Numerous current or upcoming astronomical surveys produce large amounts of photometric, spectroscopic and/or astrometric data. Object classification, parameter determination, novelty detection and the discovery of structure are important yet challenging tasks. This workshop will bring together scientists from a variety of fields in order to discuss the issues, identify common problems and solutions and to share ideas.

We invite scientists from all areas of astronomy working on these problems to present their work at this workshop. All participants are expected to present an oral or poster presentation, and a print and online proceedings volume will be produced.

The workshop will take place in Ringberg Castle in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps. This will be an informal meeting with a maximum of 60 participants. There will be plenty of time for discussions, both during the plenary sessions as well as in the dining room, bar and lounges in the castle. Up to 34 participants can be hosted at the castle itself with the rest at a hotel in a nearby town. The workshop will start on the Tuesday morning and finish at midday on Friday, followed by a final lunch and departure.

We look forward to welcoming you in Ringberg!
