KDMiLe 2025

The Symposium on Knowledge Discovery, Mining and Learning (KDMiLe) aims at integrating researchers, practitioners, developers, students, and users to present their research results, discuss ideas, and exchange techniques, tools, and practical experiences – related to the Data Mining and Machine Learning areas. 
KDMiLe originated from WAAMD (Workshop em Algoritmos e Aplicações de Mineração de Dados) that occurred during five years – 2005 to 2009 – as a Workshop of the Brazilian Symposium on Databases (SBBD). Since 2013, KDMiLe has been organized alternatively in conjunction with the Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS) and the Brazilian Symposium on Databases (SBBD).

This year, 2025, in its thirteenth edition, KDMiLe will be held in Fortaleza, Ceará, from September 29 to October 2, in conjunction with the Brazilian Symposium on Databases (SBBD) and the Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS). This year KDMiLe is being organized by Federal University of Ceará.

Title

From Traditional AI to General Purpose Artificial Intelligence Systems: A Journey Towards Open-World Intelligence

Abstract

Most applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are designed for a confined and specific task. However, there are many scenarios that call for a more general AI, capable of solving a wide array of tasks without being specifically designed for them. The term General Purpose Artificial Intelligence Systems (GPAIS) has been defined to refer to these AI systems. To date, the possibility of an Artificial General Intelligence, powerful enough to perform any intellectual task as if it were human, or even improve it, has remained an aspiration, fiction, and considered a risk for our society. Whilst we might still be far from achieving that, GPAIS is a reality and sitting at the forefront of AI research.
In this talk, I will present a definition for GPAIS that allows for a gradual differentiation among types of GPAIS according to their properties and limitations. We will distinguish between closed-world and open-world GPAIS, characterising their degree of autonomy and ability based on several factors such as adaptation to new tasks, competence in domains not intentionally trained for, ability to learn from few data, or proactive acknowledgement of their own limitations. To walk you through the transition from traditional AI to GPAIS, I will start off talking about some interdisciplinary projects I have worked on, including big data applications in collaboration with industry partners such as Unilever and E.ON, spanning sectors like energy, transportation, and healthcare. I will then shift focus to my latest research on generalisable models that may help accelerate AI adoption. Finally, I will emphasise the critical need for responsible and trustworthy AI development as we navigate this evolving landscape.

IMPORTANT DATES

  • Submission deadline: May 30th, 2025 June 15th, 2025
  • Notification to authors: July 7th, 2025 July 23th, 2025
  • Camera-ready version: July 14th, 2025 July 30th, 2025

SUBMISSION & PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

  • Papers may be written in Portuguese or English, but the title, the abstract, and the keywords must be written in English.
  • Submissions are reviewed following a single blind review process, i.e., you do not need to hide authors’ names and affiliations.
  • The manuscript must not exceed 8 pages. Papers exceeding this limit will be automatically rejected without being reviewed by the Program Committee.
  • Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Formats other than PDF will NOT be accepted.
  • Latex template available here.
  • Papers must be submitted through JEMS.

Papers submitted to KDMiLe must not have been simultaneously submitted to any other forum (conference or journal), nor should they have already been published elsewhere. The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of its authors will register for the symposium to present it.

Submitted papers will be reviewed based on originality, relevance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. Accepted papers will be published electronically in the KDMiLe proceedings. 

In all past editions, authors of selected papers accepted for presentation in KDMiLe have been invited to submit extended and revised versions of these papers to a special issue of JIDM (Journal of Information and Database Management). This year, we intend to follow this same policy of encouraging the best submissions with publication in an international journal.
