The 16th International Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications (ADMA) November 12-15, 2020 in Foshan, China https://adma2020.nuit.edu.cn/index.htm The year 2020 marks the 16th anniversary of the International Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications (ADMA 2020), which will be held in Foshan, China, November 12-15, 2020. It is our great pleasure to invite you to contribute papers and participate in this premier annual event on research and applications of data mining. Foshan is a modern city with long history and rich culture in Guangdong Province, China. Located in the Pearl River Delta area, Foshan has always been one of China’s most important cities of manufacture and international trade. Since Guangfo City Development Plan has been launched in 2009, Foshan has deepened the cooperation with Guangzhou city, developed a more convenient traffic system and promoted the science, industry as well as commerce to a new level. The conference aims at bringing together the experts on data mining from around the world, and providing a leading international forum for the dissemination of original research findings in data mining, spanning applications, algorithms, software and systems, as well as different applied disciplines with potential in data mining, such as smartphone and social network mining, bio-medical science and green computing. ADMA 2020 will promote the same close interaction and collaboration among practitioners and researchers. Published papers will go through a full peer review process. We invite authors to submit papers on topics of data mining and applications, including but not limited to: Data Mining Theory: + Data mining foundations; + Grand challenges of data mining; + Parallel and distributed data mining algorithms; + Mining on data streams; + Graph mining; + Spatial data mining; + Text, video, multimedia data mining; + Web mining; High performance data mining algorithms; + Correlation mining; + Benchmarking and evaluations; + Interactive data mining; + Data-mining-ready structures and pre-processing; + Data mining visualization; + Information hiding in data mining; + Security and privacy issues; + Competitive analysis of mining algorithms; + Internet of Things mining; + Personalization and recommendation systems; + Deep Learning with small samples of Web Data; Data Mining Applications: + Big data; + Web of Things; + Grid computing; + DNA sequencing, genomics, and biometrics; + Image interpretations; + E-commerce and Web services; + Health informatics; + Disaster prediction; + Remote monitoring; + Financial market analysis; + Online filtering; + Application of Data Mining in Education; + Social network data mining; + Smartphone data mining; + Database administration, indexing, performance tuning; + Green computing data mining; + Smart Nation applications; + Crowdsourcing. === Submission of Papers Paper submission will be through the easychair website.
