    CLNL'93 -- Call for Submissions
Computational Learning and Natural Learning
Provincetown, Massachusetts        10-12 September 1993

CLNL'93 is the fourth of an ongoing series of workshops designed to bring
together researchers from a diverse set of disciplines -- including
  computational learning theory, AI/machine learning,
  connectionist learning, statistics, and control theory --
to explore issues at the intersection of theoretical learning research and
natural learning systems.

Theme: To be useful, the learning methods used by our fields must be able
to handle the complications inherent in real-world tasks.  We therefore
encourage researchers to submit papers that discuss extensions to learning
systems that let them address issues such as:
  * handling many irrelevant features
  * dealing with large amounts of noise
  * inducing very complex concepts
  * mining enormous sets of data
  * learning over extended periods of time
  * exploiting large amounts of background knowledge
We welcome theoretical analyses, comparative studies of existing algorithms,
psychological models of learning in complex domains, and reports on relevant
new techniques.

Submissions: Authors should submit three copies of an abstract (100 words
or less) and a summary (2000 words or less) of original research to:
     CLNL'93 Workshop
         Learning Systems Department
     Siemens Corporate Research
     755 College Road East
     Princeton, NJ 08540-6632
by 30 June 1993.  We will also accept plain-text, stand-alone LaTeX
or Postscript submissions sent by electronic mail to
     [e-mail]

Each submission will be refereed by the workshop organizers and evaluated
based on its relevance to the theme, originality, clarity, and significance.
Copies of accepted abstracts will be distributed at the workshop, and
MIT Press has agreed to publish an edited volume that incorporates papers
from the meeting, subject to revisions and additional reviewing.

Invited Talks:
    Tom Dietterich   Oregon State University
    Ron Rivest       Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Leo Breiman      University of California, Berkeley
    Yann le Cun      Bell Laboratories

Important Dates:
        Deadline for submissions:          30 June 1993
        Notification of acceptance:        20 July 1993
    CLNL'93 Workshop:               10-12 September 1993

Organizing Committee:
    Russell Greiner, Steve Hanson, Stephen Judd, Pat Langley,
    Thomas Petsche, Ron Rivest, Tomaso Poggio

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

AAAI Symposium: Fall, 1993
Games: Playing, Planning,and Learning
===============================================================================


The symposium will provide a forum for exploring current research in
artificial intelligence and cognitive science that pertains to planning and
learning in game playing. The symposium will draw together researchers from
diverse disciplines as well as practitioners engaged in developing real game-
playing systems. Relevant disciplines include AI, cognitive science, computer
science, statistics, control theory, computational learning theory, economics,
mathematics, engineering, and others.

Particularly welcome is research on game playing that contributes to our
understanding of intelligence or is applicable to more than one game. Topics
include, but are not limited to: assessing and increasing the generality of
game-learning systems, computational implementations of mathematical game
analysis, counterplanning, evaluation function learning, feature discovery,
learning and using abstraction in game-playing, metareasoning, methodologies
for evaluating learning and planning, methods amenable to broader AI
problems, psychological theories and models of learning and planning in
games, reasoning and planning under uncertainty, reasoning under real-time
constraints, selective search, training paradigms for game-learning systems,
tradeoffs between learning and planning in games, utility issues in speedup
learning, interplay between AI and economic game theory in exploiting
compact representations of games for learning and planning.

The symposium will maintain a balance between theoretical issues and
descriptions of implemented systems to promote synergy between theory and
practice. Work in areas such as tutoring and commenting, which interacts with
game playing, is also welcome.

Preference will be given to completed research, but work in progress will be
considered. Each submission should include a cover letter with the name,
mailing address, email address, telephone number of all authors. Fax or
electronic submissions will not be accepted. Printed material must be in at
least 10 point type with one-inch margins. Those who wish to present their
work should submit six copies of a full paper, no more than 10 pages in
length, as well as six copies of a one-page statement of their relevant
research interests and their related publications, by June 4, 1993. Those who
attend without presenting work should submit six copies of a one-page
statement of their relevant research interests and their related publications
by June 4,1993. All submissions should be addressed to:
