This is a Reminder: Deadline for submitting to COLT'91. The 4th Workshop on Computational Learning Theory will be held at Santa Cruz, CA, August 5-7, 1991. The deadline for submitting the paper is Feb. 15, 1991, FIRM. In previous years COLT has focused primarily on developments in the analysis of learning algorithms within certain computational learning models. This year COLT would like to widen the scope of the workshop by encouraging papers in all areas that relate directly to the theory of machine learning, including artificial and biological neural networks, robotics, pattern recognition, information theory, decision theory, Bayesian/MDL estimation, and cryptography. We look forward to a lively, interdisciplinary meeting. There will be two special invited talks. (1) ``Gambling, Inference and Data Compression" Prof. Tom Cover, Stanford (2) ``The Role of Learning in Autonomous Robots" Prof. Rodney Brooks, MIT Authors should submit 11 copies of extended abstract (with a cover page with title, authors' names, addresses (with e-mail), a 200 word summary, body not longer than 10 pages) to L.G. Valiant, COLT '91, Aiken Computing Laboratory, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. 02138. Program committee includes: Leslie Valiant (Harvard, chair), Dana Angluin (Yale), Andrew Barron (U. Illinois), Eric Baum (NEC), Tom Dietterich (Oregon State U.), Mark Fulk (U. Rochester), Alon Itai (Technion), Michael Kearns (Int. Comp. Sci. Inst.), Ron Rivest (MIT), Naftali Tishby (Bell Labs), Manfred Warmuth (UCSC).
