The Eighteenth International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML-2001)
will be held at Williams College, in the scenic Berkshires of western
Massachusetts, from June 28 to July 1, 2001.  The conference will bring
together researchers to exchange ideas and report recent progress in the
computational study of learning.

The conference program will include workshops and tutorials on the first
day, followed by three days of technical presentations, invited talks,
and poster sessions.

Submissions of papers are invited that describe empirical,
theoretical, and cognitive-modeling research in all areas of machine
learning.  We welcome work describing research contributions arising
from the application of machine learning techniques to real-world
problems.  Submissions that present interdisciplinary research
involving machine learning are especially encouraged.

The timetable for submission of papers is as follows:

Abstracts due:                          January 22, 2001

Williamstown and The Berkshires are popular tourist destinations.
There are a variety of activities one can choose from -- ranging from
hiking the Appalachian trail to visiting the Clark Art Institute to
attending a play at the Williamstown Theater Festival.  Tanglewood,
the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, is a short drive from
Williamstown.
