Call for papers for Special Issue on Creative Evolutionary Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------ Guest editors: Peter J Bentley and David W Corne A growing and exciting area of evolutionary computation is its application in creative areas such as architecture, art, music, and design. This special issue in Applied Intelligence (the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks and Complex Problem-Solving Technologies) will bring together the most advanced work in the general use of evolutionary computation for creative results. Papers should contain original and unpublished material, describing the use of evolutionary techniques such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming, memetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies and evolutionary programming, for the generation of innovative/creative solutions or to provide support for our own creative processes. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: - Creative evolutionary design, for example: evolution of non-routine/creative/conceptual design evolvable hardware evolutionary architecture evolution of novel control systems/neural networks evolution of novel forms/structures/robot bodies/artificial life - Evolutionary art, for example: evolution of drawings, images, sculptures, animations evolution of dance, poetry - Evolutionary music, for example: evolutionary composition the use of evolution for music production evolving simulations of voices/instruments - Supporting human creativity, for example: new methods to explore solution spaces with evolution techniques to enhance our ideas and innovative solutions explorations of the impact of these techniques on people investigations of interfacing issues between creative evolutionary systems and people - Theory, for example: defining the difference between optimization and creativity by evolution understanding how evolution can be creative and how these abilities can be improved creation of new representations and other techniques to enable innovation by evolution Important Dates: ---------------- Now Declaration of interest from authors. 28th February 00 Paper submission deadline 30th April 00 Initial Notification 30th June 00 Deadline for revisions of accepted papers Late 2000 Special issue appears Please send the paper and all correspondence via email to either guest editor at: P.Bentley@cs.ucl.ac.uk or D.W.Corne@reading.ac.uk Further details are available on-line at: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/P.Bentley/cresys.html ===================================================================== This message was sent through the Genetic Programming mailing list.

C A L L F O R P A P E R S ================================= GECCO-2000 Workshop On Data Mining With Evolutionary Algorithms. Las Vegas, NV, USA. Saturday July 8, 2000. The goal of this half-day workshop is to discuss research integrating the areas of data mining and evolutionary algorithms. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Evolutionary algorithms (EA) for classification, clustering, dependence modelling, regression, time series and other data mining tasks Extraction of comprehensible, interesting knowledge with EA Scaling up EA for very large databases Parallel and/or distributed EA Comparison between EA and other data mining methods Genetic operators tailored for data mining tasks Incorporating domain knowledge in EA Integrating EA with database systems Data mining with evolutionary, intelligent agents Hybrid (neural-genetic, rule induction-genetic, etc.) EA Uncertainty handling with EA Data pre-processing (e.g. data cleaning, attribute selection) with EA Post-processing of the discovered knowledge with EA Mining semi-structured or unstructed data (e.g. text mining) with EA Speakers will be selected via submission of short papers. Position papers are also welcome. Papers will be selected by an international program committee. This is the second workshop on this theme. The first one, the AAAI-99 & GECCO-99 Workshop on Data Mining with Evolutionary Algorithms, was attended by about 45 people. It consisted of six papers presentations, and the proceedings of the workshop were published by AAAI Press as the Technical Report WS-99-06 (ISBN: 1-57735-09001). The GECCO-2000 Workshop will be a "follow up" of the AAAI-99 & GECCO-99 Workshop. We are organizing a half-day workshop. The registration fee for the workshop is included in the conference registration fee. Submitted papers must have at most four pages. A postscript version of the paper must be e-mailed to the chairman by February 11. Important Dates: Paper submission: February 11 Acceptance/Rejection notification: March 8 Camera-ready copy submission: April 1 GECCO-2000 (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conf.) will be held in Las Vegas, Riviera Hotel, NV, USA, July 8-12 (Saturday - Wednesday), 2000. GECCO-2000 will present the latest high-quality research results in the growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation. The GECCO-99 conference attracted 619 attendees and was the largest and most comprehensive conference in the field of genetic and evolutionary computation. GECCO-2000 will be the inaugural conference of the recently formed International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (www.isgec.org). The new society and the GECCO conference bring together the oldest society in the field of evolutionary computation (ISGA) as well as the two largest conferences in the field (the Genetic Programming Conference and the International Conference on Genetic Algorithms). Twelve workshops (included in conference registration fee) will be held on Saturday July 8, 2000; 24 tutorials (included in conference registration fee) will be given on Sunday July 9; and presentation of papers will occur on July 10 - 12 (Monday - Wednesday).

