IDA 2025: Call for Papers (Regular Paper Track)

The Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA 2025) will take place from May 7-9, 2025, in Konstanz, Germany.

About IDA 2025

Advancing Intelligent Data Analysis requires novel, potentially game-changing ideas. IDA’s mission is to promote ideas over performance: a solid motivation can be as convincing as an exhaustive empirical evaluation. Therefore, IDA accepts inspiring papers for both presentation and publication. The IDA symposium is intentionally small-scale and single-track to create an open atmosphere that encourages discussion.

IDA awards the Frontier Prize every year, recognizing the most visionary contributions.
