Call for Papers
at The 17th International FLAIRS Conference (FLAIRS-2004)
In cooperation with The American Association
for Artificial Intelligence
May 17-19, 2004
The Palms South Beach Hotel
Miami Beach, FL
Call for Papers
The Machine Learning track at FLAIRS-2004 is intended to provide an international
forum for discussing the latest results in the area of Machine Learning
(ML). It will be organized within the framework of the FLAIRS conference
that traditionally brings together researchers and practitioners from a
wide range of AI related areas. As a core AI topic, ML always responds
to the general AI trends. The current AI developments related to Security
and to the World Wide Web are no exception. Accordingly the track will
focus on modern ML approaches to Security, Agent and Web related learning.
All traditional ML approaches will also be included.
Specifically we invite submissions that fall within the following topics:
Abduction, Analogy, Agent learning, Applications of machine learning, Automated
knowledge acquisition, Computational learning theory, Conceptual clustering,
Explanation-based learning, Function approximation, Inductive logic programming,
Instance-based learning, Instructable agents, Learning from relational
data, Knowledge intensive learning, Machine learning of natural language,
Machine learning for security, Mixed-initiative learning, Multi-agent learning,
Multistrategy learning, Ontology learning, Reinforcement learning, Statistical
approaches, Web related learning.
Along with the Security, Agent and Web learning, papers describing real-life
applications of ML are especially encouraged. High quality papers in any
other area of Machine Learning are also welcomed.
Papers related to Planning, Problem Solving and Scheduling may better
fit into another special track at FLAIRS-2004, Machine Learning for AI
Planning, Problem Solving, and Scheduling (check the FLAIRS-2004 special
track page for more information about this track).
Submission Guidelines
Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI
formatting guidelines. The papers should not exceed 6 pages and are
due by October 24, 2003. Please note the change from 5 to 6 pages from
the first CFP. Additional pages (7 and more) have to be cleared by the
program chairs and will be $100 each. The papers should not identify the
author(s) in any manner. Authors should indicate the special track if one
exists that closely matches the topic of their paper. All submissions will
be done electronically via the FLAIRS web submission system available through
the paper submission site at http://earth.cs.ccsu.edu/~flairs/submission.html.
Conference Proceedings
Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings which will be published by AAAI Press. Selected authors
will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a special
issue of the International
Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) to be published in
2005.
