Apologizes for cross-posting. ------------------------------------ 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 or uploaded following the procedure described on the KES2007 web site. ------------------------------------ Important dates Paper deadline: February 28th, 2007 Notification of acceptance: April 1st, 2007 Camera-ready papers: April 30th, 2007 ------------------------------------ Session chair Dario Malchiodi Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Informazione Università degli Studi di Milano Via Comelico 39/41 20135 Milano ITALY T: +39 02 503 16338 F: +39 02 503 16276 E: malchiodi(AT)dsi.unimi.it W: http://homes.dsi.unimi.it/~malchiod ------------------------------------ Conference venue The conference will be organized in the beautiful town of Vietri sul Mare, near Salerno.
