This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on
Intelligent Data Analysis IDA 2020 held in Konstanz Germany in April 2020. The 45 full
papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 114 submissions.
Advancing Intelligent Data Analysis requires novel potentially game-changing ideas. IDA's
mission is to promote ideas over performance: a solid motivation can be as convincing as
exhaustive empirical evaluation.
