AAIA'16 Data Mining Challenge is the third data mining competition associated with International Symposium on Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Applications which is a part of FedCSIS'16 conference series (www.fedcsis.org ).
This time, the task is related to the problem of predicting periods of increased seismic activity which may cause life-threatening accidents in underground coal mines.
Prizes worth over 3,000 USD will be awarded to the most successful teams. The contest is sponsored by Research and Development Centre EMAG with support from Polish Information Processing Society.

A special session devoted to the competition will be held at FedCSIS'16 conference. Authors of selected competition reports will be invited to extend them for publication in the conference proceedings and presentation at the conference. The publications will be indexed by IEEE Digital Library and Web of Science.
