Call For Papers

The European Conference on "Machine Learning" and "Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases" provides an international forum for the discussion of the latest high quality research results in all areas related to machine learning and knowledge discovery in databases and other innovative application domains.

We invite submissions on all aspects of machine learning, knowledge discovery and data mining. We especially encourage submissions of papers that describe the application of machine learning and data mining methods to real-world problems, and highlight new research challenges in new domains such as the web, medicine, biology, neuroscience, engineering, government fields. Submissions that demonstrate both theoretical and empirical rigor are also highly encouraged.

Proceedings and Special Journal Issues

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag ("Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series").
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit a significantly extended version of their paper to two post-conference special issues of the Springer Verlag journals "Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery" and "Machine Learning".

Submissions

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled online via the Microsoft CMT.

The papers must be written in English and formatted according to the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence guidelines. Authors instructions and style files can be downloaded at:
https://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
The maximum length of papers is 16 pages in this format.

Papers submitted should report original work; ECML PKDD 2011 will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review or has already been accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. Authors are also expected not to submit their papers elsewhere during the review period.

Papers submitted to ECML PKDD 2011 will normally be reviewed by minimum of two referees. The review process will be double blind. Student submissions should be clearly indicated on the submission form.
