PAPER DEADLINE: MARCH 15th 2001

The 33rd Annual Symposium on the Interface of Computer Science and
Statistics will be held June 13-16, 2001 in Orange County, CA.  The
Interface is the premier annual conference at the increasingly active
intersection of computer science and statistics, attracting 300 or
more attendees. This year's themes are data mining and bioinformatics
with invited speakers on massive data sets, graphical models, support
vector machines, Bayesian methods in bioinformatics, analyzing Web
data, statistical models for text, model-based clustering,
computational finance, data visualization, and many more. A special
day on bioinformatics will be scheduled on June 16th with invited
sessions on biological sequence analysis, gene expression data,
brain imaging, and medical data management and analysis.

You are cordially invited to submit a contributed paper for
presentation at the Symposium. We welcome papers on all topics of
potential relevance to the interface of computer science and
statistics. This year, we are particularly interested in increasing
submissions from computer scientists active in machine learning and
related areas. Submissions should consist of a 200-word abstract
with a 4-page short paper, and are due by MARCH 15th.
Electronic submission of abstracts and papers will be required, with
the details appearing shortly on the conference Web site at
www.ics.uci.edu/interface. The complete text of papers presented at
the Symposium will appear in the Interface '01 Proceedings to be
published as a CD-ROM by IFNA (The Interface Foundation for North
America).
