NEW PERSPECTIVES IN KERNEL-BASED LEARNING METHODS December 1 or 2, 2000 Breckenridge, CO (USA) http://www.dcs.rhbnc.ac.uk/colt/nips2000.html Co-chairs: Nello Cristianini, John Shawe-Taylor, Bob Williamson Royal Holloway, University of London and Australian National University The aim of the workshop is to present new perspectives and new directions in kernel methods for machine learning. In particular, it will focus on: 1) design of novel kernel-based algorithms 2) design of novel types of kernel functions 3) development of new learning theory concepts 4) application of the techniques to new problem areas Extended abstracts may be submitted before October 30th to nello@dcs.rhbnc.ac.uk Detailed information: http://www.dcs.rhbnc.ac.uk/colt/nips2000.html
