Benelearn deadline

Benelearn is the annual machine learning conference of Belgium and the Netherlands. It serves as a forum for researchers to exchange ideas, present recent work, network and foster collaboration in machine learning, knowledge discovery in databases and data mining research and applications. Benelearn 2011 will take place on May 20 at the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) in the Hague. It is organized by the Data Mining Group at LIACS, Leiden University and the Knowledge and Expertise Center for Intelligent Data Analysis (KECIDA), NFI.

Compared to previous years, Benelearn 2011 will have an increased focus on its role as a forum for the machine learning community. The plenary program will feature a selection of the best full papers contributed, and invited talks covering broad subjects (tutorial or survey style), as well as a poster session. This format is intended to make Benelearn more compact (1-day), more intense, and more relevant for a wider audience, including both junior and senior researchers, from both academia and industry, covering research as well as applications of machine learning.
