First Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals
*****************************************************************
General Information
===================
The 13th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML'96) will
be held in Bari, Italy, during July 3-6th, 1996, with informal
workshops on July 3rd. The purpose of the conference is twofold:
firstly, to emphasize the potential of machine learning approaches for
solving problems in a wide range of application domains, secondly, to
highlight relationships between machine learning and other fields,
such as statistics, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence,
control theory, instructional and cognitive sciences, computational
complexity theory and software engineering.
Program
=======
The scientific program will include invited talks, presentations of
refereed papers and a session of general discussion. Submissions are
invited in all areas of Machine Learning, including, but not limited
to:
Abduction Analogy Applications of machine learning
Artificial neural networks Case-Based learning
Cognitive models of learning Computational learning theory
Explanation-based learning Formal models of learning
Inductive learning Inductive logic programming
Genetic algorithms Knowledge discovery in databases
Learning and problem solving Multistrategy learning
Reinforcement learning Representation change
Scientific discovery Theory revision
Paper Format
============
Submissions must be clearly legible, with good quality print. Papers
are limited to twelve (12) pages, excluding title page and
bibliography, but including all tables and figures. Papers must be
printed on 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper or A4 format, using 12 point type (10
characters per inch), with no more than 40 lines per page. A separate
title page must include the title of the paper, the email and postal
addresses of all authors, and a clear summary of the main
contributions of the paper. The title page of accepted papers will be
made available via World-Wide Web before the conference take
place. Double-sided printing in encouraged.
Requirement for Submissions
===========================
Please send five (5) copies of each submitted paper to the Conference
Chair. Submissions must be received by January 21st, 1996. Electronic
or Fax submissions are not acceptable. Notification of acceptance or
rejection will be mailed to the first (or designated) author by March
8th 1996. Camera-ready accepted papers are due on April 6th, 1996.
Review Criteria
===============
Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the
Program or Advisory Committee, and will be judged on significance,
originality and clarity. Papers addressing application issues are
welcome. Simultaneous submission to other conferences must be
explicitly declared. In the case of multiple acceptance, presentation
at ICML'96 and inclusion in the proceedings is only granted upon
withdrawal from the other conference(s).
Workshop Proposals
==================
Workshop proposals are invited in all areas of Machine
Learning. Please send a two (2) page description of the proposed
workshop, its objectives, organizer(s), and expected number of
attendees. The proposal must be received by the Workshop Chair by
December 15th, 1995. Descriptions of accepted workshops will be made
available via World-Wide Web. Notification of acceptance or rejection
will be mailed to the organizer by January 31st, 1996. Calls for
Papers for accepted workshops will be responsibility of the
organizer(s).
