For two and a half year MLNET, a network of excellence funded by the
European Commission has been coordinating research, development and
education in Machine Learning, Knowledge Acquisition and Case-Based
Reasoning in Europe. MLNET has now ended. The information system developed
in MLNET (see www.mlnet.org) is still in place but at the moment is not
updated and extended anymore. The system contains information about
persons, groups, projects, datasets, tools, example applications, etc.
with a focus on Europe.

A prototype training system for Machine Learning, with examples can be
found at www.mlnet.org under training .

Another legacy is a document, the Technological Roadmap, that describes
current and expected developments in Machine Learning. If you are
interested in a free copy, send an email with your address to
maarten@swi.psy.uva.nl with your post address and indicate that you would
like a copy of the MLNET Roadmap.

MLNET collaborated with other networks to facilitate the development of
Computational Intelligence. One of the results of this can be found at
www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/coil/. One of the documents is a roadmap for
Computational Intelligence and Learning. An electronic version can eb
found at www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/coil/roadmap/. A hardcopy can be obtained
from the email address above.

The European Commission funded a new network on Adaptive Systems. This
network is called EUNITE and information can be found at www.eunite.org.
Negotiations are underway about a network on Knowledge Discovery. It is
expected that KDNET will take over and extend the MLNET Information
Service. When this becomes active it will be announced on this
mailinglist.
