Benelearn is the annual machine learning conference of Belgium and
The Netherlands. It serves as a forum for researchers in this field to
exchange ideas and present recent work. The official language of the
conference is English. Benelearn 2005 will be organized by the Human
Media Interaction (HMI) Group of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering,
Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) at the University of Twente
in the Netherlands.

Benelearn wants to broaden its focus to disciplines that are closely
related to Machine Learning. Therefore, we invite papers relevant to
machine learning and related disciplines in the broadest sense,
especially papers that cross borders between disciplines, for example
in bioinformatics and machine learning in multi-modal interaction.
Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to:

  Kernel Methods                     Decision-Theoretic Planning
  Bayesian Networks                  Case-based Learning
  Computational Learning Theory      Data Mining
  Evolutionary Computation           Hybrid Learning Systems
  Graphical Models                   Inductive Learning
  Inductive Logic Programming        Knowledge Discovery in Databases
  Language Learning                  Learning and Problem Solving
  Learning by Analogy                Learning in Multi-Agent Systems
  Learning in Dynamic Domains        Learning to/for Search
  Multistrategy Learning             Neural Networks
  Reinforcement Learning             Robot Learning
  Scientific Discovery               Meta-Learning
  Statistical Methods                Probabilistic Logic Learning
  Applications of Machine Learning, e.g.
     Bioinformatics
     Multi-Modal Interaction
     Speech & Language Processing
     Robotics
     Web/Link Mining
     Computer Games

Papers are limited to 8 pages (using a 11pt Times Roman font),
including figures, title page, references, and appendices. Style files
can be downloaded from the conference web site. The papers will be
primarily refereed on their relevance to the conference, and according
to clarity and overall quality criteria.
