                ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

The inaugural IMA European conference on Computational Learning Theory
will be held 20--22 December at Royal Holloway, University of London.
We invite papers in all areas that relate directly to the analysis of
learning algorithms and the theory of machine learning, including
artificial and biological neural networks, robotics, pattern
recognition, inductive inference, information theory and cryptology,
decision theory and Bayesian/MDL estimation.

As part of our program, we are pleased to announce three invited talks
by Les Valiant (Harvard),  Lenny Pitt (Illinois) and Wolfgang Maass
(Graz).

Invitation to Submit a Paper:
Authors should submit six copies (preferably two-sided copies) of an
extended abstract to be received by 15th May, 1993, to: Miss Pamela
Irving, Conference Officer, The Institute of Mathematics and its
Applications, 16 Nelson Street, Southend-on-Sea, Essex SS1 1EF.  The
abstract should consist of a cover page with title, authors' names,
(postal and e-mail) addresses, and a 200 word summary and a body of no
more than 10 pages.

We also solicit proposals for workshops sessions organised by qualified
individuals to facilitate in-depth discussion of particular current
topics. The workshops would be scheduled for the final day of the
conference and would typically last for 3 to 4 hours, including
presentation(s) by the organiser(s) of the workshop, with time for
additional discussions and contributions (informal short talks).

letter mailed on or before 31st July.  Final camera-ready papers will
be due on 22nd September.
