The twenty-ninth International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR) begins today, Monday, September 13. From today until Thursday, September 16, researchers and practitioners will gather at the most important event of the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) community worldwide, to present the latest results of their work and discuss future lines of research in this area.

The conference is organized by the BISITE Research Group of the University of Salamanca, the IoT Digital Innovation Hub, the AIR Institute, Knexus Research and Universidad Complutense Madrid. Two major figures in this field will take part: Kerstin Bach, from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, who will present her research entitled “Development of Digital Health Interventions using Case-Based Reasoning” and Santiago Ontañón Villar, Google Research and Drexel University, with his work “Compositional Generalization in Machine Learning and CBR”.

Over four days, attendees will have the opportunity to attend interesting lectures, workshops and other activities intended to enrich research within the CBR community.
