=============

Machine learning and data mining provide the foundation for a vast number of smart applications today. For this purpose, a large amount of partly private data is captured by sensors, pre-processed by data stream systems and stored in databases. Machine learning and data mining approaches then learn models from these data. By applying these models to real time data, smart applications are able to predict and adapt to future requirements. Such applications are a substantial benefit for the user. However, to enable smart applications, a large amount of data is required in the first place. Only if the data quality is sufficient, accurate models can be learned and sound predictions can be made. Yet, there is a growing concern on the part of users regarding the large-scale processing of private data. In addition, new regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) restrict this kind of data processing even further. Today's data privacy approaches affect data quality and data quantity severely so that the utility of machine learning and data mining suffers sustainably.

The PriMaL Special Track, therefore, concerns with novel approaches that guarantee privacy in machine learning applications without restricting their utility unnecessarily. This track aims at providing a forum to discuss recent advancements, exchange ideas and share experiences on new issues and challenges in the context of privacy for high-utility machine learning.

========================================

• Novel privacy approaches for machine learning applications
