5th Intl. Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis

Call for Papers

5th International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis

Berlin, Germany

August 28-30, 2003


IDA-2003 will take place in Berlin August 28-30, 2003, and is organized by the
Free University of Berlin and the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg. It
will consist of a stimulating program of invited talks by leading international
experts in intelligent data analysis, tutorials, contributed papers, poster 
sessions,
and an exciting social program (including a conference banquet on top of
the Reichstag!).

Our aim for the biannual IDA symposia is to bring together a wide variety of
researchers - academic, industrial, and otherwise - who are concerned with
extracting knowledge from data, including people from statistics, machine
learning, neural networks, computer science, pattern recognition, database
management, and other areas. IDA-2003 is intended to stimulate interaction
between these different areas, so that more powerful tools emerge for extracting
knowledge from data and a better understanding is developed of the process
of intelligent data analysis.

This is the fifth Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis after the successful
symposia IDA-2001 (Lisboa), IDA-99 (Amsterdam), IDA-97 (London), and IDA-
95 (Baden-Baden).

Topics of interest: The following topics are of particular interest.

- Applications & Tools: analysis of different kinds of data (e.g., censored, 
temporal
etc.), applications (e.g., commerce, engineering, finance, legal, manufacturing,
medicine, public policy, science), assistants, intelligent agents for
data analysis evaluation of IDA systems, human-computer interaction in IDA,
IDA systems and tools, information extraction, information retrieval

- Theory & General Principles: analysis of IDA algorithms, classification, 
projection,
regression, optimization clustering, data cleaning, data pre-processing,
experiment design, model specification, selection, estimation, reasoning under
uncertainty, search, statistical strategy, uncertainty and noise in data

- Algorithms & Techniques: Bayesian inference and influence diagrams, bootstrap
and randomization, causal modeling, data mining, decision analysis,
exploratory data analysis, automated data analysis, fuzzy, neural and 
evolutionary
approaches, knowledge-based analysis, machine learning, statistical
pattern recognition, visualization

Submissions: 
Participants who wish to present a paper are requested to submit
a manuscript, not exceeding 10 single-spaced pages. Details about the
submission format (as well as LaTeX style files) can be found on the IDA-2003
web page. For the review process and the final paper electronic submissions in
Postscript or PDF format are required. The manuscript should be submitted via
the conference web site (http://ida2003.org).

Important Dates: 
March 31, 2003 Deadline for submitting papers
May 12, 2003 Notification of acceptance
June 6, 2003 Deadline for submission of final papers

Publications:
All accepted and presented contributions will appear in the conference
proceedings, to be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series of Springer (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/). The proceedings of
IDA 97, 99 and 01 appeared in this series as LNCS 1280, 1642 and 2189. We
also plan to have a special issue of the Intelligent Data Analysis journal with
extended versions of a number of papers presented during the symposium.
