Ninth International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems (IWLCS 2006) - CFP

7 December 2005

Seattle, WA, USA, July 8-9, 2006. To be held during the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2006), July 8-12, 2006.

Since Learning Classifier Systems (LCSs) were introduced by Holland as a way of applying evolutionary computation to machine learning problems, the LCS paradigm has broadened greatly into a framework encompassing many representations, rule discovery mechanisms, and credit assignment schemes. Current LCS applications range from data mining to automated innovation to on-line control. Classifier systems are a very active area of research, with newer approaches, in particular Wilson’s accuracy-based XCS, receiving a great deal of attention. LCS are also benefiting from advances in the field of reinforcement learning, and there is a trend toward developing connections between the two areas.

We invite submissions which discuss recent developments in all areas of research on, and applications of, Learning Classifier Systems.

IWLCS is the only event to bring together most of the core researchers in classifier systems. A free introductory tutorial on LCS will be presented at GECCO 2006.

Submissions

There are two possibilities for paper submissions. Both will be peer reviewed, but reviews of short papers will be mainly to provide feedback to authors - we expect most or all will be accepted.

1) Short papers of up to 4 pages may be submitted. Accepted short papers will be presented at the workshop and published in the GECCO workshop volume. The format of the GECCO workshop volume is to be confirmed but we expect it will be the ACM format used in 2005. After the workshop authors will be invited to submit full papers which are reviewed again for the post-workshop proceedings, which we plan to publish in Springer’s LNAI series as in past years.

2) Full papers of up to 20 pages (in Springer format) may be submitted for peer review before the workshop. Accepted full papers will be presented at the workshop and will be published in the post-workshop proceedings. Authors of full papers have a choice of how to contribute to the GECCO workshop volume: either i) prepare a short version for GECCO or ii) publish only your abstract in the GECCO book. If you prefer i) we would suggest an extended abstract of 1 or 2 pages, but anything up to 50% of the full paper is ok.

Papers should be submitted as PDF files e-mailed to iwlcs@cas.dis.titech.ac.jp.

Important dates

Please note: all dates are to be confirmed.

Camera Ready for GECCO 2006 Workshop Proceedings

The camera-ready papers should be formated following the instructions provided by GECCO. Failing to comply will result in exclusion from the proceedings. The proceedings will only be published on CD-ROM. Camera-ready papers must be submitted using the GECCO-2006 Submission & Review site at https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/gecco2006/.

Advances at the frontier of LCS (Volume I) is coming

1 December 2005

The final editing of the volume Advances at the frontier of LCS to be published by Springer is advancing at steady pace. The volume is going to be an overview of the research LCS and other GBML presented at IWLCS. The volume will cover 2003, 2004, and 2005 contributions.

So far, these are the raw numbers for 2003 and 2004 contributions:

The decisions about 2005 will be out soon. We will keep you posted

The Alwyn Barry’s LCS web site

29 November 2005

The LCSWeb site is designed to allow researchers and those seeking to use Learning Classifier Systems within applications access to material on LCS and discussion between members of the LCS community. The site has served this community since its was started by Alwyn Barry in 1997, and has become a valued resource.

The recent changes allow community members to contribute to the website and maintain its value by adding their own information and keeping items up to date. The success of this site will therefore, more than ever before, depend on you. Please remember to participate. If you are visiting this site for the first time since its relaunch, please have a look at some introductory comments.

The LCSWeb can be found here

Camera ready instructions for IWLCS 2003 and 2004 proceedings

7 November 2005

Springer has agreed to publish the compilation volume Advances in Learning Classifier Systems (the title may be slightly changed) including contributions from the International Workshop of Learning Classifier Systems in its editions of 2003, 2004, and 2005. This volume will present an overview of the work presented in the last three years of the workshop and will include up to 30 contributions.

The deadline for the camera-ready of your contribution to IWLCS was initially set to November 15. Due to the previous delay, we would extend this deadline until November 25 for your convenience. Please do not to hesitate to get in touch if you may not be able to reach this deadline. Due to the size of this volume, we would like to stick to this deadline to be able to have the volume ready for the next workshop edition in Seattle.

For further instructions about how to prepare your camera ready please check the Springer format instructions for authors at

Contributions should not exceed 20 pages. Authors providing camera- readies that do not complain with the LNCS format or exceed the maximum number of pages will be ask to resubmit them, and may not be included if time constraints do not allow us to do so.

Eighth International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems (IWLCS 2005) - CFP

28 February 2005

Washington, D.C., USA, June 25, 2005. To be held during the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2005), June 25-29, 2005.

Since Learning Classifier Systems (LCSs) were introduced by Holland as a way of applying evolutionary computation to machine learning problems, the LCS paradigm has broadened greatly into a framework encompassing many representations, rule discovery mechanisms, and credit assignment schemes. Current LCS applications range from data mining to automated innovation to on-line control. Classifier systems are currently enjoying a renaissance, with newer approaches, in particular Wilson’s accuracy-based XCS, receiving a great deal of attention. LCS are also benefiting from advances in the field of reinforcement learning, and there is a trend toward developing connections between the two areas.

We invite submissions which discuss recent developments in all areas of research on, and applications of, Learning Classifier Systems.

IWLCS is the only event to bring together most of the core researchers in classifier systems. Two free tutorials on LCS will be presented at GECCO 2005: an introductory tutorial on LCS in general and an advanced tutorial on XCS.

Special Session on Challenges for the Field

What are the key challenges, issues, limitations, technologies and directions for LCS research? We plan a special session consisting of 5 minute presentations on challenges for the field and how to solve them. If interested, please send your name and title of your presentation to the organisers by April 10, 2005.

Submissions

Accepted papers will appear in the GECCO 2005 workshop volume distributed at the conference, and, as in previous years, we intend to publish selected papers in a post-workshop proceedings in Springer’s LNAI series.

There are two possibilities for paper submissions. Short papers of up to 4 pages may be submitted. Short papers will be peer reviewed and those accepted will be presented at the workshop. After the workshop the authors will have to submit full papers which are reviewed again for the post-workshop proceedings.

Alternatively, full papers of up to 20 pages may be submitted for peer review before the workshop. All accepted full papers will be presented at the workshop and will be published in the post-workshop proceedings.

All papers should be in LNAI format. A PDF file containing the paper should be e-mailed to iwlcs@cas.dis.titech.ac.jp by the 10th of April 2005.

Camera ready for GECCO’2005 workshop proceedings

Accepted short papers will be published in the GECCO workshop book. Authors of long papers have a choice: either i) prepare a short version for GECCO or ii) send them only your abstract for the GECCO book. If you prefer i) I would suggest an extended abstract of 1 or 2 pages, but anything up to 75% of the full paper is ok.

All papers need to be format following the ACM camera-ready directives of all accepted workshop papers should be submitted by April 26 for their inclusion in the GECCO 2005 workshop proceedings. It is important to note that those papers needs to be format following ACM directives. Further instructions for the preparation of the workshop papers can be found at http://www.sheridanprinting.com/typedept/gecco1.htm.

Remember to include the proper ACM conference information
