Topics of Interest

The 17th Learning and Intelligent Optimization conference is an 
interdisciplinary conference that brings together researchers in 
operations research, machine learning and related fields. We welcome 
contributions on all LION themes, i.e., topics containing exact and 
heuristic optimization involving learning or intelligent techniques, 
such as determining and applying appropriate optimization methods, 
expensive algorithm configuration, intelligent learning schemes for 
learning from past algorithm behavior, hybrid algorithms (evolutionary, 
etc.) to achieve robust and effective performance. Also, we solicit 
contributions on this year's special theme "ML and OR pipelines".

We invite submissions presenting new and original research on all topics 
related and relevant to the conference. All papers will be reviewed in a 
double-blind process and accepted papers will be presented at the 
conference.

Keynotes and Tutorials (More to be announced)

- Prof. Wil van der Aalst (RWTH Aachen, Celonis) "Process Mining for 
Optimization and Optimization for Process Mining"
- Dr. Martina Fischetti (European Commission Research Center) 
"Operations Research + Machine Learning for the design of future 
offshore wind farms"
- Prof. Carlos Ansotegui (Universitat de Lleida)

Proceedings

Papers accepted into the LION17 proceedings will be published in Lecture 
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submitted papers can have a maximum 
length of 15 pages (including references) and should use the LNCS 
template, which can be found here: 
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. 
Papers must be submitted as a PDF in English.

Please note that concurrent submissions are not allowed, and that a 
unique author of each accepted paper must register for conference for 
the paper to be included in the proceedings.


Special Sessions

In addition to submissions about general LION themes, we also welcome 
submissions related to one of our special sessions. The special sessions 
will be part of the regular conference and are subject to the same 
peer-review as all other submissions.

Special session 1: Bayesian Optimization and (Machine) Learning: 
Solutions, Applications, Challenges, and Perspectives
Organized by: Antonio Candelieri and Francesco Archetti (University of 
Milano-Bicocca)

Special session 2: Combinatorial and Integer Optimization Layers in Deep 
Learning
Organized by: Elias B. Khalil (University of Toronto), Bistra Dilkina 
(University of Southern California), Axel Parmentier (Ecole Nationale 
des Ponts et Chaussées)

Special session 3: Learning and Intelligent Optimization for Physical 
Systems
Organized by: Michael Vrahatis and Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis 
(University of Patras)

Special session 4: Data-Driven Optimization with Business Process Mining
Organized by: Om Prakash Vyas (Indian Institute of Information 
Technology Allahabad) and Jerome Geyer-Klingeberg (Celonis)

Special session 5: Responsible AI in Practice
Organized by: Hendrik Baier, Laurens Bliek, Zaharah Bukhsh, Isel Grau, 
Yingqian Zhang (Eindhoven University of Technology)

For full descriptions of the special sessions, please see
