Discovery Science 2018 is held in conjunction with ISMIS 2018
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.
We welcome papers that focus on the analysis of different types of massive and complex data, including structured, spatio-temporal and network data. We particularly welcome papers addressing applications. Finally, we would like to encourage contributions from the areas of computational scientific discovery, mining scientific data, computational creativity and discovery informatics.
DS-2018 will be co-located with ISMIS 2018 (http://cyprusconferences.org/ismis2018/), the 24th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems. The two conferences will be held in parallel, and will share their invited talks.
Traditionally, the proceedings of DS series appear in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series by Springer-Verlag. Selected papers will be invited for a submission to a special issue in Machine Learning journal.
Submission Topics
We invite submissions of research papers addressing all aspects of discovery science. We particularly welcome contributions that discuss the application of data analysis, data mining and other support techniques for scientific discovery including, but not limited to, biomedical, astronomical and other physics domains. Applications to massive, heterogeneous, continuous or imprecise data sets are of particular interests.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Knowledge discovery, machine learning and statistical methods
- Ubiquitous knowledge discovery
- Data streams, evolving data and models
- Change detection and model maintenance
- Active knowledge discovery
- Learning from text and web mining
- Information extraction from scientific literature
- Knowledge discovery from heterogeneous, unstructured and multimedia data
- Knowledge discovery in network and link data
- Knowledge discovery in social networks
- Data and knowledge visualization
- Spatial/temporal Data
- Mining graphs and structured data
- Planning to learn
- Knowledge transfer
- Computational creativity
- Human-machine interaction for knowledge discovery and management
- Biomedical knowledge discovery and analysis
- Machine learning for high-performance computing, grid and cloud computing
- Applications of the above techniques to natural or social sciences
Venue, City, Country
St. Raphael Resort
The St. Raphael Resort is located on one of the most renowned and largest beaches in Limassol, only a short coastal drive from the lively centre of town, approximately 10 minutes away. The Larnaca International Airport is 35 minutes away, and Paphos International Airport is 55 minutes away. There are shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance and a bus stop exactly outside the hotel.
Limassol
Limassol, a city counting centuries of history, is located between two of the most renowned ancient kingdoms of the island, Amathous at the east and Kourion at the west. "Lemessos" as it is called by locals, is the second largest urban area in Cyprus (after the capital, Nicosia) and its municipality is the most populous in the country with 235,0oo inhabitants (2011 Census).
Cyprus
Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean, after Sicily and Sardinia, with an area of 9.251 sq. kms (3.572 sq. miles).
It is situated at the north-eastern corner of the Mediterranean, at a distance of 300 km north of Egypt. The Greek island of Rhodes lies 360 km to the north-west.