GP has been applied successfully to a large number of difficult problems like automatic design, pattern recognition, robotic control, synthesis of neural networks, symbolic regression, music and picture generation, etc. EuroGP2000 is the biggest event devoted to genetic programming to be held in Europe. It is a high quality conference where state-of-the-art work on the theory of GP and applications of GP to real world problems will be presented. It is the third of its kind following EuroGP'98 which took place in Paris and EuroGP'99 in Sweden. Like the two previous workshops, EuroGP2000 is organised by EvoGP, the genetic programming working group of EvoNET, the Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing. The aims are to give European and non-European researchers in the area of genetic programming as well as people from industry an opportunity to present their latest research and discuss current developments and applications. EuroGP2000 and the EvoWorkshops2000 (17 April) will be held in conjunction with ICES2000 (Monday 17 - Wednesday 18 April) and the Edinburgh International Science Festival. Topics of interest at EuroGP2000 include: Theoretical developments Experimental results on performance and behaviour of GP runs New algorithms, representations and operators Applications of GP to real-life problems Hybrid architectures including GP components Comparisons with other machine learning or program-induction techniques New libraries and implementations The material in papers must represent substantially new work that has not been previously published by conferences, journals, or edited books etc. in the field of evolutionary computation. By submitting a camera-ready final paper to the conference, the authors agree that substantially the same material will not be published by another conference in the field (however, material may conceivably be later revised and submitted to an EC journal or material may be submitted to a non-EC conference, such as an applications conference). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fee summary Remember that to qualify for the early registration fees you must register before March 15.

William B. Langdon, CWI Panel (to date): Mike Cattolico, Tiger Mountain Scientific, Inc. James Foster, University of Idaho David Goldberg, University of Illinois William B Langdon, CWI, Amsterdam Una-May O'Reilly, MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab Conor Ryan, University of Limerick Moshe Sipper, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Date of Student Workshop: Saturday 8th July, 2000 Location: Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, USA Deadline for Submissions: Monday, April 3rd, 2000 Submissions: Submissions may be made by email ONLY, of up to four pages in either postscript or pdf format to Conor.Ryan@ul.ie. Selection of the presenting students and final decisions concerning the workshop will be made shortly after submission. DETAILS This single day workshop will involve approximately 12 selected students researching any aspect of Evolutionary Algorithms presenting a 15-20 minute synopisis of their current research to a mentor panel, other students and other selected participants. Each presentation will be followed by questions and discussion prompted by the mentor panel. A limited number of other students will be invited to attend the workshop where they will have an opportunity to join in discussions. This format is intended to offer feedback from the panel to the presenters regarding their results, methodology, future directions and presentation style. It should benefit other attendees in terms of learning about the work of others, engaging in technical discussions and meeting researchers with related interests. Workshops with approximately the same goals and format was held at previous GP/Gecco events and were strongly endorsed by both faculty and student participants. To be eligible to present at this workshop you must submit a paper up to four pages long describing your thesis work involving any area of Evolutionary Algorithms including existing intermediate results. Your submission should be authored solely by you (and your advisor or supervisor if protocol demands). The group of presenting students will be chosen by the panel with the intent of creating a diverse group of students working on a broad range of topic areas. You are an ideal candidate if your thesis topic has already been approved by your university and you have been working on your thesis for between 6 and 18 months. You are also a strong candidate if genetic programming has a role in an undergraduate project or thesis. Importantly, even if you are not chosen to present, you will be considered for invitation to the workshop and you can expect to derive a lot of benefit from attending. Participation will be limited to preserve the discussion quality of the workshop but students who submit a paper will receive highest consideration. The papers submitted by students who participate in the workshop and/or presentation sessions will be printed in the GECCO Workshop Papers book. This workshop is part of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation 2000 Conference (GECCO-2000). The conference will be held in Las Vegas, Riviera Hotel, Nevada, USA, July 8-12 (Saturday - Wednesday),2000. GECCO-2000 will present the latest high-quality research results in the growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation. GECCO-2000 will be the inaugural conference of the recently formed International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (www.isgec.org). The new society and the GECCO conference bring together the oldest society in the field of evolutionary computation (ISGA) as well as the two largest conferences in the field (the Genetic Programming Conference and the International Conference on Genetic Algorithms). Various workshops (included in conference registration fee) will be held on Saturday July 8, 2000; 24 tutorials (included in conference registration fee) will be given on Sunday July 9; and presentation of papers will occur on July 10 - 12 (Monday - Wednesday). For more information about hotels, travel, student travel grants, see the conference's WWW pages at http://www.genetic-algorithm.org/GECCO2000/gecco2000mainpage.htm ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - this workshop is entirely distinct from submitting to the GECCO conference. You can do both! - your paper can overlap with any paper you've submitted anywhere else - your paper *must* relate some aspect of your thesis - there is a strong possibility of travel grants to authors of accepted submissions. Our goal is a high level of participation by students. - all topics acceptable in the original GECCO cfp are eligible for consideration at the workshop. See the main GECCO page for a list of topics.

