NIPS Workshop on Kernel Methods

We are happy to announce a NIPS workshop on kernel methods with the title New Perspectives in Kernel-based Learning Methods on December 1 or 2, 2000 in Breckenridge, CO (USA).

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 Cristianini. Detailed information can be found at the workshop website.
