7th International Workshop & Tutorial on
Moreover, the number of machine learning applications and the volumes of data increase permanently. Nevertheless, the capacities of processing systems, human supervisors, or domain experts remain limited in real-world applications. Furthermore, many applications require an early availability of predictive models, which then have to be refined as the data volume increases. Due to these requirements, approaches that optimise the whole learning process are needed, including the interaction with human supervisors, processing systems, and data of various kinds and at different points in time: techniques for estimating the impact of additional resources (e.g.~data) on the learning progress; methods for the active selection of the information that is processed or queried; techniques for reusing knowledge across time, domains, or tasks, by identifying similarities and adaptation to changes between them; methods for making use of different types of information, such as labelled or unlabelled data, constraints, or domain knowledge. Such techniques are studied, for example, in the fields of adaptive, active, semi-supervised, and transfer learning -- mostly in separate lines of research. Combinations that are capable of operating under various constraints, and thereby address the inherent real-world challenges of volume, velocity, and variability of data and data mining systems, are rarely reported.
Therefore, this combination of a workshop and tutorial will continue to bring together researchers and practitioners from these different areas, thereby stimulating research in interactive and adaptive machine learning systems as a whole. The event continues a successful series of workshops and tutorials at ECML-PKDD 2017 in Skopje (Workshop \& Tutorial), IJCNN 2018 in Rio (Tutorial), ECML-PKDD 2018 in Dublin (Workshop), ECML-PKDD 2019 in Würzburg (Workshop \& Tutorial), ECML-PKDD 2020 (hosted in Ghent, online Workshop), ECML-PKDD 2021 (hosted in Bilbao, online Workshop), and ECML-PKDD 2022 in Grenoble (Workshop).
This workshop evolves around techniques and approaches for optimising the whole learning process, including the interaction with human supervisors, processing systems, and includes adaptive, active, semi-supervised, and transfer learning techniques, and combinations thereof in interactive and adaptive machine learning systems. Our objective is to bridge the communities researching and developing these techniques and systems in machine learning and data mining. Therefore, we welcome contributions that present a new problem setting, propose a novel approach, or report experience with the practical deployment of such a system and raise unsolved questions to the research community.
In particular, we welcome contributions that address aspects including, but not limited to:
8-16 pages (excluding references)
This track covers new innovative contributions in the area of interactive adaptive learning. If you have a new method already evaluated briefly, a new tool to simplify interaction or some new insights the community might benefit from, please submit a regular paper.
2-4 pages (excluding references)
This track is ideal to discuss new ideas in the area of interactive adaptive learning. We encourage you to submit open challenges in research or industrial applications to initiate a discussion and find colleagues to collaborate with.
All accepted papers will be published at ceur-ws.org (indexed by e.g. Google Scholar). Reviews are double-blind; papers must not include information that reveal the authors' identities.
All accepted papers are presented in spotlight talks and/or poster sessions. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered at ECML-PKDD.
