Cornell University
Ithaca, New York; U.S.A.
June 29 - July 1, 1989
The Sixth International Workshop on Machine Learning will be
held at Cornell University from June 29 through July 1, 1989.
The workshop will be divided into six parallel sessions, each
focusing on a different theme:
Combining Empirical and Explanation-Based Learning (_M. _P_a_z_z_a_n_i,
_c_h_a_i_r). Both empirical evaluation and theoretical analysis have
been used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of
individual learning methods. Integrated approaches to learning
have the potential of overcoming the limitations of individual
methods. Papers are solicited exploring hybrid techniques
involving, for example, explanation-based learning, case-based
reasoning, constructive induction, or neural networks.
Empirical Learning; Theory and Application (_C. _S_a_m_m_u_t, _c_h_a_i_r).
This session will be devoted to discussions on inductive (also
called empirical) learning with particular emphasis on results
that can be justified by theory or experimental evaluation.
Papers should characterize methodologies (either formally or
experimentally), their performance and/or problems for which
they are well/ill suited. Comparative studies applying
different methodologies to the same problem are also invited.
Learning Plan Knowledge (_S. _C_h_i_e_n _a_n_d _G. _D_e_J_o_n_g, _c_o-_c_h_a_i_r_s).
This session will explore machine learning of plan-related
knowledge; specifically, learning to construct, index, and
recognize plans by using explanation-based, empirical, case-
based, analogical, and connectionist approaches.
Knowledge-Base Refinement and Theory Revision (_A. _G_i_n_s_b_e_r_g,
_c_h_a_i_r). Knowledge-base refinement involves the discovery of
plausible refinements to a knowledge base in order to improve
the breadth and accuracy of the associated expert system. More
generally, theory revision is concerned with systems that start
out having some domain theory, but one that is incomplete and
fallible. Two basic problems are how to use an imperfect
theory to guide one in learning more about the domain as more
experience accumulates, and how to use the knowledge so gained
to revise the theory in appropriate ways.
Incremental Learning (_D. _F_i_s_h_e_r, _c_h_a_i_r, _w_i_t_h _J. _G_r_e_f_e_n_s_t_e_t_t_e, _J.
_S_c_h_l_i_m_m_e_r, _R. _S_u_t_t_o_n, _a_n_d _P. _U_t_g_o_f_f). Incremental learning
requires continuous adaptation to the environment subject to
performance constraints of timely response, environmental
assumptions such as noise or concept drift, and knowledge base
limitations. Papers that cross traditionally disparate
paradigms are highly encouraged, notably rule-based,
connectionist, and genetic learning; explanation-based and
inductive learning; procedure and concept learning;
psychological and computational theories of learning; and
belief revision, bounded rationality, and learning.
Representational Issues in Machine Learning (_D. _S_u_b_r_a_m_a_n_i_a_n,
_c_h_a_i_r). This session will study representational practice in
machine learning in order to understand the relationship
between inference (inductive and deductive) and choice of
representation. Present-day learners depend on careful
vocabulary engineering for their success. What is the nature
of the contribution representation makes to learning, and how
can we make learners design/redesign hypotheses languages
automatically? Papers are solicited in areas including, but not
limited to, bias, representation change and reformulation, and
knowledge-level analysis of learning algorithms.

Each workshop session is limited to between 30 and 50
participants. In order to meet this size constraint, attendance
at the workshop is by invitation only. If you are active in
machine learning and you are interested in receiving an
invitation, we encourage you to submit a short vita (including
relevant publications) and a one-page _r_e_s_e_a_r_c_h _s_u_m_m_a_r_y describing

BULLETIN N.I
Dear Colleague,
The ever increasing complexity of high energy and nuclear physics
experiments is now in an accelerating phase with the LEP detectors
and the planned LHC, SSC, UNK,.. experiments.
Physics simulations, equipment designs, detector and accelerator control,
on-line data taking and data analysis, all computing related activities
absorb a huge part of the financial and manpower resources of these
experiments.
Recently developed techniques of software management and expert systems
have become an essential ingredient of the success of current and
forthcoming "big" experiments.
However, these techniques and methods, to be efficient, have to be
integrated properly into our environment and well accepted and
endorsed by the community.
We are organizing an International Workshop dedicated to these topics:
" Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems
for Nuclear and High Energy Physics "
The goals of this workshop are essentially threefold:
1) To present reports on recent applications or developments of these
techniques in Nuclear and High Energy Physics.
2) To update and improve our knowledge on these techniques by inviting
the best experts on software engineering and expert systems.
3) To foster collaboration across various H.E.P. and N.P. experiments
and other physics fields, on specific subjects of importance for our
domain.

CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
I am chairing a session on the topic of DISTRIBUTED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE at
a conference in Copenhagen on June 17th. - 19th. 1991. The session is part of
the European Simulation Multiconference (ESM'91).
This multi-conference consists of six simultaneous conferences and the DAI
session is to be included in a conference called `Parallel and Distributed
Processing'.
I am asking for papers on ANY aspect of DAI but those concerned directly with
parallelism and/or simulation in DAI will be particularly welcome. I would
like the theme of the session to be oriented towards the agent metaphor and in
particular the interactions between agents, and between them and their
environment.
Unfortunately (for reasons outside my control) the first deadline is very
close. Please send extended abstracts to me (see below) by Dec. 1st. 1990.
These abstracts will be refereed and used to select the final papers. They
should be about two pages long and calculated to allow as good an evaluation of
the work to be described in the final paper as is possible in an abstract. If
you need any more information do not hesitate to contact me by any of the
usual methods (addresses below) and I will do my best to help.
I am sorry about the haste but you still have time to produce an abstract. The
full timetable is as follows:
Extended abstracts 1/12/90 To be refereed.
Notification of aceptance 15/1/91 Advice and author's kit sent out.
Final papers 20/3/91 Final review
Conference 17/6/91 - 19/6/91 Copenhagen, Denmark.
I hope very much to receive your contribution within the next two weeks.

