In this age of big data, business organizations moving towards decision-making processes that are based on data-driven models. Knowledge Discovery (KD) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that aims to extract useful knowledge from complex or large volumes of data. Business Intelligence (BI) is an umbrella term that represents computer architectures, technologies and methods to enhance managerial decision-making. Both KD and BI are faced with new challenges, such as: Digital Transformation, Internet-of-Things, Industry 4.0, Smart Cities, Increasing dynamic and unstable real-world environments, explainable AI (XAI) and better support of informed decisions. Several AI techniques can be used to address these problems, such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, Data Mining/Data Science/Business Analytics, and Evolutionary Computation and Metaheuristics.
The aim of the KDBI session is to gather the latest research in KD and BI. In particular, papers that describe experience and lessons learned from KD/BI projects, presenting business or end user impacts using AI technologies, are welcome.
