Preface
The BIRS Workshop 15w2181 in Banff was dedicated to stimulating a cross-domain
integrativemachinelearningapproachandappraisalof“hottopics”towardtacklingthe
grand challenge of reaching a level of useful and useable computational intelligence
with a focus on real-world problems, such as in the health domain. This encompasses
learning from prior data, extracting and discovering knowledge, generalizing the
results, fighting the curse of dimensionality, and ultimately disentangling the under-
lyingexplanatoryfactorsincomplexdata,i.e.,tomakesenseofdatawithinthecontext
of the application domain.
The workshop particularly tried to contribute advancements in promising novel
areas as, e.g., at the intersection of machine learning and topological data analysis.
History has shown that most often the overlapping areas at intersections of seemingly
disparate fields are key for stimulation of new insights and further advances. This is
particularly true for the extremely broad field of machine learning.
Successful machine learningneedsa concerted effort, fostering integrative research
between experts ranging from diverse disciplines – from data science to data visual-
ization and always taking into account issues of privacy, data protection, safety, and
security. Tackling such complex research undertakings needs both disciplinary excel-
lence and cross-disciplinary networking without boundaries, and a cross-domain
integration of experts – like what the international HCI-KDD group is doing now for
many years. Consequently, we thank all our international colleagues who persistently
energize our activities and support our general motto: “Science is to test crazy ideas –
Engineering is to put these ideas into practice.”
