ECML'01 and PKDD'01
Joint Call for Tutorial Proposals
*** Deadline for proposals: February 28, 2001 ***
12th European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML'01)
5th European Conference on Principles and Practice
of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (PKDD'01)
http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~ml/ecmlpkdd/
September 3-7, 2001, Freiburg, Germany
Joint Call for Tutorial Proposals
We hope this is not just another call for tutorials.
It's the first time, world-wide, that two major events
in Machine Learning and Data Mining are co-located.
This is an unprecedented opportunity to make each
community aware of the research priorities and the
resources developed in the sister community.
With this joint call, we invite proposals for tutorials
surveying mature work in the learning and mining areas,
presenting emerging approaches or challenging
applications, and introducing potential users to the
mining and learning methodologies.
Especially welcome are tutorials addressing one of the
following topics (non-exhaustive list):
- how to integrate the user in the learning and mining
loop (ranging from background knowledge specifications
to visual tools, including interestingness and cost-
sensitive aspects);
- how to handle applicative requirements and particular
data structures (textual information, temporal series,
biological sequences, meta-data, inductive logic
programming, applications);
- how to ensure robustness (Bayesian approaches,
regularization, support vector machines, feature
reduction, extraction); how to construct and handle
distributions (randomized algorithms, boosting,
reinforcement learning, evolutionary computation);
- how to evaluate the results ...
Tutorials will take place during Sept. 3-4 (in parallel
to ECML'01) and Sept. 6-7 (in parallel to PKDD'01).
They will be freely accessible to participants of both
conferences. Tutorial notes will be put on the Web site
of the conference by mid-October 2001.

Timetable
Deadline for proposals: February 28, 2001
Notification of acceptance: March 16, 2001
Tutorial summary: May 1, 2001
Tutorial notes (camera and Web-ready): July 27, 2001
Submission
The tutorial proposal must contain:
- a short description of the tutorial (1 paragraph)
- a tutorial syllabus (1 page)
- a description of the target audience, including
prerequisites and whether the tutorial is mostly aimed
at ML or KDD people, if relevant
- motivations of relevance to the conference(s) themes
- a short resume of the presenter(s), with address and
evidence for research and teaching experience
What a tutorial should NOT be: promotion of the presenter's
work; promotion of a product.
Proposals should be sent (electronic form preferred) to both:
