In the age of big data, machine learning technology has been effectively utilized in various fields such as image processing, genomics, engineering computing, macroeconomic forecasting, and medical diagnosis. However, despite its success, applying data-driven computing and machine learning in engineering analytics still presents many unresolved challenges. With the aim of promoting research and the application of big data analysis, data-driven computing, and artificial intelligence in engineering, as well as fostering scientific exchanges among scientists, practitioners and engineers from related disciplines.

the 1^st International Conference on Data-Driven Computing and Machine Learning in Engineering (DACOMA)  conference was held in 2019 in Shanghai, China and was hosted by Tongji University, with Professor Hehua Zhu and Professor Timon Rabczuk as its chairs. The 2^nd DACOMA conference was successfully concluded in 2022 in Beijing, China. The 3^rd DACOMA conference was successfully held in 2023 in Beijing, China. The 4^th DACOMA conference was successfully took place in 2024 in Nanjing, China.

The 5^th International Conference on Data-Driven Computing and Machine Learning in Engineering (DACOMA-25) will be held in Beijing, the capital of China, from 10-12 October, 2025. DACOMA-25 will be hosted by Tsinghua University, and jointly organized by Leibniz University Hannover, Tongji University, Bauhaus University Weimar, German Association of Computational Mechanics, Chinese Association of Computational Mechanics and Beijing Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The conference will be held with Professor Zhuo Zhuang and Professor Timon Rabczuk, prominent scholars in the field of computational mechanics, serving as the conference chairs. This year's conference will continue to focus on machine learning and AI in general for relevants topics in Engineering and Science.

We sincerely invite experts, colleagues, and students in the fields of data-driven computational mechanics and machine learning to participate in the conference. We are looking forward to seeing you in Beijing. We believe that you will enjoy the wide variety of activities of the DACOMA-25, as well as your stay in this elegant city.
