This edited volume on machine learning and big data analytics (Proceedings of ICMLBDA 2021) is intended to be used as a reference book for researchers and practitioners in the disciplines of computer science, electronics and telecommunication, information science, and electrical engineering. Machine learning and Big data analytics represent a key ingredients in the industrial applications for new products and services. Big data analytics applies machine learning for predictions by examining large and varied data sets-i.e., big data-to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, market trends, customer preferences, and other useful information that can help organizations make more informed business decisions.

For more than a decade, Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science Conferences have been providing an annual forum for the presentation of new research results in India and abroad. This year, 119 papers from 20 countries were submitted. Each paper was reviewed by at least three reviewers, and 33 papers were selected for presentation and included in this volume, grouped into parts on type theory, parallel algorithms, term rewriting, logic and constraint logic programming, computational geometry and complexity, software technology, concurrency, distributed algorithms, and algorithms and learning theory. Also included in the volume are the five invited papers presented at theconference.
