BENELEARN 2010
The 19th annual machine learning conference of Belgium and The Netherlands
http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~dtai/events/Benelearn2010/

May 27 and 28, 2010
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

Call for Papers and Extended Abstracts


Scope

Benelearn is the annual machine learning conference of Belgium and The Netherlands. It serves as a forum for researchers to exchange ideas, present recent work, and foster collaboration in the broad field of Machine Learning and its applications. Benelearn 2010 will be organised by the Department of Computer Science of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The conference will take place on May 27 and 28, 2010 in Leuven, Belgium. Contributions are now being invited that are relevant to machine learning and related disciplines in a broad sense.


Topics

We invite the submission of extended abstracts and papers on all aspects of machine learning and related disciplines, including, but not limited to

Kernel Methods
Web/Link Mining
Bayesian Networks
Case-based Learning
Computational Learning Theory
Data Mining
Evolutionary Computation
Hybrid Learning Systems
Graphical Models
Inductive Learning
Inductive Logic Programming
Knowledge Discovery in Databases
Language Learning
Learning and Problem Solving
Learning by Analogy
Learning in Multi-Agent Systems
Learning in Dynamic Domains
Learning for Bioinformatics
Multi-strategy Learning
Neural Networks
Reinforcement Learning
Robot Learning
Scientific Discovery
Meta-Learning
Statistical Learning
Probabilistic Logic Learning
Computational models of Human Learning
Learning for Language and Speech
Applications of Machine Learning
Learning and Ubiquitous Computing


Submission

Submissions are possible as either paper or extended abstract.

Papers should present original, completed and unpublished research. Presentation at the conference will be in the form of a talk.

Extended abstracts may present current, recently published, but also possible future research. For example, you may wish to outline a project that you are interested in, describe and discuss the Big Question in your field or a new or controversial idea or make an appeal for collaboration. Presentation at the conference will be in the form of a speed talk and/or a poster.

All submissions are to be formatted using the instructions (or style files) provided at the BeNeLearn 2010 website (http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~dtai/events/Benelearn2010/ ). Papers should hold a maximum of 6 pages; extended abstracts up to 2 pages.

Papers and extended abstracts should be submitted electronically, no later than Friday, April 2nd, 2010. The only accepted format for submitted papers is PDF.

The reviewing process of the papers will be blind; thus these submissions should not include the authors' names and affiliations or any references to web sites, project names etc. revealing the authors' identity. Each paper submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. Extended abstracts will also be reviewed, but due to the nature of the extended abstracts reviewing will not be blind. All accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings.


Breakout session on teaching machine learning

In addition, we will organize a breakout session on "Teaching Machine Learning". For this session, we invite you to submit an extended abstract describing for example:
- A position statement on teaching machine learning
- Machine learning course contents
- Student project (past, present and/or planned)
- Master thesis projects
- ...
Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to present the discussed topic during a special breakout session. Depending on the topic and the overall number of contributions, this might be in the form of a talk, poster or as member of a panel discussion.
