SUMMER SCHOOL NN2008
NEURAL NETWORKS in CLASSIFICATION, REGRESSION and DATA MINING
July 7-11, 2008, Porto, Portugal
=============================================================
http://www.nn.isep.ipp.pt email: nn-2008@isep.ipp.pt
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Summer School will be held at Porto, Portugal, jointly organized
by the Polytechnic School of Engineering of Porto (ISEP) and the
Faculty of Engineering, Porto University (FEUP).
Following last year experience, this year's edition also includes a
POSTER/WORKSHOP SESSION providing a discussion forum where the
participants can obtain peer guidance for their projects.
[...]
COURSE CONTENTS
Neural networks (NN) have become a very important tool in
classification and regression tasks. The applications are nowadays
abundant, e.g. in the engineering, economy and biology areas. The
Summer School on NN is dedicated to explain relevant NN paradigms,
namely multilayer perceptrons (MLP), radial basis function networks
(RBF) and support vector machines (SVM) used for classification and
regression tasks, illustrated with applications to real data.
Specific topics are also presented, namely Multi-Valued and UB
Neurons , Functional Networks , MLP's with Entropic Criteria and Data
Mining using NN.
Classes include practical sessions with appropriate software tools.
The trainee has, therefore, the opportunity to apply the taught
concepts and become conversant with a broad range of NN topics and
applications. A special workshop session will provide a discussion
forum where the participants can obtain peer guidance for their projects.
PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME
A preliminary programme and further information about the classes are
available at the school webpage (http://www.nn.isep.ipp.pt)

UPDATED CALL FOR PAPERS: KR 2008
Eleventh International Conference on
Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Sydney, Australia, September 16 - 19, 2008
Collocated with NMR-08, ICAPS-08, CP-08
The single registration fee includes attendance
to most events for all conferences
<http://www.kr.org/KR2008/>http://www.kr.org/KR2008/
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R) is
a vibrant and exciting field of human endeavour.
KR&R techniques are key drivers of innovation in
computer science, and they have led to
significant advances in practical applications in
a wide range of areas from Artificial Intelligence to Software Engineering.
Explicit representations of knowledge manipulated
by reasoning engines are an integral and crucial
component of intelligent systems. Semantic Web
technologies, the design of software agents and
Bio-Informatics technologies, in particular,
provide significant challenges for KR&R.
We intend KR2008 to be a forum for the exchange
of new ideas, issues, and results among the
community of researchers in the principles and
practices of KR&R systems. We encourage papers
presenting substantial new results in the
principles of KR&R systems that clearly
contribute to the formal foundations or show the
applicability of the results to implemented or
implementable systems. We also encourage
``reports from the field" of building knowledge
bases, applications, experiments, developments,
and tests. Such papers should be explicitly
identified as reports from the field by the
authors, to ensure appropriate reviewing, and
should include a section on evaluation.
Papers must be submitted in AAAI style (pdf only)
<<http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php>http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php>
Paper length is 7 pages maximum including title,
author information and references. Authors may
add to the paper an optional, clearly marked
Appendix containing technical material (such as
proofs, evaluation results etc.) supporting
claims made in the paper. The Appendix must not
exceed 2 additional pages in AAAI style. The
evaluation of the submission will be based on the
quality of the paper. The optional Appendix will
be used in case reviewers are in doubt about claimed results.
Submission will be through the Easychair conference management system
<http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=KR-2008>http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=KR-2008
Conference proceedings will be published by AAAI
Press. Final versions of papers will be
considerably longer than the submissions: for
each accepted paper 11 pages in AAAI style will
be allocated in the proceedings.
Topics of interest include:
- Exception tolerant and inconsistency-tolerant reasoning,
Paraconsistent logics
- Nonmonotonic logics, Default logics, Conditional logics, Argumentation
- Temporal and spatial reasoning
- Causal reasoning, Abduction, Model-based diagnosis
- Reasoning about action and change, Action languages, Situation calculus,
Dynamic logic
- Reasoning, planning, or decision making under uncertainty
- Representations of vagueness, Many-valued and fuzzy logics
- Graphical representations for belief and preference
- Reasoning about belief and knowledge, Epistemic and doxastic logics,

Subject: CFP: E-Criticism: New Critical
Methods and Modalities, Modern Language Association
The Modern Language Association's Committee on Information Technology
invites proposals on the topic of "E-Criticism: New Critical Methods
and Modalities" for the 2008 convention to be held in San Francisco
27-30 December 2008 <http://www.mla.org/convention>.
This poster session will focus on presenting new forms of literary
criticism that utilize the expressive and computational capability of
the computer via new models, paradigms, and tools. Proposals are
especially welcome that explore new forms of criticism via
multimedia, text encoding, virtual realities, and datamining.
350-word abstracts by 15 March to Susan Schreibman <sschreib@ umd
.edu>. All presenters must be members in good standing of the MLA by
April 2008. In some cases wavers can be sought for presenters who are
not in the field of modern languages or literary studies. The MLA
will supply poster boards and 25" screens for each presenter.

Session Digital Heritage and Global Realities: Responses from Africa and the Arab World This session will present the emerging digital documentation of heritage and archaeological sites in the developing world. Focusing on the role the 'global north' play in the provision of expertise and appropriate training in the digital documentation of cultural heritage, as well as the role governments, international scholarly networks, and individual researchers are playing in the digitization of African and Arab cultural heritage and archaeological sites. A number of initiatives will be shared and evaluated for their impact on the communities they seek to serve. These initiatives will also be examined as potential models for future collaboration, involvement, and innovation.
