About the workshop
The generalization of digital technology has generated a huge amount of data, collected from various sources, and that can be spread out in different places.
Mining multiple sources of data to discover useful information is of critical importance for decision making. Indeed, these data sources can represent several dimensions or points of view about a phenomenon. However, how to efficiently mine quality information from multiple data sources is still a challenging task for current research, as in real world applications, data stored in multiple places by different, owned by different stakeholder, often conflict: data name, format, value or point of view may be different. Furthermore, data can be heterogeneous in their structure, sequential or not, …
The main objective of the 2nd International Workshop on Multi-Source Data Mining (MSDM) is to discuss promising and recent research, applicative problems and results behind current multi data source mining.
The success of the 1st edition of the Workshop has confirmed our wish to propose a 2nd edition. We thus invite you to participate in the 2nd edition of the International Workshop on Multi-Source Data Mining (MSDM), to be held during the IEEE International Conference on Data Mining – ICDM (https://icdm2021.auckland.ac.nz), 2021 in Auckland, New Zealand.
The workshop’s aim is to contribute to bringing together approaches defined or used, when data sources are multiple, possibly heterogeneous, represent multiple points of view, are possibly linked, even through time, including from the applicative point of view.
Topics of interest
- Algorithms and models for multi-source data mining
- Multi-relational data mining
- Heterogeneous data mining (including graph, structured/semi-structured data, text, spatio-temporal, time-series, streaming data)
- Multi-dimensional data mining
- Redescription mining
- Temporal multi-source mining
- Big data mining
- Practical applications of multi source data mining, including recommender systems.
Preliminary works and results are welcome, as well as position papers.
Submissions
Authors are encouraged to send their contribution, in line with the ICDM submissions, max 8 pages plus 2 extra pages in the IEEE 2-column format, including the bibliography and any possible appendices..
As in last years, papers that are not accepted by the main conference will be automatically sent to a workshop selected by the authors when the papers were submitted to the main conference.
Submissions longer than 10 pages will be rejected without review. All submissions will be peer reviewed by the Workshop Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to scope of the workshop, originality, significance, and clarity.
For paper submission, please proceed to the submission website.
