Michael Kearn's name was inadvertently left off the organizing list
for the NIPS*98 workshop on Integrating Supervised and Unsupervised
Learning. A corrected announcement for that workshop appears below.
**************************************************************
TITLE: Integrating Supervised and Unsupervised Learning
This workshop will debate the relationship between supervised and
unsupervised learning. The discussion will run the gamut from
examining the view that supervised learning can be performed by
unsupervised learning of the joint distribution between the inputs and
targets, to discussion of how natural learning systems do supervised
learning without explicit labels, to the presentation of practical
methods of combining supervised and unsupervised learning by using
unsupervised clustering or unlabelled data to augment a labelled
corpus. The debate should be fun because some attendees believe
supervised learning has clear advantages, while others believe
unsupervised learning is the only game worth playing in the long run.
