I&ANN Independence and Artificial Neural Networks Workshop.
1. Independent Component Analysis which has most recently been successfully applied to the problem of "blind separation of sources" such as the recovery of a single voice from a mixture/convolution of voices. Such methods normally use either information theoretic criteria or higher order statistics to perform the separation. 2. Identification of independent sources: the seminal experiment in this field is the identification of single bars from an input grid containing mixtures of bars. Factor Analysis (or generative models) has been a recent popular method for this problem. 3. Using contextual information to identify structure in data. The regular registration fee for the EIS'98 symposium (February 11-13, 1998) is estimated at Ptas. 59,000 per person, but a reduction will be offered to workshop participants.

CogSci98 Twentieth Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society.
We are pleased to announce CogSci98, the Twentieth Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, to be held in Madison, Wisconsin, August 1-4, 1998. Because the field of cognitive science exists to promote cross-disciplinary integration of concepts, methods, epistemologies, and data, and the empirical and theoretical base of cognitive science can shed light on the nature of such an interdisciplinary enterprise, CogSci98 will focus on Interdisciplinarity. This focus will be manifested in the following four ways: First, one plenary session will be dedicated to the topic of interdisciplinarity. Second, several invited tutorial symposia designed to provide breadth of interest will be offered. Third, presentations from the Cognitive Science Society membership that address interdisciplinarity as an object of empirical and theoretical research are hereby encouraged for one strand of the conference program. And fourth, all submissions for spoken presentations (i.e., symposia and spoken papers) will be evaluated for their ability to transcend their disciplinary boundaries and truly address the breadth of the community of cognitive scientists, in addition to being evaluated for their technical and theoretical merit (see review criteria below); thus, more general papers and symposia will have a higher priority for scheduling on the spoken program, and more specialized topics will be assigned to poster sessions. This call solicits submissions for four forms of presentation:

International Workshop on Storage and Retrieval issues in Image and Multimedia Databases.
* Appropriate and efficient representation methods for images need to be
established.
* As these images and other multimedia objects are very large in size,
we need better models and techniques for compressing these objects.
* One of the most important aspects of image communications is the
quality of the image. The basic arbiter of image quality is the human
visual system. Due to the complexity of the human visual system, it is
hard to find an automated measure which accurately reflects human
judgement. Therefore, we need to define some measures which can be
used to evaluate the quality of an image more precisely.
* Better data structures have to be defined for storing and accessing
images efficiently.
* Proper query languages have to be designed and implemented for
retrieving images.
* Automatic object recognition techniques are needed to help in the
process of feature based image extraction.
* Images need to be classified into seperate groups in order to allow
for better query performance.

to the identification of business process shortcomings, and to the
specification of IT support requirements.
* Central prerequisite for IT support is the Organizational Memory (OM)
as the means for knowledge conservation, distribution, and reuse. It
enables organizational learning and continuous process improvement. An
OM has to meet a bunch of distinctive requirements and possible
solutions, which make it different from conventional knowledge-based
systems:

Papers and presentations should be based on systems developed (or in
progress) for real world use. Among the issues that might be of interest
in such a presentation we would expect to find the following:
-- What characteristics of the domain and the application lead to your choice
of solution method? What alternative methods were considered and rejected?
Were these choices revisited (and revised?) at some later point?
-- What difficulties did you encounter? Which ones were expected? Unexpected?
-- What was the final outcome? What qualifications or modifications of the
original statement of the problem or system requirements were made?
-- What lessons can be drawn from this experience, regarding:
+++ domains where particular AI techniques are or aren't useful?
+++ how to go about determining the utility of a technique in a new
domain?
+++ pitfalls to beware in system design, implementation, etc., that are
peculiar to intelligent systems?

AIMS:
The aim of this school is to present the experiments,
the theories and the perspectives of acoustic phonetics,
as well as to discuss recent results in the speech literature.
The school aims to provide a background for further
study in many of the fields related to speech science
and linguistics, including automatic speech recognition.
The school will bring together leading researchers
and selected students in the field of speech science
and technology to discuss and disseminate the latest techniques.
The school is devoted to an international audience and
in particular to all students and scientists who are
working on some aspects of speech and want to learn other
aspects of this discipline.
THE PLACE
Vietri (from "Veteri", its ancient Roman name) sul Mare ("on sea")
is located within walking distance from Salerno and marks the
beginning of the Amalfi coast. Short rides take to Positano, Sorrento,
Pompei, Herculaneum, Paestum, Vesuvius, or by boat, the islands of
Capri, Ischia, and Procida. Velia (the ancient "Elea" of Zeno and
Parmenide) is a hundred kilometers farther down along the coast.

Workshop on Applied Learning Theory.
Algorithmic Learning Theory emerged roughly 30 years ago but real applications of it are still rare. This workshop aims to stimulate fruitful discussions between people working on real applications and in theory. Ideally, people in theory should benefit by learning about challenging research problems which arose in practice, and people in application may benefit by getting answers to their problems from theoreticians. We therefore kindly invite: - people who are studying applications of algorithmic learning theory to a real domain, - people who are using empirical learning techniques and who are interested in a formal analysis of their techniques, - people who have problems which might be solved using machine learning techniques.

Computer-based link analysis is increasingly used in law enforcement investigations, fraud detection, telecommunications network analysis, pharmaceuticals research, epidemiology, and many other specialized applications. Link analysis explores associations among large numbers of objects of different types. For example, a law enforcement application might examine familial relationships among suspects and victims, the addresses at which those persons reside, and the telephone numbers that they called during a specified period. The ability of link analysis to represent relationships and associations among objects of different types has proven crucial in assisting human investigators to comprehend complex webs of evidence and draw conclusions that are not apparent from any single piece of information.
