ECML/PKDD Workshop on Privacy and Security issues in Data Mining and
Machine Learning (PSDML 2010)

Barcelona, Spain, September 24, 2010.
Submission deadline: 28 June 2010.

 http://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/~dimitrakakis/workshops/psdml-2010/

The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists and
practitioners who conduct cutting edge research on privacy and
security issues in data mining and machine learning to discuss the
most recent advances in these research areas, identify open problem
domains and research directions, and propose possible solutions. We
invite interdisciplinary research on cryptography, data mining, game
theory, machine learning, privacy, security and statistics. Moreover,
we invite mature contributions as well as interesting preliminary
results and descriptions of open problems on emerging research domains
and applications of privacy and security in data mining and machine
learning.

***** Core themes and topics of interest *****

The workshop invites original submissions in any of the following core
subjects. For each subject we provide an indicative list of topics of interest.
   A. Data privacy and security issues.
         1. Privacy-preserving data publishing and anonymity.
         2. Privacy-aware data fusion, integration and record linkage.
         3. Privacy evaluation techniques and metrics.
         4. Auditing and query execution over private data.
         5. Privacy-aware access control.
   B. Theoretical aspects of machine learning for security applications.
         1. Adversarial classification, learning and hypothesis testing.
         2. Learning in unknown and/or partially observable stochastic games.
         3. Special learning problems in security applications (i.e.
            learning with distribution shifts, semi supervised
            learning, learning in large datasets).
         4. Distributed inference and decision making for security.

            learning (e.g., stream mining, social network analysis,
            graph analysis).
         2. Application-specific privacy preserving data mining and
            machine learning.
