Call for papers
*******************
COVID-19: It is in the interest of the organisers to hold IDEAL 2020 as 
a regular physical conference, to facilitate maximum academic 
interactions and impact. So, we hope it will be possible in November. 
However, the Organizing Committee is constantly monitoring the situation 
of COVID-19, both in Portugal and in the world, and will consider the 
possibility of changing the conference to virtual, if the situation is 
still a health threat or a second outbreak.


The International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and 
Automated Learning (IDEAL) is an annual international conference 
dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data 
analytics and associated learning systems and paradigms. After the 
hugely successful IDEAL 2018 in Madrid and its 20th edition in 
Manchester, IDEAL 2020 is going to Guimarães the birthplace of Portugal. 
Its main themes or topics include, but not limited to:

- Big Data Analytics
- Machine Learning & Deep Learning
- Data Mining
- Information Retrieval and Management
- Bio- and Neuro-Informatics
- Bio-Inspired Models
- Agents and Hybrid Intelligent Systems
- Real-world Applications of Intelligent Techniques
