However, you must call the local phone number, 908-873-1234. Be sure to reference ML94/COLT94. Further information on the two conferences (including registration information) is available via anonymous ftp from cs.rutgers.edu in directory /pub/learning94, and also from our www site at URL http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/pub/learning94/learning94.html. Email to ml94@cs.rutgers.edu or colt94@research.att.com will also work. Hope to see you July 10-15!

Program: The scientific program will include invited talks, presentations of accepted papers, poster and demo sessions. ECML-95 will be followed by MLNet familiarization workshops for which a separate call for proposals will be published (contact mlnet@computing- science.aberdeen.ac.uk). Research areas: Submissions are invited in all areas of Machine Learning, including, but not limited to: abduction analogy applications of machine learning automated discovery case-based learning comput. learning theory explanation-based learning inductive learning inductive logic programming genetic algorithms learning and problem solving multistrategy learning reinforcement learning representation change revision and restructuring Program Chairs: Nada Lavravc (J. Stefan Institute, Ljubljana) and Stefan Wrobel (GMD, Sankt Augustin). Program Committee: F. Bergadano (Italy) I. Bratko (Slovenia) P. Brazdil (Portugal) W. Buntine (USA) L. De Raedt (Belgium) W. Emde (Germany) J.G. Ganascia (France) K. de Jong (USA) Y. Kodratoff (France) I. Kononenko (Slovenia) W. Maass (Austria) R. Lopez de Mantaras (Spain) S. Matwin (Canada) K. Morik (Germany) S. Muggleton (UK) E. Plaza (Spain) L. Saitta (Italy) D. Sleeman (UK) W. van de Velde (Belgium) G. Widmer (Austria) R. Wirth (Germany) Local chair : Vassilis Moustakis, Institute of Computer Science, Foundation of Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH), P.O. Box 1385, 71110 Heraklion, Crete, Greece (E-mail ecml-95@ics.forth.gr). Submission of papers: Paper submissions are limited to 5000 words. The title page must contain the title, names and addresses of authors, abstract of the paper, research area, a list of keywords and demo request (yes/no). Full address, including phone, fax and E-mail, must be given for the first author (or the contact person). Title page must also be sent by E-mail to ecml-95@gmd.de. If possible, use the sample LaTeX title page that will be available from ftp.gmd.de, directory /ml-archive/general/ecml-95. Six (6) hard copies of the whole paper should be sent by 2November 1994 to: Nada Lavrac & Stefan Wrobel (ECML-95) GMD, FIT.KI, Schloss Birlinghoven, 53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany Papers will be evaluated with respect to technical soundness, significance, originality and clarity. Papers will either be accepted as full papers (presented at plenary sessions, published as full papers in the proceedings) or posters (presented at poster sessions, published as extended abstracts). System and application exhibitions : ECML-95 offers commercial and academic participants an opportunity to demonstrate their systems and/or applications. Please announce your intention to demo to the local chair by 24 March 1995, specifying precisely what type of hardware and software you need. We strongly encourage authors of papers that describe systems or applications to accompany their presentation with a demo (please indicate on the title page). Registration and further information: For information about paper submission and program, con- tact the program chairs (E-mail ecml-95@gmd.de). For information about local ar- rangements or to request a registration brochure, contact the local chair (E-mail ecml-95@ics.forth.gr).

Suitable topics for discussion include (but are not limited to) * Applications of machine learning to weather forecasting * Artificial neural networks in meteorology * Automatic interpretation and analysis of satellite imagery * Automatic synthesis of weather forecast texts * Case-based reasoning and meteorology * Expert systems and decision aids for weather forecasting * High-level interfaces to archives of meteorological data * Statistical pattern recognition To subscribe to MET-AI, send e-mail to met-ai-request@comp.vuw.ac.nz, including the following command in the body of your message: subscribe MET-AI is an unmoderated mailing list. Problems and suggestions to Eric Jones (Eric.Jones@comp.vuw.ac.nz). ------------------------------ From: GANN Mailing list (Vasant Honavar) <"GANN Mailing list gannadm"@cs.iastate.edu> Subject: Mailing List on Evolutionary Design of Neural Networks Date: Thu, 16 Jun 94 14:50:22 CDT ** Announcement ** ** A Mailing List on Evolutionary Design of Neural Networks ** The neuro-evolution e-mail list (which was originally started by Mike Rudnick but has been defunct for a couple of years due to logistic problems) is being restarted under the new name `gann'. The gann list will focus on the use of evolutionary algorithms (genetic algorithms, genetic programming and their variants) in the exploration of the design space of (artificial) neural network architectures and algorithms. The list will be semi-moderated to keep the signal to noise ratio as high as possible. MEMBERSHIP AND SCOPE: The membership on the list is open to researchers who are actively working in this area. The primary objective of the mailing list is to foster interaction and sharing of new research results, publications, conference announcements, and other useful information among researchers in this area. A partial list of topics of particular interest includes: Genetic Representation (Blueprints) of Neural Networks Encoding and Decoding of Network Blueprints Complexity issues Development models Learning models Representational Bias Efficiency Issues Properties of Representation Experimental Results Theoretical Considerations Details of operation of the mailing list follow: TO SUBSCRIBE: mail to gann-request@cs.iastate.edu with "Subject": subscribe TO UNSUBSCRIBE: mail to gann-request@cs.iastate.edu with "Subject": unsubscribe All administrative queries/enquiries/comments should be addressed to gann-request@cs.iastate.edu All articles/notes/replies-to-queries/submissions to the list should be sent to gann@cs.iastate.edu You will receive a welcoming message once you have been added to the list.
