Machine Learning Journal Special issue on Mining and Learning with
Graphs and Relations
Call for Papers:
Driven by application areas ranging from biology to the World Wide
Web, research in Data Mining and Machine Learning is nowadays
increasingly focusing on the analysis of structured data. Of
particular interest is data that consists of interrelated parts or
is characterized by collections of objects that are interrelated
and linked together into complex graphs and structures. Dealing
with such inter-related data is one of the major research
challenges that we are facing. The aim of this special issue is to
bring together papers from different sub-disciplines within Machine
Learning and Data Mining that focus on the analysis of structured
data. We invite high quality submissions from researchers in all
areas of machine learning and data mining working on "mining and
learning with graphs and relations", in particular but not limited
to, the following areas:
- Kernel Methods for Structured Data
- Statistical Relational Learning
- Probabilistic Inductive Logic Programming
- Probabilistic Models for Structured Data
- Graph Mining
- Multi-Relational Data Mining
- Methods for Structured Outputs
- Network Analysis
Application areas of interest are also diverse and include
(but not limited to):
- Web mining;
- Bioinformatics;
- Social networks analysis;
- Information retrieval;
- Natural language;
- Chemoinformatics;
- Robotics;
- Communication networks;
- Transportation networks.
Submission procedure:
Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality, original work
that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other
journals. Manuscripts should be submitted to: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/LMGSI
This online system offers easy and straightforward log-in and
submission procedures, and accepts pdf and doc file formats. It
also offers authors the ability to track the review process of
their manuscript. No special formatting is
necessary - should your paper be accepted for publication,
Springer's production team will convert your editable source files
to match the journal style.
