CFP: "Computational Learning and Natural Learning" workshop

[Russell Greiner]

	CLNL'93 -- Call for Submissions
Computational Learning and Natural Learning
Provincetown, Massachusetts		10-12 September 1993

CLNL'93 is the fourth of an ongoing series of workshops designed to bring
together researchers from a diverse set of disciplines -- including
  computational learning theory, AI/machine learning, 
  connectionist learning, statistics, and control theory --
to explore issues at the intersection of theoretical learning research and
natural learning systems.

Theme: To be useful, the learning methods used by our fields must be able
to handle the complications inherent in real-world tasks.  We therefore
encourage researchers to submit papers that discuss extensions to learning
systems that let them address issues such as: 
  * handling many irrelevant features
  * dealing with large amounts of noise
  * inducing very complex concepts
  * mining enormous sets of data
  * learning over extended periods of time
  * exploiting large amounts of background knowledge
We welcome theoretical analyses, comparative studies of existing algorithms,
psychological models of learning in complex domains, and reports on relevant
new techniques. 
    
Submissions: Authors should submit three copies of an abstract (100 words 
or less) and a summary (2000 words or less) of original research to: 
	 CLNL'93 Workshop
         Learning Systems Department
	 Siemens Corporate Research
	 755 College Road East
	 Princeton, NJ 08540-6632
by 30 June 1993.  We will also accept plain-text, stand-alone LaTeX
or Postscript submissions sent by electronic mail to
	 clnl93 at learning.scr.siemens.com

Each submission will be refereed by the workshop organizers and evaluated
based on its relevance to the theme, originality, clarity, and significance.  
Copies of accepted abstracts will be distributed at the workshop, and 
MIT Press has agreed to publish an edited volume that incorporates papers
from the meeting, subject to revisions and additional reviewing. 

Invited Talks:
	Tom Dietterich   Oregon State University
	Ron Rivest       Massachusetts Institute of Technology
	Leo Breiman      University of California, Berkeley
	Yann le Cun      Bell Laboratories

Important Dates:
        Deadline for submissions:          30 June 1993
        Notification of acceptance:        20 July 1993
	CLNL'93 Workshop:	           10-12 September 1993
