-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - Informs Workshop on Data Science (DS2017) Datum: Thu, 18 May 2017 15:29:55 +0000 Von: Zheng, Zhiqiang ericz@utdallas.edu An: 'aisworld@lists.aisnet.org' aisworld@lists.aisnet.org
You are cordially invited to submit a paper to the first Informs Workshop on Data Science (DS2017) http://meetings2.informs.org/wordpress/houston2017/conference-on-data-scienc....
The deadline for submission is June 20, 2017, one month away. DS2017 is a pre-conference of the annual INFORMS meeting and is to be held on October 21, 2017 in Houston, Texas. The CFP is available at http://2017.dsconf.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/01/INFORMS-Workshop-....
The Informs Workshop on Data Science is a premier research conference dedicated to developing novel data science theories, algorithms, and methods to solve challenging and practical problems that benefit business and society at large. The workshop invites innovative data science research contributions that address business and societal challenges from the lens of statistical learning, data mining, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The workshop invites original research addressing challenges ranging from marketing and finance problems to problems in health care, energy, cybersecurity, fraud detection, social network services, talent analytics, privacy, credibility, etc. Contributions on novel methods may be motivated by insightful observations on the shortcomings of state-of-the art data science methods in addressing practical challenges, or may propose entirely novel data science problems. Research contributions on theoretical and methodological foundations of data scien ce, such as optimization for machine learning and new algorithms for data mining, are also welcome.
Research contributions may include:
* Novel predictive modeling approaches
* Novel performance measures of data science methods that account for important
* practical implications
* Data science methods for health care: chronic disease management, preventative care, etc.
* Prediction of rare events and anomaly detection
* Methods for induction and inference with missing values
* Data science for industrial applications: energy, education, finance, supply chain, ecommerce, etc.
* Data-driven methods for effective risk management
* Data-driven methods for cyber security
* Data acquisition, integration, cleaning, and best practices
* Visualization analytics for business data
* Novel methods for social network analysis
* Mobile analytics
* Large-scale recommendation systems and social media systems
* Novel methods for text analytics and natural language processing
* Experiences with big data project deployments
* Deep learning and AI business applications
