Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge
Discovery in Databases (ECMLPKDD) provides an international forum for the
discussion of the latest high-quality research results in all areas related to
machine learning and knowledge discovery in databases and related application
domains.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal of the Nectar
Track, started in 2012, is to offer conference attendees a compact overview of
recent scientific advances at the frontier of machine learning and data mining
with other disciplines, as published in related conferences and journals. For
researchers from the other disciplines, the Nectar Track offers a place to
present their work to the ECMLPKDD community and to raise the community's
awareness of data analysis results and open problems in their field. We invite
senior and junior researchers to submit summaries of their own work published
in neighbouring fields, such as (but not limited to) artificial intelligence,
big data analytics, bioinformatics, cyber security, games, computational
linguistics, natural language processing, <span style="font-family:"times new roman",serif">information retrieval, </span>computer vision<span style="font-family:"times new roman",serif"> </span>and
image analysis, geoinformatics, health informatics, database theory, human
computer interaction, information and knowledge management, robotics, pattern
recognition, statistics, social network analysis, theoretical computer science,
uncertainty in AI, network science, complex systems science, and
computationally oriented sociology, economy and biology, as well as critical
data science/studies.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Particularly welcome
is work that summarizes a line of work that comprises older and more recent
papers. The described work should be relevant to a broad audience within
ECMLPKDD, and (a) illustrate the pervasiveness of data-driven exploration and
modelling in science, technology, and the public, as well as innovative
applications, and/or (b) focus on theoretical results.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"times new roman",serif"><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Note that papers
focusing only on software implementations rather than on the interdisciplinary
use of ML/DM should rather be submitted to the demo track. Work at the core of
ML/DM should target the main tracks of ECMLPKDD rather than the Nectar Track.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Submission guidelines<b><span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Papers must be 4 pages
and should be formatted according to the Author instructions, style files and
copyright form that can be found at <a href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html</a>.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Submissions must
clearly indicate which corresponding original publication(s) are presented, and
must clearly motivate the relevance of the work in the context of machine
learning and data mining. Papers should be submitted through the <a href="https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ECMLPKDD2017/">conference CMT
submission system</a> (select from the menu the Nectar track). Accepted
Nectar contributions will be presented as oral presentations and included in
the conference proceedings.<span></span></p>
