IEEE ICDM 2026 — IEEE International Conference on Data Mining

IEEE ICDM 2026 runs 12–15 November 2026 in Shenyang, China, hosted by Northeastern University. ICDM describes itself as the world's premier research conference in data mining and covers algorithms, software, systems and applications — foundations and theory, machine learning and deep learning methods, heterogeneous data mining across text, graphs, streaming and multimedia, big data systems and platforms, large language model applications, and domain work in finance, healthcare and climate science. The 2026 edition introduces a new Applied Track for real-world deployments, industrial systems, interdisciplinary studies, new datasets and comprehensive algorithm analysis, alongside the established Research Track. Research Track papers are capped at ten pages in IEEE two-column format and reviewed triple-blind; Applied Track papers are single-blind. Overlength submissions are rejected without review. The programme also carries workshops, tutorials, demonstrations, a PhD Forum, an Education Forum, a BlueSky Track and a Teen Research Symposium. ICDM has historically been highly selective — 98 of 990 submissions accepted in 2021, a 9.9% rate, against a 15.5% average across seventeen years.

• ✓Data mining and machine learning researchers
• ✓Applied scientists and research engineers
• ✓PhD students and postdocs
• ✓Heads of data science and ML platform teams
• ✓Graph and recommender systems engineers
• ✓Industrial R&D leads

ICDM is where the methods that reach production data platforms two or three years later are first published, and the 2026 Applied Track makes that pipeline shorter by design — it exists specifically for industrial systems, real deployments and new datasets rather than benchmark papers. For a head of data science or ML platform, four days here is a survey of what is credible in graph mining, streaming, recommender systems and LLM-backed data work, filtered by a sub-10% acceptance bar. The demonstrations track and PhD Forum double as an evaluation and recruiting channel for research-grade hires in Asia.

• ✓Research Track — ten-page papers, triple-blind review
• ✓Applied Track — new for 2026, single-blind, for real-world deployments and industrial systems
• ✓Workshops programme with its own paper submission and camera-ready cycle
• ✓Tutorials programme
• ✓Demonstrations track with a separate submission and camera-ready cycle
• ✓PhD Forum and Education Forum
• ✓BlueSky Track for speculative and agenda-setting work
• ✓Teen Research Symposium

• ★One of the most selective venues in the field: 98 of 990 submissions accepted in 2021 (9.9%), with sub-10% rates through 2016–2021 and a 15.5% average over seventeen years
• ★New for 2026 — an Applied Track for production systems, industrial deployments and new datasets, reviewed single-blind so real-world work is not forced into a research-paper shape
• ★Triple-blind review on the Research Track, stricter than the double-blind standard at most ML venues
• ★An unusually wide satellite programme: workshops, tutorials, demonstrations, PhD Forum, Education Forum, BlueSky Track and a Teen Research Symposium
• ★Hard ten-page IEEE two-column limit, enforced by desk rejection rather than negotiated
• ★Deadline-rich autumn calendar — workshop papers, demos, camera-ready and workshop notifications all land between August and October 2026
