analysis and learning of novel utility factors in mining and learning process
⚫ Predictive modeling/learning, clustering and link analysis that incorporate utility factors
⚫ Incremental utility mining and learning
⚫ Utility mining and learning in streams
⚫ Utility mining and learning in uncertain systems
⚫ Utility mining and learning in big data
⚫ Knowledge representations for utility patterns
⚫ Privacy preserving utility mining/learning
⚫ Visualization techniques for utility mining/learning
⚫ Open-source software/libraries/platform
⚫ Innovative applications in interdisciplinary domains, like finance, biomedicine, healthcare, manufacturing, e-commerce, social media, education, etc.
⚫ New, open, or unsolved problems in utility-driven mining.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version in a special issue of the International Journal of Data Science and Analytics (by Springer).

===========================================================
Paper Submission

All manuscripts should be submitted in a single PDF file within 9 pages, including all content, figures, tables, and references, following ACM cameraready templates available at: http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedingstemplate.

Papers will be evaluated based on similar evaluation criteria of the main KDD 2018 conference for research papers. In particular, papers must present original research that is not under consideration in other journals, conferences and workshops. The submission procedure will be announced at the workshop website.
