Call for Papers

We invite researchers, practitioners, and domain experts to submit their work to the HuMINE: Human-Centered Data Mining Workshop, part of ECML-PKDD 2025. This workshop aims to advance the understanding and development of human-in-the-loop systems in data mining, fostering collaboration across fields like interpretable machine learning, interactive data visualization, human-computer interaction, and cognitive science.

Important Dates

• Submission Deadline: 14/06/2025

• Notification of Acceptance: 14/07/2025

• Camera-ready Deadline: 01/09/2025

Topics of Interest

We welcome contributions that address (but are not limited to):

• Methodologies for human-centered data mining, including human-guided data mining algorithms, interactive data visualization methods, and innovations about interpretable machine learning and human-computer interactions useful for human-centered data mining. 

• Innovations in modelling user goals and feedback for interactive data mining, human-in-the-loop machine learning, and interactive data visualization.

• Case studies demonstrating real-world applications of human-centered data mining in general, and/or revealing concrete technical research questions inspired by real-world challenges of human guidance and/or situation-specificness.

• Evaluation metrics and frameworks for human-in-the-loop systems.

• Benchmark datasets and tools tailored for human-guided approaches.

• Surveys or position papers on the challenges and future directions in the field.

Submission Guidelines

We welcome the following submission types:

• Abstracts (1 page) of previously published work or of use cases that require human-guided data mining. 

• Short papers (4–8 pages) reporting methodological advances, evaluations, or novel applications, or ongoing projects with preliminary research results within these topics. 

• Long papers (12–16 pages) Research Papers about methodological advances, evaluations, or novel applications, and Position Papers / Surveys exploring conceptual frameworks, challenges, or trends in human-in-the-loop systems.

All pages limits are excluding references and supplementary materials.

Submissions should follow the ECML-PKDD formatting guidelines: papers must be written in English and formatted in LaTeX, following the outline of our author kit Springer LNCS Template Download. All submissions should be made in PDF via Microsoft CMT, selecting the "Human-Centered Data Mining Workshop (HuMine 2025)" track (see below for a demo).

Submissions may be accepted for oral and/or poster presentation during the workshop. All accepted papers will be made publicly available on the workshop website. The authors can later decide if they would like the accepted papers to be included in the joint workshop proceedings organized by ECML-PKDD (published by Springer).

For inquiries, please contact HuMine2025@gmail.com. We look forward to your submissions and to advancing the field of human-centered data mining together!
