Welcome to ICDM 2026

The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) has established itself as the world's premier research conference in data mining. It provides an international forum for sharing original research results, as well as for exchanging and disseminating innovative and practical development experiences. The conference covers all aspects of data mining, including algorithms, software, systems, and applications.

ICDM draws researchers, application developers, and practitioners from a wide range of data mining-related areas, such as big data, deep learning, pattern recognition, statistical and machine learning, databases, data warehousing, data visualization, knowledge-based systems, high-performance computing, and large models. By promoting novel, high-quality research findings and innovative solutions to challenging data mining problems, the conference seeks to advance the state of the art in data mining.


NEW IN 2026 Applied Track — ICDM 2026 introduces a dedicated Applied Track welcoming papers on real-world deployed systems, interdisciplinary applications, new datasets, and comprehensive experimental analyses.
Deadline: June 6, 2026 View Call for Papers →
