SCOPE

Transfer Learning (TL) has attracted growing attention in the last two decades. It has been successfully applied to many applications, including text mining, video event recognition, sensor-based prediction problems, software engineering, image categorization and so forth. With the advance of data storage and Internet technology, data becomes more massive, noisier and more complex, which also brings good opportunities and challenges for TL, i.e., how to make practical use of massive data and how to effectively deal with data from different domains need to be addressed in this era of big data. The main purpose of this workshop is to document recent progress of transfer learning in different real-world applications and also to stimulate discussion about potential challenges that may open new directions of TL. We appreciate not only the manuscripts that dedicate to solve traditional transfer learning problems, but also those which aim to discuss the approaches and/or theories for handling the new TL issues when exploiting massive data of different formats or structures.

TOPICS

Manuscripts are solicited to address a wide range of topics including the traditional transfer learning topics, as well as topics related to practical transfer learning. The list of topics below are for the reference of authors, however, the submissions are not restricted to the traditional transfer learning topics and the topics listed below:

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline: Jul 20, 2015 Aug 3, 2015 (23:59 Pacific Time)
Acceptance notification: Sep 1, 2015

SUBMISSION

Paper submissions are limited to a maximum of 10 pages in the IEEE 2-column format and will follow the guidelines for ICDM’15 submission. All papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee based on technical quality, relevance to workshop theme, originality, significance, and clarity. A double blind reviewing process will be adopted. Authors should therefore avoid using identifying information in the text of the paper.