Focus of the Workshop Situation awareness, or situation assessment , are terms from the military computing literature. One definition is the knowledge, understanding, cognition and anticipation of events, factors, and variables affecting the safe, expedient and effective conduct of a mission". The problem of situation awareness is larger than C3I applications. The description above is equally appropriate to a fireman at the site of a fire, or a foreign currency trader as to the management of a a naval battle group or the control of a single tactical aircraft. Consider the specific example the phases of air combat:- a) Detection b) Classification c) Recognition/Identification d) Inference of Intention e) Threat Assessment f) Generate Tactical Options g) Evaluate and Select Options h) Execute Options i) Monitor and Evaluate Effectiveness j) Iterate on (d) If we substitute the word opportunity for threat, we have a model for business activity. The fourth step, Inference of Intention, is the activity which distinguishes this activity from simpler diagnosis- action systems; there are other agents in the environment. Situation awareness embraces a number of underlying technologies. It is somewhere between pattern classification and recognition on the one hand, and planning and plan repair on the other. It involves models of non- cooperative communication. Situation awareness has been tackled as a situated task-specific activity rather than a generic activity. This meeting seeks to provide an opportunity for workers from a range of disciplines and application domain projects to interact and address generic rather than domain specific issues. Accordingly we ask interested workers to submit papers focussed upon situation wareness in the context of the overall process rather than describing the application of a particular technology. 2.

PRAGMATICS AND COGNITION

Benny Shanon, Psychology, Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel)
Stephen Stich, Cognitive Science, Rutgers University (U.S.A.)

Assistant Editors: Itiel Dror, Edson Francozo, Amir Horowitz
Publisher: John Benjamins, B.V. (Amsterdam)
Purpose and Scope:
A new journal, especially an interdisciplinary one, helps to
shape a new research niche, carved out by a critical mass of work
already in the making, but which has not so far found an adequate
vehicle of diffusion and crystallization. The niche PRAGMATICS
AND COGNITION has identified, and purports to develop, lies at
the intersection between two rapidly expanding areas of
research: pragmatics and cognitive science.
Each of these disciplines is concerned with one of the two most
important kinds of (human) activity -- the use of symbols and the
performance of mental operations. Though the interdependence
between these activities has been often asserted and discussed,
it has not so far received the kind of systematic attention and
specific research it well deserves. Pragmatics has been mostly
concerned with accounting for the communicative use of language
and other semiotic systems, taking for granted (or simply
ignoring) its mental underpinnings. Cognitive Science has been
mainly concerned either with the grand issue of mental
architecture or with detailed analyses of certain mental
processes, without focusing on their pragmatic aspects. But
researchers in both areas have again and again stumbled against
the need for interrelating systematically semiotic and mental
activity, and they have quite often developed fruitful ideas on
how to go about doing it. It is this body of research and ideas
that PRAGMATICS AND COGNITION seeks to foster, by creating a
dedicated space for its critical discussion and development.
PRAGMATICS AND COGNITION is interested in the interrelations
between the use of any semiotic system by any being and that
being's `inner life'.
Its scope covers a wide variety of semiotic
systems (natural languages, computer languages, writing, gesture,
facial expression, etc.), as used by humans, animals and
machines, in connection with a broad range of `mental' activities
(pattern recognition, problem solving, sensation, emotion,
fantasy, interpretation of experience, hallucination, dreaming,
understanding, humor, creativity, mental modeling,
conceptualization, aesthetic pleasure, etc.). The journal seeks
to explore relations of all sorts between the former and the
latter: logical and causal dependence; conditions of acquisition,
development or loss; modeling, simulation and formalization;
shared or separate biological and neurological basis; social
etc.
It goes without saying that, given its scope, PRAGMATICS AND
COGNITION must be an interdisciplinary journal. Among the
disciplines whose separate paths it seeks to bring together,
Philosophy, Psychology, Linguistics, Semiotics, Cognitive
Science, Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, Ethology, and
Cognitive Anthropology. But this is not, of course, an exhaustive
list. Contributions steming from any discipline, relevant to the
Technical information:
Initially the journal will be published twice a year (in May and
November). Each volume will contain approximately 400 pages. The
first issue is scheduled for May 1992.
Authors should send 4 copies of manuscripts, in English, to the
Editor. Only original manuscripts, not yet published elsewhere
nor under consideration for publication elsewhere will be
considered. Final versions of the manuscript should be supplied
in both hard copy and disc, preferably on WordPerfect format, IBM
compatible. Use of other wordprocessors requires previous consent
by the editor. Manuscripts should conform to the journal's
specifications, which can be obtained upon request. They should
contain a 400 word abstract. Name, address, institutional
affiliation of the author(s), and e-mail address should be
written in a separate title page. All manuscripts will be
refereed.
