FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on Support Vector Machines - IJCAI '99
2 August, 1999 Stockholm, Sweden
http://www.clrc.rhbnc.ac.uk/ijcai/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the final call for papers for the Support Vector Machine workshop
which is to be held at the International Joint Conference on Artificial
Intelligence on the 2 August 1999.
The workshop will encourage collaboration between interested parties, and
provide an environment which achieves
the following goals:
* To attain an overview of recent work in the field of Support Vector
machines including theory and applications.
* To explore connections with other methods.
* To identify directions and stimulate future research in the field of
learning.
It is our aim that the discussion among workshop participants will be
focussed on the following areas :
* Theory of the Support Vector Method
* Algorithms
* Experiments on Benchmark Data Sets
* Applications to real life problems
In particular, we expect active discussions about
* Mathematical foundations of the SV approach (such as optimisation theory).
* Performance bounds.
* Kernels - including spline kernels, ANOVA kernels, etc.
* Regularisation.
* Transduction.
* Applications to text categorisation (especially in connection with
the Internet), medical diagnosis, face recognition, etc.
The invited speakers include :
Vladimir Vapnik
Alexei Chervonenkis
