The 8th IEEE International Workshop on Deep Analysis of Data-Driven Applications (DADA 2026)

Goal of the workshop

The workshop aims to identify challenging and novel applications of deep learning algorithms to address scientific and engineering problems. The workshop fosters deep learning techniques to modeling and analyzing data-driven applications. It creates a venue for researchers from academia and industry to share their intellectual ideas and experiences with respect to challenges, novel problems, innovative applications, and creative solutions regarding the applications of deep learning to scientific and industrial problems driven by data.

Workshop theme

AI/ML/LLMs-based and Agentic AI application systems, and more notably the applications of Large Language Models (LLMs)) are becoming the mainstream for software industry. The recent advancement in big data generation and management, LLMs, Transformer-based techniques has created an avenue for decision makers to utilize these huge data collected from many application domains for different purposes. Application developers and data scientists have utilized conventional machine learning techniques for a long time. However, with the advancement of deep learning paradigm, developers and decision makers are able to learn more about their data and then explore and model hidden features for prediction and analysis purposes. The new trends of practices in developing data-driven application systems and decision-making algorithms seek adaptation of deep learning algorithms and techniques in many application domains including AI/ML/LLMs-based software systems and applications and variety of scientific domains. An interesting aspect of adaptation of deep learning algorithms to such problems is that new challenging problems can be identified and deep learning algorithm can be innovatively adapted to address the discovered problems are explored.
