BENELEARN. Research on Machine Learning in Belgium and the Netherlands. Organized at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). On 12 January 1990, a one-day meeting entitled BENELEARN, Research on Machine Learning in Belgium and the Netherlands, will be organized. The focus of the meeting will be on knowledge-based learning and not on connectionist approaches. The ojectives of this meeting are two-fold : (1) to make different research groups active in the field of Machine Learing aware of the research activities of other centers within close range and (2) to pass on information regarding these activities to other research sites and laboratories involved with or interested in Artificial Intelligence. Yves Kodratoff (CNRS France and George Mason USA) and/or Katharina Morik (GMD Western-Germany) will probably give a talk on this occasion. Furthermore, presentations will be given by Belgian and Dutch researchers active in the field of Machine Learning. There will be presentations of two different forms : short and general overviews of Machine Learning research at certain institutes and longer, more technical presentations of particular approaches. People interested in presenting their work or giving an overview of Machine Learning activities at their institute should con- tact Luc De Raedt before 1 December 1989 (preferably by email).
