SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
Conference On Learning Theory (COLT 04)
Banff, Canada
July 1 - 4, 2004
http://learningtheory.org/colt2004
The Seventeenth Annual COLT (Conference on Learning Theory,
formerly Workshop on Computational Learning Theory) will be
held with ICML and UAI in Banff, Canada (see http://www.banff04.org).
We invite submissions of papers addressing the theoretical modeling
and analysis of all aspects of learning and empirical inference. We
strongly support a broad definition of learning theory, including
analysis of learning algorithms and their generalization ability,
computational complexity of learning, Bayesian analysis, statistical
mechanics of learning systems, optimisation procedures for learning,
inductive inference, Boolean function learning, inductive logic
programming, learning in planning and control, on-line learning and
relative loss bounds. We welcome theoretical papers about learning
that do not fit into the above categories. We are particularly
interested in papers that include viewpoints that are new to
the COLT community. While the primary focus of the conference is
theoretical, papers can be strengthened by the inclusion of relevant
experimental results. We also welcome experimental and algorithmic
papers provided they are relevant to the focus of the conference
by elucidating theoretical results in learning.
PAPER FORMAT: Submissions should include the title, authors'
names, postal and email addresses, indication if the paper is
intended for the kernel methods section and a 200-word summary of
the paper suitable for the conference program. They should be no
longer than 15 pages using the Springer LNCS style file (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Your paper should
include a clear definition of the theoretical model used and
a clear description of the results, as well as a discussion
of their significance, including comparison to other work.
Submit papers electronically in pdf or ps format (for details
see conference website).
OPEN PROBLEMS SESSION: We also invite submission of open
problems. These should be constrained to two pages using the same
formatting as for the full papers. There is a shorter reviewing
period for the open problems. Accepted contributions will be
allocated short presentation slots in a special open problems
session and will be allowed two pages each in the proceedings.
DATES:
Electronic submission of papers February 24
Electronic submission of two-page open problems April 2
Notification of acceptance or rejection April 16
Final submission of all papers (incl. LaTex files) April 27
