CALL FOR PAPERS - ICMLA 2010

The 9th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA 2010) Washington D.C. - USA, 12-14 December 2010 http://www.icmla-conference.org/icmla10/ (sponsored by IEEE SMCS) ===================================================================== Papers accepted to ICMLA 2010 will be considered, in an expanded form, for possible inclusion in some special issues which will be published in several reputed journals after the conference: Artificial Intelligence Review, Neurocomputing, Information Sciences, etc. Some special sessions will also publish extended papers as special issues in some journals related to the special sessions topics. CALL FOR PAPERS

ICMLA 2010 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to present their latest achievements and innovations in the area of machine learning (ML). The conference provides a leading international forum for the dissemination of original research in ML, with emphasis on applications, novel algorithms and systems. Following the success of previous ICMLA conferences, it aims to attract researchers and application developers from a wide range of ML related areas, such as statistical, probabilistic, fuzzy, neural, evolutionary, inductive, and other kinds of learning. The conference will cover both theoretical as well as experimental research results. Submission of machine learning papers describing machine learning applications in fields like medicine, biology, industry, manufacturing, security, education, virtual environments, game playing and problem solving is strongly encouraged.

Scope of the Conference: o statistical learning o neural network learning o learning through fuzzy logic o learning through evolution (evolutionary algorithms) o reinforcement learning o multi-strategy learning o cooperative learning o planning and learning o multi-agent learning o online and incremental learning o scalability of learning algorithms o inductive learning o inductive logic programming o Bayesian networks o support vector machines o case-based reasoning o machine learning for bioinformatics and computational biology o machine learning and natural language processing o multi-lingual knowledge acquisition and representation o grammatical inference o knowledge acquisition and learning o knowledge discovery in databases o knowledge intensive learning o knowledge representation and reasoning o machine learning and information retrieval o machine learning for web navigation and mining o learning through mobile data mining o text and multimedia mining through machine learning o distributed and parallel learning algorithms and applications o feature extraction and classification o theories and models for plausible reasoning o computational learning theory o cognitive modeling o hybrid learning algorithms o machine learning in: - game playing and problem solving - intelligent virtual environments - industrial and engineering applications - homeland security applications - medicine, bioinformatics and systems biology - economics, business and forecasting applications, etc.

Contributions describing applications of machine learning (ML) techniques to real-world problems, interdisciplinary research involving machine learning, experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights into the design of ML systems, and papers describing development of new analytical frameworks that advance practical machine learning methods are especially encouraged.

The conference will include a number of interesting keynote plenary talks, which will be announced on the conference web site as arrangements are finalized. Previous invited speakers included numerous fellows of IEEE, AMIA, AAAS, AAAI, etc.

Paper Submission High quality papers in all Machine Learning areas are solicited. Papers that present new directions will receive careful and supportive reviews. Authors are expected to ensure that their final manuscripts are original and are not appearing in other publications. Paper should be limited to 6 pages and submitted in IEEE format (double column). Papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, originality, significance and clarity. All submissions will be handled electronically. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, as a hardcopy. A selected number of accepted papers will be invited for possible inclusion, in an expanded and revised form, in some special issues of suitable journals.

ICMLA'10 Best Paper Award and ICMLA'10 Best Poster Award will be conferred at the conference to th e authors of the best research paper and best poster presentation, respectively, based on the reviewers and Programme Committee recommendations.
