This book constitutes refereed articles which present research work on new and emerging topics such as distributed ledger technology, blockchains and architectures, smart cities, machine learning and deep learning techniques and application areas such as flight pricing, energy demand and healthcare. The intended readership of the book include researchers, developers and practitioners in the areas of deep learning, big data and blockchains technologies and their applications.

Deep and machine learning is the state-of-the-art at providing models, methods, tools and techniques for developing autonomous and intelligent systems which can revolutionise industrial and commercial applications in various fields such as online commerce, intelligent transportation, healthcare and medicine, etc. The ground-breaking technology of blockchain also enables decentralisation, immutability, and transparency of data and applications. This event aims to enable synergy between these areas and provide a leading forum for researchers, developers, practitioners, and professionals from public sectors and industries to meet and share the latest solutions and ideas in solving cutting-edge problems in the modern information society and the economy. The conference focuses on specific challenges in deep (and machine) learning, big data and blockchain. Some of the key topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Deep/Machine learning based models Statistical models and learning Data analysis, insights and hidden pattern Data visualisation Security threat detection Data classification and clustering Blockchain security and trust Blockchain data management

The role of deep learning for the analysis and learning of massive amounts of data from all aspects of daily-life has dramatically changed over the last few years. It is increasingly helping uncover trends leading to great successes. This book includes a collection of research manuscripts presenting state-of-the-art work in the areas of deep learning, blockchain and big data. All the manuscripts included in this book have been peer-reviewed based on aspects of novelty, originality and rigour. The main topics covered in the book include machine learning and time series, blockchain technologies and applications, data security, deep learning, and Internet of Things.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Big Data Innovations and Applications, Innovate-Data 2019, held in Istanbul, Turkey, in August 2019.
