*Call for Tutorials*



*Important dates*

================

*All deadlines are at 11:59PM Pacific Daylight Time.*

·         Tutorial proposals due: July 15, 2018

·         Notification: August 17, 2018



The 18th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (IEEE ICDM 2018) will
host tutorials that focus on new research directions and initiatives.



We invite proposals for tutorials from active researchers and experienced
tutors. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research,
development and applications in a specific data mining direction, and
stimulate and facilitate future work. Tutorials on interdisciplinary
directions, novel and fast growing directions, and significant applications
are highly encouraged. We also encourage hands-on-tutorials that allow
attendees to learn a particular suite of tools, software and applications
that are relevant to the data mining community. Software and tools should
preferably be open-sourced and readily available to all participants.



We note that a tutorial should not only focus on the presenters’ previous
work. In principle, the tutorial authors’ previous work should not occupy
more than 50% of the tutorial coverage.



The tutorials are part of the main conference technical program, and are
free of charge to the registrants of the conference.



The conference will provide the following support for each tutorial: (1) an
honorarium of $500, and (2) a complimentary registration for one of the
tutorial presenters who is not also a presenting author.

Tutorial presenters will be responsible for covering all their other
expenses.




*Format of the Submission:*

==================================

A tutorial proposal should be formatted in the following sections:

·      Title

·         Abstract (up to 150 words)

·         Rationale: Why do you believe this is an interesting and
significant subject for the machine learning and data mining community at
large? Is this tutorial or a similar one presented by the same or some
authors in some other venues?

·         Content details: An outline of the tutorial in the form of a
bulleted list with references and estimates for the time that will be
devoted to each subject (up to 1 page).

·         Target audience and prerequisites (up to 100 words): From which
areas do you expect potential participants to come? What prior knowledge,
if any, do you expect from the audience? What will the participants learn?
How many participants do you expect?

·         Relevance and rationale of presenting the tutorial at ICDM 2018
(up to 200 words).

·         A list of forums and their time, location, and the number of
attendees (if available) if the tutorial or a similar/highly related
tutorial has been presented by the same author(s) before, and a short
description highlighting the similarity/difference between those and the
one proposed for ICDM 2018 (up to 100 words for each entry).

·         A list of tutorials on the similar/highly related topics given by
others, and a short description highlighting the differences between yours
and theirs (up to 100 words for each entry).

·         Tutor’s short bio and their expertise related to the tutorial (up
to 100 words per tutor).

·         Proposed length of the tutorial: please choose from: 2.5 hours
(half-day) and 5 hours (full day). If you are flexible, please indicate in
the outline the content that will not be included if a short tutorial is
given.

·         A list of up to 20 most important references that will be covered
in the tutorial.

·         (Optional) URLs of the slides/notes/video of the previous
tutorials given by the authors, and any specific audio/video/computer
requirements for the tutorial.
