ECML'2000 Workshop >>Meta-Learning<<
date:     May 30th, 2000
location: ECML'2000, Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain)

title:    Meta-Learning: Building Automatic Advice Strategies for
          Model Selection and Method Combination
***********************************************************************

Call for Papers
---------------

Contributions (from all main sub-fields of ML) describing work in
progress as well as position papers are invited. All contributions must
focus on the automation of machine learning and meta-learning. Of
particular interest are methods and proposals that address the
following issues:

 - What criteria and metrics can be used for evaluating and autmating
   model selection in classification and regression? What is the cost
   of these metrics?
 - How can expert knowledge be integrated with meta-learning?
 - What are the requirements for a dynamic, incremental meta-learning
   system? What multi-criteria advice strategy should be used?
 - What different approaches to meta-learning have been/can be proposed
   and/or implemented?

Presentations of beta versions of meta-learning tools for automated or
guided use of methods or algorithms with respect to performance or run
stability are also welcome.

Papers must be submitted electronically, preferably in postscript, to
one of the organisers (see email addresses below). Submitted papers will
be reviewed by at least two independent referees from the Program
Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings
and contributors will be allocated 30 minutes for an oral presentation
during the workshop.

Format according to ECML-2000: long papers (less than 6000 words)
and short papers (less than 4000 words) will be accepted (excluding
title page, but including all tables, figures and bibliography)

 - Deadline for submission: Mar. 31st, 2000
 - Notification of acceptance: Apr. 21st, 2000
 - Final camera ready copy: May 5th, 2000
