Preliminary program

 

The preliminary program of the ESANN 2012 conference is now available on the Web:

       http://www.esann.org/

For those of you who maintain WWW pages including lists of related machine learning and artificial neural networks sites: we would appreciate if you could add the above URL to your list; thank you very much!

 

For 20 years the ESANN conference has become a major event in the field of neural computation and machine learning.  ESANN is a selective conference focusing on fundamental aspects of artificial neural networks, machine learning, statistical information processing and computational intelligence.  Mathematical foundations, algorithms and tools, and applications are covered.  

 

The titles of the sessions are:

- Theory and practice of adaptive input driven dynamical systems

- Interpretable models in machine learning

- Machine ensembles: theory and applications

- Regression

- Brain-computer interfaces

- Image and time series analysis

- Bayesian and graphical models, optimization

- Unsupervised learning

- Statistical methods and kernel-based algorithms

- Classification and model selection

- Clustering

- Feature selection and information-based learning

- Nonlinear dimensionality reduction and topological learning

- Recurrent and neural networks, reinforcement learning, control

- Parallel hardware architectures for acceleration of neural network computation

 

The program of the conference can be found at http://www.esann.org/, together with practical information about the conference venue, registration, etc.  Other information can be obtained by sending an e-mail to esann at uclouvain.be.

 

 

Venue

------

 

The conference will be held in Bruges (also called "Venice of the North"), one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Europe.  Bruges can be reached by train from Brussels in less than one hour (frequent trains).  Designated as the "Venice of the North", the city has preserved all the charms of the medieval heritage. Its centre, which is inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage list, is in itself a real open air museum.

 

The conference will be organized in a hotel located near the centre (walking distance) of the town. There is no obligation for the participants to stay in this hotel. Hotels of all levels of comfort and price are available in Bruges; there is a possibility to book a room in the hotel of the conference at a preferential rate through the conference secretariat. A list of other smaller hotels is also available.

 

The conference will be held at the Novotel hotel, Katelijnestraat 65B, 8000 Brugge, Belgium.
