IDA Society

Ideas over performance.

IDA brings together researchers who develop bold, scientifically grounded ideas in intelligent data analysis. We value novelty, insight, and potential impact, rather than focusing only on incremental improvements to established benchmarks.

Why IDA?

Promising ideas get an early hearing. IDA welcomes original work whose importance may become clear before every aspect has been exhaustively validated.

Disciplines meet. The symposium brings together perspectives from AI, data science, machine learning, statistics, and related fields, seeking insights and abstractions that travel across domains.

Discussion is part of the programme. IDA's deliberately small, single-track format brings students and senior researchers into the same conversation, leaving room to question, connect, and develop ideas.

Next symposium

The next IDA symposium will take place in Pisa, Italy, in April 2027; stay tuned for details. Meanwhile, explore past symposia or learn more about organizing an IDA symposium.
