DM: UIUC workshop on adaptive computation: abstracts, some talks online

[William Henry Hsu]

On Thursday, April 22, 1999 (1-5 PM) at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, the Artificial Neural Networks and Computational Brain Theory (ANNCBT) group and the Illinois Working Group on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (IWGGEC) held their first joint workshop, "Adaptive Computation at UIUC":

This campus-wide workshop surveyed recent and continuing research on artificial neural networks, genetic and evolutionary computation, probabilistic reasoning (Bayesian networks and Bayesian inference), intelligent agents, distributed artificial intelligence, hybrid models, neuroscience, and cognitive science. Applications and demos were presented in the areas of machine learning, data mining and knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), optimization, and control.

Some 80 faculty and graduate students attended, with 30 of them presenting short (3-10 minute) research synopses and demos during the half-day event. All of the abstracts, and some of the collected slides and related papers, are now archived online at:

If any particular research projects interest you, please send mail to jointworkshop@ncsa.uiuc.edu and we will put you in touch with the author(s).

Cheers,
William Hsu
