We are facing a flood of big data – most of it “unstructured” or weakly structured.

One of the grand challenges in our networked world are the large, complex, and often weakly structured data sets. These increasingly monstrous amounts of data require new, efficient and user-friendly solutions for knowledge discovery. This challenge is most evident in the biomedical domain: the trend towards personalized medicine has resulted in an explosion in the amount of generated biomedical data.

The ultimate goal of the task force HCI-KDD is to combine the best of two worlds: Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), with emphasis on human intelligence, and Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD), dealing with computational intelligence.

The cross-domain integration and appraisal of different fields provide an atmosphere to foster different perspectives and opinions; it will offer a platform for novel ideas and a fresh look on the methodologies to put these ideas into Business.

This special session is organized in the context of the CD-ARES 2013, September, 2-6, 2013, Regensburg, Germany. CD stands for Cross-Domain. The mission is to bring together researchers from diverse areas in an highly inter-disciplinary manner, to stimulate fresh ideas and encourage multi-disciplinary work.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by Springer as a volume of the series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Please submit via the confdriver system (paper length between 6 and max. 16 pages, but ensure even page numbers: 6,8, … , 14,16). It is planned to select candidates of best papers to submit a paper for a special issue in BMC Bioinformatics. Some hot topics include but are not limited to …

  • Graph-based Knowledge Discovery (e.g. Knowledge Discovery with graph entropy, biological networks, etc.)
  • Structural Graph Analysis (e.g. in Biology, Systems Biology, Medicine and Image Analysis, etc.)
  • Methods for Structural Network Analysis (e.g. graph measures and properties thereof, information-theoretic techniques such as entropy, etc.)
  • Knowledge Discovery from complex networks (e.g. large social networks, large biomedical data, protein-protein networks, epigenetics data etc.)
  • Interactive Content Analytics from “unstructured” text data (e.g. computational topology in text mining, text analytics, NLP, linguistics etc.)
  • Big Data Analytics methodologies, methods, approaches and tools (e.g. Hadoop, R, RStudio, Rapid Miner, KNIME, ELKI, etc. )
  • Multimedia Data Mining & Knowledge Discovery from multimedia data (e.g from the biomedical informatics domain etc.)
  • Swarm Intelligence (collective intelligence, crowdsourcing) and collaborative Knowledge Discovery/Data Mining/Decision Making
  • Intelligent, interactive, semi-automatic, multivariate Information Visualization and Visual Analytics (e.g. in the life sciences etc.)
  • Interactive multimedia Data Exploration and Sensemaking from large amounts of biomedical data (e.g. Omics data etc.)
  • Time-Oriented Data and Information (e.g. longitudinal data, complex noisy time series, entropy methods, …)
  • Novel Search User Interaction Techniques (supporting human intelligence with computational intelligence)
  • Future Knowledge Discovery Techniques (Note: science fiction of today is science fact of tomorrow)
  • Modeling of Human Discovery and exploration Behavior and Understanding Human Information Needs
  • Knowledge Discovery methods and methodologies (e.g. Support Vector Machines, Boltzmann machines, Evolutionary computing …)
  • Topological Data Analyis (e.g. in images, biomed data, medical diagnostics, clinical assessment, …)
  • Special HCI-KDD solutions in the biomedical domain (e.g. bioinformatics, genome analysis, genetics, epigentics, evolution, …)
  • Practical HCI-KDD solutions in the hospital (e.g. content analytics in business enterprise hospital data, …)
    We are looking forward to your submission.
