Data Mining: Beyond the Horizon was a workshop to discuss and work towards where the participants think the field of data mining should be headed. Beyond the Horizon took place in Bristol, UK, from Wed 19 – Fri 21 November 2014.

The goal of the workshop was two-fold:

1) Open-ended: to exchange thoughts about the challenges and opportunities for our generation of data mining researchers, and to establish future-proof visions.

2) Goal-oriented: to facilitate short-, medium-, and long-term collaborations among the participants, including joint project proposals, papers, co-organized workshops, tutorials, etc.

Attendance at Beyond the Horizon was by invitation only. To keep it small and effective as a workshop, only a limited number of researchers was invited to participate.
