Submissions must describe working systems and be based on state-of-the-art machine learning and data mining technology. These systems may be innovative prototype implementations or mature systems that use machine learning techniques and knowledge discovery processes in a real setting. Systems that use basic statistics are not acceptable. Commercial software systems are not acceptable.</div><div><br></div><div>The accepted papers for demos will be included in the conference proceedings, to be published by Springer Verlag in the "Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence" (LNAI) Series(<a href="http://www.springer.com/lncs">http://www.springer.com/lncs</a>). The demos will be presented in a special demonstration session. At least one of the demo submitters must register for the conference, and perform the demo on site.</div><div><br></div><div>### Submission Guidelines</div><div><br></div><div>All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled online via the conference CMT submission site(<a href="https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ECMLPKDD2017">https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ECMLPKDD2017</a>).</div><div><br></div><div>Please choose the right track during the submission. Instructions concerning the submission (except for the "reproducible research" part which is not relevant for a demo paper), camera-ready formatting and copyright transfer for conference papers also hold for demo papers, unless otherwise specified.</div><div><br></div><div>A demonstration submission must be up to 4 pages long. It must provide adequate information on the system's components and the way the system is operated, including e.g. screenshots.</div><div><br></div><div>Submitters should keep in mind that the description of a demo has inherently different content than a research paper submitted to the main conference. A successful demonstration paper provides satisfactory answers to the following questions:</div><div><br></div><div>* What are the innovative aspects or in what way/area does it represent the state of the art?</div><div>* Who are the target users and why is the system interesting/useful for them?</div><div>* If there are similar/related pieces of software, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the presented one?</div><div><br></div><div>The formatting guidelines of Springer Verlag for the LNAI series apply, and the author instructions and style files under <a href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html</a> must be used.
