** Call for Papers **
AISTATS 2005
Tenth International Workshop on
Artificial Intelligence and Statistics
January 6-8, 2005, The Savannah Hotel, Barbados
http://www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/aistats/
** Submission Deadline: September 14, 2004 **
This is the tenth workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics,
an interdisciplinary gathering of researchers at the intersection of
computer science, statistics, and related areas. Since its inception
in 1985, the primary goal of this workshop has been to broaden
research in both of these fields by promoting the exchange of ideas
between them. We encourage the submission of all papers which are in
keeping with this objective.
Presentations will include invited talks, contributed talks, and
posters. Papers for poster sessions will be treated equally
with papers for presentation in publications.
Papers on all aspects of the interface between AI & Statistics are
strongly encouraged, including but not limited to
Active learning and experimental design
Approximate Inference
Automated data analysis
Bayesian networks
Bayesian statistics
Causal modelling
Density Estimation
Error correcting codes
Information retrieval
Game theory
Cluster analysis and unsupervised learning
Graphical models
Integrated man-machine modeling methods
Interpretability in modelling
Kernel methods
Knowledge discovery in databases
Machine learning
Metadata and the design of statistical data bases
Model uncertainty, multiple models
Online learning
Pattern recognition
Prediction: classification and regression
Probabilistic neural networks
