We would like to inform you that The Australian National University will
be hosting a Machine Learning Summer School.

The Summer School is intended for students and researchers alike, who
are interested in Machine Learning. Its goal is to present some of the
topics which are at the core of modern Learning Theory. The school will
be held in the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
between the 2nd and the 14th of February, 2003. During this time, we
shall present three courses of 6 hours, each one covering one of the
topics listed below. In addition, there will be special lectures which
may focus on additional topics and which will provide background
knowledge in machine learning and statistics. Our aim is to cover much
of the spectrum of Machine Learning, from theory to practice.
