Besides regular sessions consisting of presentations of selected peer-reviewed papers, the programme will feature invited talks, a poster session and a panel discussion in the closing session. We will lead an open discussion, in a workshop spirit, aimed to foresee the future of Machine Learning and data mining in general and to identify immediate opportunities for collaboration for researchers in Belgium and the Netherlands. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes:
SPECIAL TRACKSAs part of the main program, we organize three special tracks:IMPORTANT DATES
SUBMISSION PROCEDUREThe conference solicits regular contributions (5-10 pages) of original work and extended abstracts (2 pages max.) of original work or work that was recently accepted or published in a peer-reviewed machine-learning, data mining or other relevant journal or high level international conference. In the latter case, the publication reference should be clearly mentioned, and the abstracts should be checked mainly for relevance, rather than receive a full review. We explicitly invite different kinds of contributions, including technical contributions, visionary papers, case studies, demos, benchmark real and synthetic datasets. The program committee will decide which contributions are selected for an oral presentation, and which ones are presented during a poster session (with spotlight presentations). Preference of authors will be taken into account as well. If your submission falls under one of the special tracks, we encourage you to submit it there. All submissions must be in English and must be submitted as PDF files through the EasyChair submission page. Submissions should be formatted using the Benelearn 2017 LaTeX template. For detailed formatting instructions, please refer to the template files. The maximum abstract length is 2 pages (references not included). All accepted contributions will be published in the conference proceedings and publicly available on the Benelearn website, but no copyright will be claimed. At least one author of each accepted submission will be expected to attend and present their findings at the conference. The deadline for paper submission is March 27, 2017. ORGANIZATION
