*****************************************************************
*** ML93 Workshop on Fielded Applications of Machine Learning ***
*****************************************************************
This meeting will emphasize fielded applications of machine learning that
are now in regular use. Invited talks will focus on the application domain,
the formulation of the learning problem, any representational engineering
required for successful results, the community of users for the application,
and measures of the application's usefulness -- but they will downplay
differences among the specific learning methods employed. There will be
considerable time for open discussion.
Note: If you are interested in specific talks, please feel free to join the
workshop for that presentation, even if you are registered for one
occurring in parallel.
Sponsors: U.S. Office of Naval Research
Institute for the Study of Learning and Expertise

Subject: CLNL'93 - Revised Schedule and General Info
Re: deadlines for Computational Learning and Natural Learning (CLNL'93)
Due to popular requests, we have decided to extend the deadline for CLNL'93
submission by one week, until 7/July/93. Below is the revised call for
papers, with updated "Important Dates" and "Programme Committee" entries,
as well as general registration information.
We look forward to receiving your papers, and also hope that you
will attend the workshop this September!

(Chair, CLNL'93)
PS: People who plan to attend this workshop are still strongly encouraged
to register by 30/June.

CLNL'93 __ Call for Submissions
Computational Learning and Natural Learning
Provincetown, Massachusetts
10-12 September 1993
CLNL'93 is the fourth of an ongoing series of workshops designed to bring
together researchers from a diverse set of disciplines ___ including
computational learning theory, AI/machine learning,
connectionist learning, statistics, and control theory ___
to explore issues at the intersection of theoretical learning research
and natural learning systems.
Theme:
To be useful, the learning methods used by our fields must be able
to handle the complications inherent in real-world tasks. We therefore
encourage researchers to submit papers that discuss extensions to
learning systems that let them address issues such as:
* handling many irrelevant features
* dealing with large amounts of noise
* inducing very complex concepts
* mining enormous sets of data
* learning over extended periods of time
* exploiting large amounts of background knowledge
We welcome theoretical analyses, comparative studies of existing algorithms,
psychological models of learning in complex domains, and reports on relevant
new techniques.
Submissions:
Authors should submit three copies of an abstract (100 words or less) and a
summary (2000 words or less) of original research to:
CLNL'93 Workshop
Learning Systems Department
Siemens Corporate Research
755 College Road East
Princeton, NJ 08540-6632
by 30 June 1993. We will also accept plain-text, stand-alone LaTeX
or Postscript submissions sent by electronic mail to
clnl93@learning.scr.siemens.com
Each submission will be refereed by the workshop organizers and evaluated
based on its relevance to the theme, originality, clarity, and significance.
Copies of accepted abstracts will be distributed at the workshop, and
MIT Press has agreed to publish an edited volume that incorporates papers
from the meeting, subject to revisions and additional reviewing.
Invited Talks:
Tom Dietterich Oregon State University
Ron Rivest Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Leo Breiman University of California, Berkeley
Yann le Cun Bell Laboratories
Important Dates:
Deadline for submissions: 7 July 1993
Notification of acceptance: 27 July 1993
CLNL'93 Workshop: 10-12 September 1993
Programme Committee:
Andrew Barron, Russell Greiner, Steve Hanson, Robert Holte,
Michael Jordan, Stephen Judd, Pat Langley, Thomas Petsche,
Tomaso Poggio, Ron Rivest, Eduardo Sontag, Steve Whitehead

General Information
Dates:
The workshop officially begins at 9am Friday 10/Sept, and concludes by 3pm
Sunday 12/Sept, in time to catch the 3:30pm Provincetown-Boston ferry.
Location:
All sessions will take place in the Provincetown Inn (800 942-5388). We
encourage registrants to stay there; please sign up in the enclosed
registration form. Notice the $74/night does correspond to $37/person per
night double-occupancy, if two people share one room.
Cost:
The cost to attend this workshop is $50/person in general; $25/student.
This includes
* attendance at all presentation and poster sessions, including the four
invited talks;
* the banquet dinner on Saturday night; and
* a copy of the accepted abstracts.
Transportation:
Provincetown is located at the very tip of Cape Cod, jutting into the
Atlantic Ocean. The drive from Boston to Provincetown requires
approximately two hours. There is also a daily ferry (run by Bay State
Cruise Lines, 617 723-7800) that leaves Commonwealth Pier in Boston Harbor
at 9:30am and arrives in Provincetown at 12:30pm; the return trip departs
Provincetown at 3:30pm, arriving at Commonwealth Pier at 6:30pm. Its cost
is $15/person, one way. There are also cabs, busses and commuter airplanes
(CapeAir, 800 352-0714) that service this Boston-Provincetown route.
Reception (Tentative):
If there is sufficient interest (as indicated by signing up on the form
below), we will hold a reception on a private ferry that leaves Commonwealth
Pier for Provincetown at 6:30pm 9/Sept. The additional (Siemens-subsidized)
cost for ferry and reception is $40/person, which also includes the return
Provincetown-Boston ferry trip on 12/Sept. You must sign up by 30/June;
we will announce by 13/July whether this private ferry will be used (and
refund the money otherwise).
