The present volume contains papers accepted for oral and poster presentation in the PhD Session of the 2014 EMCL/PKDD conference held September 15-19, 2014 in Nancy, France. The objective of the session was to provide an environment for students to exchange their ideas and experiences with peers and to get constructive feedback from senior researchers in machine learning, data mining and related areas. The topics for discussion were mainly ideas of students and their ongoing work in preparation of their PhD dissertations in machine learning and data mining.
The PhD session received 23 initial submissions from which 8 were finally accepted for oral presentation and 11for poster presentation. All submissions were reviewed typically by three reviewers on the basis of their originality, quality, significance, and presentation. The program of the PhD session consisted of oral and poster presentations of accepted papers and an invited talk by Bart Goethals (University of Antwerp, Belgium).
