CFPFrom: stan Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001 10:42:54 +0100 Subject: Inductive Logic Programming 2002, deadline Feb 15, 2002 ILP2002 is the twelfth in a series of international conferences on Inductive Logic Programming. We are pleased to announce that ILP2002 will be co-located and coordinated with the Nineteenth International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML2002), and with the Fifteenth Annual Conference on Computational Learning Theory (COLT 2002), bringing together the various communities of researchers who have a common interest in Machine Learning. ILP 2002, ICML 2002 and COLT 2002 will include an extensive joint series of invited speakers and tutorials. The mandate of the ILP 2002 Programme Committee is to extend the coverage of the field by including also aspects of relational learning other than learning of concept definitions expressed in Prolog (see a non-exclusive list of topics below). ILP2002 seeks submission for its two tracks: one for conference papers and one for work in progress reports. CONFERENCE PAPER TRACK We encourage papers that present substantial new results in theoretical, empirical and applied research in all areas of ILP. This includes, for example (a non-exhaustive list): - first-order rule learning - learning probabilistic and statistical relational models - link discovery - learning from relational databases - learning in representations other than logic (e.g. learning tree patterns, learning conceptual graphs) - (multi)relational data mining - ILP-specific issues in relational data mining outside model building (sampling, evaluation, etc.) - multi-instance learning - change of representation and propositionalization - relational reinforcement learning - instance-based and kernel-based methods in ILP - relational text and Web mining; learning from semi-structured data (e.g. XML) - learnability and algorithmic issues of learning from structured data - inductive databases - learning in higher-order logics - logical foundations of induction - efficient implementations - practical applications of ILP and Relational Data Mining All accepted papers will appear in the ILP2002 proceedings, which will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lectures Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series. It is hoped that a journal special issue will come out of selected papers in this track. WORK IN PROGRESS TRACK Work-in-progress reports should be high in interest and potential, but will typically contain only preliminary results and analyses. The work-in-progress track is intended to showcase promising new directions and allow feedback on preliminary work. Challenge and position papers are also suitable. We especially encourage students to submit their preliminary work. Reports accepted for this track will be presented at the conference (probably via a poster presentation) and will appear in a booklet distributed to participants at the conference. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION details: see ILP 2002 website. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIMETABLE Conference Papers Work-in-Progress Reports Submission deadline: February 15, 2002 May 1, 2002 Notification: March 15, 2002 May 15, 2002 Camera-ready copy: April 5, 2002 May 30, 2002 Conference dates: July 9 - 12, 2002 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FURTHER INFORMATION All enquiries should be sent to: ilp2002@lri.fr ILP200 home page www.site.uottawa.ca/~stan/ilp2002 Springer LNCS/LNAI home page http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/ LNAI author instructions http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html |
