Call for Workshop Participation ACAI-99 WORKSHOP Support Vector Machine Theory and Applications Chania, Crete, Greece, July 14 1999

We would like to invite you to submit an extended abstract or a paper and participate in a special workshop on "Support Vector Machine (SVM) theory and applications" to be held in Chania, Crete in Greece at the Advanced Course on Artificial Intelligence 1999 (ACAI '99) on July 14, 1999. The workshop will take place during the afternoon session of ACAI'99, taking place 5-16 July, planned to start at 14:30 and finish at 18:00. In the morning session, 8:30-13:00, there will be a course on satistical learning theory and support vector machines by V. Vapnik (AT&T Research). There will also be an invited talk during the workshop by T. Poggio.

SVMs have increased in popularity over the past few years due to their solid theoretical foundations and their state-of-the-art performance in a number of applications. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in SVM and people interested in learning about SVM to discuss:

recent theoretical advances novel implementations relationships with other learning techniques applications open problems and future directions
