Connectionists: Final Call for Abstracts: PPSN 2022 Workshop on Parallelism in Knowledge Transfer

[Amiram Moshaiov]

Dear Colleagues,



We would like to inform you that we will be hosting a workshop on Parallelism in Knowledge Transfer.

The WS will be held in conjunction with The 17th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature (PPSN XVII) September 10-14, 2022 Dortmund, Germany https://ppsn2022.cs.tu-dortmund.de/.



Overview of the workshop:



The utilization of knowledge from past experiences is common to the process of learning and to problemsolving by humans. Inspired by humans, researchers in computational intelligence have been developing transfer learning and transfer optimization techniques (TL&TO). TL refers to transfer of knowledge in machine learning techniques to improve performance under limited training data, whereas TO refers to such transfer for accelerating convergence rates in the search for optimal solutions under some criteria. In the last two decades various TL techniques have been studied and their effectiveness has been demonstrated over a large set of problems. This success has been followed with similar attempts in the area of TO, with a particular emphasis on population based bio-inspired optimization approaches. The main goal of this workshop is to provide a meeting place for PPSN participants who are interested in research on bio-inspired TL&TO techniques. We aim to discuss current research on the development of such techniques and on their real-life applications. Finally, we expect to suggest future research directions for TL&TO.

The complete call is attached.

We invite authors/participants to submit new ideas, positional statements, and reviews/summaries/comments on Parallelism in Knowledge Transfer. Submissions should be in the form of extended abstracts (2-4 page abstract PDF file in LNCS format). Please send your submission to moshaiov at tauex.tau.ac.il

Important Dates:
Abstract Submission: May 6, 2022
Notification of Acceptance: May 23, 2022
PPSN 2022 Conference: September 12-14, 2022

 Looking forward to your contributions.



Best Regards,
