1st International Workshop on Industrial Machine Learning
ICPR 2020
January 10th, 2020 | Milan, Italy
With the advent of Industry 4.0 paradigm, data has become a valuable resource, and very often an asset, for every manufacturer. Data from the market, from machines, from warehouses and many other sources are now cheaper than ever to be collected and stored. It has been estimated that in 2020 we will have more than 50B devices connected to the Industrial Internet of Things, generating more than 500ZB of data. With such an amount of data, classical data analysis approaches are not useful and only automated learning methods can be applied to produce value, a market estimated in more than 200B$ worldwide. Through the use of machine learning techniques manufacturers can use data to significantly impact their bottom line by greatly improving production efficiency, product quality, and employee safety.
The introduction of ML in industry has many benefits that can result in advantages well beyond efficiency improvements, opening doors to new opportunities for both practitioners and researchers. Some direct applications of ML in manufacturing include predictive maintenance, supply chain management, logistics, quality control, human-robot interaction, process monitoring, anomaly detection and root cause analysis to name a few.
This workshop will draw attention to the importance of integrating ML technologies and ML-based solutions into the manufacturing domain, while addressing the challenges and barriers to meet the specific needs of this sector. Workshop participants will have the chance to discuss:
needs and barriers for ML in manufacturing
state-of-the-art in ML applications to manufacturing
future research opportunities in this domain

Call for Papers
This is an open call for papers, soliciting original contributions considering recent findings in theory, methodologies, and applications in the field of industrial machine learning. Position papers presenting industrial use cases and discussing potential solutions are welcome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
Robustness-oriented learning algorithms
Machine learning for robotics (e.g. learning from demonstration)
Continuous and life-long learning for industrial applications
Transfer learning and domain adaptation
Anomaly detection and process monitoring
ML applications to Predictive Maintenance
ML applications to Supply Chain and Logistics
ML applications to Quality Control
ML for flexible manufacturing
Deep Learning for industrial applications
Learning from Big-Data
Inference in real-time applications
Machine Learning on Embedded and Edge computing hardware
All the contributions are expected to expose applications to the industrial sector, possibly with real world case studies. Position papers presenting new industrial systems and case studies, possibly reporting preliminary validation studies, are also encouraged.
A Best Paper Award will be assigned to the most relevant contribution. The decision will be taken by the Organizing Committee according to the reviewers’ feedback.
Sumbission
Papers will be limited to 8 pages according to ICPR format (c.f. Main conference authors guidelines). All papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers with double blind policy. Papers will be selected based on relevance, significance and novelty of results, technical merit, and clarity of presentation. Papers will be published in ICPR proceedings.
All the papers must be submitted using CMT submission server.
