This year's conference is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Stuart Rubin, our Honorary General Chair. Dr. Rubin was among the warmest of personalities, and had been with IRI since day one. He will be missed, but not forgotten.

To honor Dr. Rubin, we organize a special track on "Symbolic AI and Heuristics for Data Science" during our conference. During the submission process, you can indicate if you would like to have your paper/poster considered for the special track. Judged by the PC members and co-chairs, accepted contributions to the "Symbolic AI and Heuristics for Data Science" theme will be organized in the special track at this year's IRI conference.

This conference presents excellent, novel, and contemporary papers covering all aspects of Data - including Scientific Theory and Technology-Based Applications. The IEEE IRI conference and its workshops serve as a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. Theoretical and applied papers are both welcome. The conference program will include several plenary speeches from academia, industry, and government as well as specialized workshops.

The conference includes, but is certainly not limited to:

  • Information Reuse
    • Data Science & Technologies - Heuristic Acquisition
    • Evolutionary Computing
    • Data & Knowledge Representation and Management
    • Data Visualization
    • Information Science & Theory
