The 30th Annual Conference of the German Classification Society - 
Gesellschaft für Klassifikation (GfKl), a member of the International 
Federation of Classification Societies (IFCS), focuses on data analysis, 
learning of latent structures in datasets, and unscrambling of knowledge.

The scientific program will include sessions with invited talks and 
contributed presentations from a broad range of topics. Special emphasis 
will be laid on interdisciplinary research and the interaction between 
theory and practice. The program will be complemented by an advanced 
Japanese-German workshop on data analysis and classification as well as 
a doctoral workshop for PhD students working on the conference topics.
