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. Following the recent successful events: IDEAL2021 virtual, IDEAL2020 in Guimarães (virtual), IDEAL2019 in Manchester, and IDEAL2018 in Madrid, IDEAL2022 will be back in Manchester, in a hybrid format given the various uncertainty situations. Its main research 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

It is the organisers' every intention previously to hold IDEAL 2022 as a hybrid of traditional physical and virtual conference. Given the COVID and other uncertainties and many travel restrictions and difficulties, the organisers will continuously monitor the situation. Should you have any questions, please contact us.

IDEAL 2022 is organised by the University of Manchester, technically co-sponsored by the IEEE CIS UK & Ireland Chapter. Publication partners are Springer. Registration and Venue partners are Magnifisense and Pendulum Hotel and Manchester Conference Centre.
