SDM25: Call for Papers

The SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM25) invites submissions of high-quality research papers that present original results on data mining algorithms and their applications. Data mining is a core process within computing and statistics, aimed at discovering valuable knowledge from data, with significant applications across various domains including science, engineering, healthcare, business, and medicine. SDM25 provides a venue for researchers to present their work in a peer-reviewed forum, network, and learn about cutting-edge research from outstanding invited speakers, attending presentations, tutorials, and a number of focused workshops.
