For researchers from other disciplines, the Nectar Track offers a place to present their work to the ECML-PKDD community and to raise the community’s awareness of AI and data science results and open problems in their field. We invite senior and junior researchers to submit summaries of their own work published in various fields, including but not limited to artificial intelligence, generative AI, big data analytics, bioinformatics, cyber security, games, computational linguistics, natural language processing, large language models, information retrieval, computer vision and image analysis, geoinformatics, health informatics, database theory, human-computer interaction, ethical aspects of artificial intelligence, information and knowledge management, robotics, pattern recognition, statistics, social network analysis, theoretical computer science, uncertainty in AI, network science, complex systems science, and computationally oriented sociology, economy and biology, as well as critical data science/studies.
Acceptance criteria will also take into account the publication date (no more than 18 months old) and the quality of the conference venue or journal. The authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference and present their work. Accepted Nectar contributions will be presented as oral presentations but not included in the conference proceedings.
Key Dates and Deadlines ———————————— EXTENDED Submission Deadline: ***** JULY 7th, 2025 ***** Author Notification: July 21st, 2025
*All deadlines expire on 23:59 AoE (UTC – 12)
Submission Guidelines ———————————— Submission site: cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ECMLPKDD2025
Submissions must be extended abstracts of 2-4 pages (including references) and should be based on published work. The corresponding original publication(s) should be clearly indicated. The relevance of the work in the context of machine learning and data mining should be clearly motivated.

[rede.APPIA] DaSSWeb – Data Science and Statistics Webinar – 17 June – José Carlos Príncipe – Dynamics of Information in Deep Learning

DaSSWeb- Data Science and Statistics Webinar

Tuesday, 17 June, 14:30 (WEST)

 

Speaker

José Carlos Príncipe

Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering

University of Florida, USA

Title

Dynamics of Information in Deep Learning

 

Abstract

This talk presents an overview of how information theoretic (IT) concepts and algorithms can be applied to explain the mappings learned in machine learning. The first step is to select an approach to estimate directly from data entropy and mutual information because in machine learning the pdf of the data is normally unknown. Here we will show how Renyi’s entropy and mutual information can be estimated from the eigenspectrum of the Gram matrix of kernel learning. Here we will briefly explain how IT can be used to analyze the dynamics of learning and set up proper topologies in deep learning
