CFP: Invited session on

Learning from uncertain data

KES2007: 11th International Conference on Knowledge-Based and  
Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems

in conjunction with

WIRN07: 17th Italian Workshop on Neural Networks

September 12-14, 2007 - Vietri sul Mare (SA), Italy

  http://homes.dsi.unimi.it/~malchiod/WIRN07/

------------------------------------

The session will focus on research activities in the field of  
learning from data when a quantitative measure of the uncertainty  
affecting each data item is available, as a counterpart of the usual  
samples in input to learning algorithms, gathering data to be  
considered homogeneously.

------------------------------------

Topics

The session will welcome (although not limiting to) contributions on  
theoretical analysis of the problem, design of machine learning  
algorithms, as well as real-world applications. A non exhaustive list  
of topics to focus on is the following:

* Learning algorithms
* Integration between learning and fuzzy sets
* Soft computing methods for classification and model selection
* Support vector machines and kernel methods
* Integration between optimization and learning
* Statistical methods for dealing with uncertainty
* Real-world applications of uncertainty-based learning algorithms
------------------------------------

Paper submissions

Participants are encouraged to submit papers (up to eight pages in  
length) in the Springer LNCS/LNAI format. The conference proceedings  
will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNAI series.

All submissions should be sent in PDF to malchiodi(AT)dsi.unimi.it.
