Introduction
------------

On behalf of the  organizing committee of the First International  
Workshop on Partially
Supervised Learning (PSL 2011) we are pleased to invite all interested  
contributors to
submit an abstract or a paper to the workshop, that will take place at  
the University of
Ulm (Germany) on September 15-16, 2011.

PSL2011 is supported by the International Association of Pattern  
Recognition (IAPR) and
is organized by the IAPR Technical Committee on Neural Networks and  
Computational
Intelligence(TC 3),  the workshop's objective is to bring together  
recent novel research
in the broad areas of learning from partially labeled data, or combined
supervised/unsupervised learning, as well as to identify scenarios for  
real-world
applications.

Topics
------

Methodological Issues
.        Combinations of supervised and unsupervised learning
.        Diffusion learning
.        Semi-supervised classification, regression, and clustering
.        Learning with deep architectures
.        Active leaning
.        PSL with vague, fuzzy, or uncertain teaching signals
.        PSL in multiple classifier systems and ensembles
.        PSL in neural nets, machine learning, or statistical pattern  
recognition
.        PSL in cognitive systems

Applications
.        Image and signal processing
.        Multimodal information processing
.        Sensor / information fusion
.        Human computer interaction
.        Data mining and web mining
.        Bioinformatics


Submission guidelines
---------------------
We solicit talk proposals in the form of an extended abstract of four  
pages. Oral and
poster presentations will be organized depending on the number of  
contributions. Authors
of accepted abstracts have the opportunity to submit a full paper of  
10 pages after the
workshop. The submission for full papers is October 15th, 2011. After  
the workshop the
proceedings will be published as a volume in the Springer LNAI series.  
Length is 10 pages
for full papers  or 4 pages for extended abstracts in LNCS/LNAI format.
