***********************************************************


One of the fundamental goals in computational intelligence is to achieve
brain-like intelligence, a remarkable property of which is the ability to
incrementally learn from noisy and incomplete data, and ability to adapt to
changing environments. The special session aims at presenting novel
approaches to incremental learning and adaptation to dynamic environments
both from the more traditional and theoretical perspective of computational
intelligence and from the more practical and application-oriented one.


This Special Session aspires at building a bridge between academic and
industrial research, providing a forum for researchers in this area to
exchange new ideas with each other, as well as with the rest of the neural
network & computational intelligence community.


**Topics**

Papers must present original work or review the state-of-the-art in the
following non-exhaustive list of topics:

• Methodologies, algorithms and techniques
for learning in dynamic/non-stationary environments

• Incremental learning, lifelong learning, cumulative learning

• Domain adaptation and dataset-shift, covariate-shift adaptation

• Semi-supervised learning methods for handling concept-drift

• Ensemble methods for learning under concept drift

• Learning under concept drift and class unbalance

• Change-detection tests and anomaly-detection algorithms

• Algorithms for information mining in nonstationary datastreams

• Applications that call for learning in dynamic/non-stationary
environments, and for incremental learning, such as:

   o Adaptive classifiers for concept drift and recurring concepts

   o Intelligent systems operating in dynamic/non-stationary environments

   o Intelligent embedded and cyber-physical systems

• Applications that call for change and anomaly detection, such as:

   o fault detection

   o fraud detection

   o network-intrusion detection and security

   o intelligent sensor networks

• Cognitive-inspired approaches to adaptation and learning

• Development of test-sets benchmarks for evaluating algorithms learning in
non-stationary/dynamic environments

• Issues relevant to above mentioned or related fields


**Keywords**

Concept drift, nonstationary environment, change/anomaly
detection, domain adaptation, incremental learning, data streams.



**Paper Submission**

THE DEADLINE FOR THE PAPER SUBMISSION TO THE SPECIAL SESSION IS THE SAME OF
IEEE WCCI 2016, and have been *extended to January 31st, 2016, 24:00
EST (FINAL)*

All the submissions will be peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for
other contributed papers.

Perspective authors will submit their papers through the IEEE IJCNN/WCCI
2016 conference submission system at http://www.wcci2016.org/

Please make sure to select the Special Session nr 26
"Concept Drift, Domain Adaptation & Learning in Dynamic Environments" from
the "S. SPECIAL SESSION TOPICS" name in the "Main Research topic" dropdown
list;

Templates and instruction for authors will be provided on the IEEE
IJCNN/WCCI webpagehttp://www.wcci2016.org/

All papers submitted to the special sessions will be subject to the same
peer-review procedure as regular papers, accepted papers will be published
in the conference proceedings.
