MLDM'2017
Comments to MLDM 2017, New York, USA
July 24th, 2017 The MLDM2017 is over now. It was a great success. People from 24 different countries contributed to the conference and presented their brand-new research results. The acceptance rate for the papers were 33 percent. The presentations of the work were impressive and the audience contributed a lot with very profound questions and remarks. The conference was very inspiring to the authors and participants and we hope you are coming back with your new work on the respective topics or you now start your own research on data mining and machine learning. People enjoyed talking and discussing topics during the breaks with each other and a lot of new groundbreaking topics were raised during that discussions. It was a very inspiring and encouraging work atmosphere during the conference that people enjoyed very much.
The tutorials were another inspiring occasion that have been taken by a large number of people. We recognized a tremendous increase of interest in the topics. That shows us that we have made further success in bringing these topics to the attention of researchers and practicioner. The participants have got a profound introduction into the area as well as a deep understanding of the different data mining techniques. Inspiring were also the lessons learnt from the different application areas that brought to the mind of the people what is necessary when doing data mining and knowledge discovery or case-based reasoning. The tutorial Intelligent image processing gave a deep insight in the different new methods that allow built real models for image processing, analysis and understanding. The tutorial Standardization showed once more how important it is to have automatic systems to come up with a good quality of the results.
The banquet was another occasion to meet people, get to know each other, chat around, get to know what are the news at the different places in the world, and exchange ideas in a more relaxed athomphere where you could enjoy real american hospitality and food.
The proceedings have been published by Springer and can be found under Machine Learning and Data Mining in Pattern Recognition, 13th International Conference, MLDM 2017, New York, NY, USA, July 15-20, 2017, Proceedings Editors: Perner, Petra (Ed.) http://www.springer.com/jp/book/9783319624150.
There will be a special issue of selected papers after the conference in each of the International Journals Transaction of Machine Learning and Data Mining, Transaction of Case-Based Reasoning, and Transaction of Mass Data Analysis of Signals and Images (www.ibai-publishing.org).
New York as well was a very inspiring place and people took the freedom to enjoyed seeing the city and its attraction as well as the surrounding cities of New York and their attractions after the conference.
