The 2007 International Conference on Machine Learning: Models,
Technologies & Applications (MLMTA'07) will be held in Las Vegas,
Nevada, June 25-28, 2007.


MLMTA'07 aims to bring together researches from computer science, applied
statistics, applied mathematics and engineering working in the field of
Machine Learning. In addition to traditional topics in development and
application of statistical methods in data analysis MLMTA'07 has this year
a special focus on methods utilizing the 'systems view' of a problem. Due
to the fact that graph-based methods have proven to be an useful
mathematical representation of problems in this class submitted papers
developing or applying graph-based statistical methods are of utmost
interest.
