Benelearn is the annual machine learning conference of Belgium and The Netherlands. It serves as a forum for researchers in this field to exchange ideas and present recent work. The official language of the conference is English. Benelearn 2002 will be organized by University Utrecht, Institute of Information and Computing Sciences of the University Utrecht,
Benelearn wants to broaden its focus to disciplines that are closely related to Machine Learning. We invite papers relevant to machine learning and related disciplines in the broadest sense, especially papers that cross borders between disciplines. Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to:
Applications of Machine Learning Bayesian Learning 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 to Search Multistrategy Learning Neural Networks Reinforcement Learning Robot Learning Scientific Discovery
Papers are limited to 8 pages (using a 11pt Times Roman font), including figures, title page, references, and appendices. Style files can be downloaded from the conference web site. The papers will be primarily refereed on their relevance to the conference, and according to clarity and overall quality criteria.
Email submissions are strongly preferred. Please send a PostScript or PDF file to Marco Wiering (marco@cs.uu.nl).
