Aims and Scope
The 25th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (IEEE ICDM
2025) 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’ own
previous work. In principle, the tutorial authors’ own 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.
Format of the Submission
A tutorial proposal should be formatted into the following
sections:
Title
Abstract (up to 150 words)
Rationale: Why do you believe this is an interesting and
significant subject for the data mining and machine learning
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
2025 (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 2025 (up to 100 words for each entry).
A list of tutorials on 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 30 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.
