FINAL CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS  (due in 11 days)

Correlation Learning Workshop

The Eighteenth Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence
University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia
May 8th, 2005


Workshop Website:

A.I. '05 Website:

The Correlation Learning Workshop invites participants to present 
original work in in Correlation Learning, defined as follows. 
Correlative learning is a paradigm for adaptive behaviour which uses 
correlations between neuronal activations, oscillations and/or changes 
in system energy to effect synaptic plasticity. Correlative learning 
has a long history in biological models of neoronal computation, and 
has recently garnered an increased amount of interest in the field of 
machine learning. The AI'05 Correlation Workshop is the opportunity for 
you to share, discuss and further develop ideas and techniques in 
correlative learning. It will bring together research from the 
biological community that focusses on explaining biological learning 
and combine it with correlative learning approaches from the machine 
learning community that focus on effectiveness for pattern recognition 
problems.

Prospective participants are invited to submit a 2-page summary of a 
proposed 30 minute presentation by February 18th. Accepted speakers 
will be invited to give their presentation, participate in the workshop 
discussions and contribute an article for consideration in a special 
issue of the new, on-line (open access) journal: Canadian Journal of 
Natural Computation (ISSN 1703-7115).  Proposals will be reviewed by 
the workshop organizers and judged according to their originality, 
technical merit and clarity of presentation.

Proposal Submission:

Authors are invited to submit proposals in plain text, PDF, Postscript, 
or MS-Word RTF via e-mail to skremer at uoguelph.ca. All e-mails must have 
a subject header of "AI2005 Workshop Submission" to be considered.

Important Dates:

Proposal submission due:                       February 18th, 2005
Notification of acceptance:                    February 28th, 2005
