The European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases 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. Encouraged are submissions of papers that describe the application of machine learning and data mining methods to real-world problems, particularly exploratory research that describes novel learning and mining tasks and applications requiring non-standard techniques. Submissions that demonstrate both theoretical and empirical rigor are especially encouraged.

A selection of papers will be directly published in the special journal issues “Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery” and in “Machine Learning Journal”. All other accepted submissions will be published in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series.
