The Fifth International Conference on Machine Learning
June 12-14, 1988
The University of Michigan
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Sponsored by:
the Cognitive Science and Machine Intelligence Laboratory of
The University of Michigan
With support from
American Association of Artificial Intelligence,
the ONR Computer Sciences Division and the ONR Cognitive Science Program.
In cooperation with
ACM/SIGART.
The Fifth International Conference on Machine Learning will be held at
the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, June 12-14 1988. The goal of
the conference is to bring together researchers from all areas of
machine learning in a open forum. This will be the first Machine
Learning Conference with open attendance.
The main focus of the conference will be the Technical Program.
Papers will be presented from all areas of machine learning,
including: empirical methods, explanation-based learning, genetic
algorithms, connectionist learning, discovery, and formal models of
learning. During the three days of the conference there will be 20
papers presented in plenary sessions. These talks will be based on
the papers accepted by the program committee following a stringent
review of 150 submitted papers. A poster session will be held during
the evening of June 12 to allow the attendees to discuss the 30 short
papers that were accepted for the conference. Plenty of free time is
reserved for informal meetings and discussions.
Three invited talks will be presented by experts in subareas of
machine learning:
David Haussler, University of California, Santa Cruz
Theoretical results in Machine Learning
Geoffery Hinton, University of Toronto
Connectionist Learning
John Holland, University of Michigan
Genetic Algorithms
These speakers will review the state-of-the-art in each subarea,
emphasizing current research topics and their relation to the broader
field of machine learning.
Registration material for the conference will be mailed out later this
month to all those that submitted papers as well as subscribers of the
Machine Learning journal. If you wish to receive registration
material and are not a submitter or a subscriber, send your address
