Scope

The 12th International Conference on Data Mining (DaMi 2026) is a premier global forum dedicated to advancing the science, engineering, and practice of data mining and knowledge discovery. As data continues to grow in scale, complexity, and diversity, DaMi 2026 brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry innovators to explore the latest breakthroughs in machine learning, generative AI, large scale analytics, graph intelligence, multimodal mining, and responsible data driven systems.

DaMi 2026 embraces the rapidly evolving landscape of data centric research, including foundation models, vector databases, streaming analytics, federated learning, data centric AI, and human in the loop discovery. The conference aims to foster collaboration between academia and industry, highlight emerging trends, and provide a platform for presenting cutting edge research that shapes the future of intelligent data systems.

Authors are invited to contribute high quality research papers that present original results, innovative methodologies, practical applications, survey studies, or real world industrial experiences in all areas of data mining and knowledge discovery.
