CALL FOR PAPERS Workhop on Supervised and Unsupervised Ensemble Methods and Their Applications
Dear colleague, we are pleased to invite you to submit a paper to the workshop
Supervised and Unsupervised Ensemble Methods and Their Applications
(SUEMA 2008), that will be held in the context of the European
Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2008) in Patras.
This second edition, organized within the PASCAL2 (Pattern Analysis,
Statistical Modelling and Computational Learning) European Network of
Excellence, intends to provide a forum for researchers in the field of
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to discuss topics related
to ensemble methods and their applications.
New trends and challenges in the theory and methods of ensembles of
learning machines will be discussed, with a particular focus on the
application of principled ensemble methods to emerging real-life
problems.
More information about the topics of the workshop are available at the
workshop web-site: http://suema08.dsi.unimi.it
--- IMPORTANT DATES
Submission 20th April 2008 Notification 10th May 2008 Camera Ready 26th May 2008
--- Submission of papers
The style for SUEMA 2008 papers is the same of the main conference
ECAI 2008. The maximum length is 5 pages (double columns). For Latex
users the necessary files can be downloaded from:
http://www.ece.upatras.gr/ecai2008/documents/ecai2008.zip.
The authors should submit the papers by e-mail to the workshop chairs
Oleg Okun (oleg [at] ee [dot] oulu [dot] fi) and Giorgio Valentini (valentini [at] dsi [at] unimi [at] it).
--- Workshop proceedings
Each workshop participant will receive a hardcopy of the proceedings
of the workshop (s)he participates, as well as a CD with the
proceedings of all ECAI'08 workshops. We are managing to publish
workshop extended papers in an edited book, as for the 1st SUEMA
workshop (that will be published by Springer-Verlag).
--- Registration
Partcipants to the workshop should register directly to the main ECAI
2008 conference (workshops' early registration deadline is set to 16
June 2008)
------ Main topics
The main topics of the conference include (but not are limited to):
New ensemble methods raised from new real world supervised and
unsupervised learning problems
Application of ensemble methods in various branches of science
and technology: bioinformatics, medical informatics, computer
security, economics, ecology, meteorology and weather forecast,
image analysis and signal processing, satellite image analysis.
Fusion of multiple-source/multi-sensor data
Unsupervised ensemble methods for discovering structures in
unlabeled real data
Unsupervised ensemble approaches to assess the
reliability/validity of clusters discovered in real data
Combination techniques and methods to generate multiple base
learners from different features and data
Dynamic member selection for including into an ensemble
Heterogeneous ensembles of base learners
Variants of re-sampling-based methods (bagging, boosting)
Ensemble methods for supervised multi-class classification and
regression
Supervised and unsupervised ensemble methods for structured
domains