William B. Langdon, CWI Panel (to date): Forrest H Bennett III, FX Palo Alto Laboratory, Inc. Mike Cattolico, Tiger Mountain Scientific, Inc. James Foster, University of Idaho David Goldberg, University of Illinois William B Langdon, CWI, Amsterdam Julian Miller, University of Birmingham Una-May O'Reilly, MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab Riccardo Poli, University of Birmingham Conor Ryan, University of Limerick Moshe Sipper, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Date of Student Workshop: Saturday 8th July, 2000 Location: Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, USA Deadline for Submissions: Monday, April 3rd, 2000 Submissions: Submissions may be made by email ONLY, in either postscript or pdf format to Conor.Ryan@ul.ie. Selection of the presenting students and final decisions concerning the workshop will be made shortly after submission. GECCO has travel seed grants for approximately 50 students; student presenting papers at the conference and in the Graduate Student Workshop will have first priority for funding. DETAILS This single day workshop will involve approximately 12 selected students researching any aspect of Evolutionary Algorithms presenting a 15-20 minute synopisis of their current research to a mentor panel, other students and other selected participants. Each presentation will be followed by questions and discussion prompted by the mentor panel. A limited number of other students will be invited to attend the workshop where they will have an opportunity to join in discussions. This format is intended to offer feedback from the panel to the presenters regarding their results, methodology, future directions and presentation style. It should benefit other attendees in terms of learning about the work of others, engaging in technical discussions and meeting researchers with related interests. Workshops with approximately the same goals and format was held at previous GP/Gecco events and were strongly endorsed by both faculty and student participants. To be eligible to present at this workshop you must submit a paper up to four pages long describing your thesis work involving any area of Evolutionary Algorithms including existing intermediate results. Your submission should be authored solely by you (and your advisor or supervisor if protocol demands). The group of presenting students will be chosen by the panel with the intent of creating a diverse group of students working on a broad range of topic areas. You are an ideal candidate if your thesis topic has already been approved by your university and you have been working on your thesis for between 6 and 18 months. You are also a strong candidate if genetic programming has a role in an undergraduate project or thesis. Importantly, even if you are not chosen to present, you will be considered for invitation to the workshop and you can expect to derive a lot of benefit from attending. Participation will be limited to preserve the discussion quality of the workshop but students who submit a paper will receive highest consideration. The papers submitted by students who participate in the workshop and/or presentation sessions will be printed in the GECCO Workshop Papers book. This workshop is part of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation 2000 Conference (GECCO-2000). The conference will be held in Las Vegas, Riviera Hotel, Nevada, USA, July 8-12 (Saturday - Wednesday),2000. GECCO-2000 will present the latest high-quality research results in the growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation. GECCO-2000 will be the inaugural conference of the recently formed International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (www.isgec.org). The new society and the GECCO conference bring together the oldest society in the field of evolutionary computation (ISGA) as well as the two largest conferences in the field (the Genetic Programming Conference and the International Conference on Genetic Algorithms). Various workshops (included in conference registration fee) will be held on Saturday July 8, 2000; 24 tutorials (included in conference registration fee) will be given on Sunday July 9; and presentation of papers will occur on July 10 - 12 (Monday - Wednesday). For more information about hotels, travel, student travel grants, see the conference's WWW pages at http://www.genetic-algorithm.org/GECCO2000/gecco2000mainpage.htm ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - this workshop is entirely distinct from submitting to the GECCO conference. You can do both! - your paper can overlap with any paper you've submitted anywhere else - your paper *must* relate some aspect of your thesis - there is a strong possibility of travel grants to authors of accepted submissions. Our goal is a high level of participation by students. - all topics acceptable in the original GECCO cfp are eligible for consideration at the workshop. See the main GECCO page for a list of topics.

To mark this great event, the Brazilian AI Community has decided to organize a Special International Joint Conference which will put toghether SBIA'2000 (the Brazilian AI Symposium) and IBERAMIA'2000 (the Ibero- American AI Conference). SBIA'2000 is the 15th conference of the SBIA conference series, which is the leading conference in Brazil for presentation of research and applications in Artificial Intelligence. Since 1995, SBIA has become an international conference, with papers written in English, an international program committee, and proceedings published in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series of Springer-Verlag (SBIA'95:991, SBIA'96:1159, SBIA'98:1515). IBERAMIA'2000 is the 7th conference of the IBERAMIA conference series, which has been one of the most suitable forum to ibero-american AI researchers (from South and Central America countries, Mexico, Spain and Portugal) present their results. Following the SBIA and EPIA (Portuguese Conference on AI) experiences, from IBERAMIA'98 on, it has also become an international conference (LNAI:1484). TOPICS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IBERAMIA/SBIA 2000 topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Knowledge Enginnering and Case Based Reasoning 2. Planning and Scheduling 3. Distributed AI and Multi-Agent Systems 4. AI in Education and Intelligent Tutoring Systems 5. Knowledge Representation and Reasoning 6. Machine Learning and Knowledge Acquisition 7. Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 8. Natural Language Processing 9. Robotics 10. Computer Vision 11. Uncertainty and Fuzzy Systems 12. Genetic Algorithms and Neural Networks 13. Foundations (economics, philosophy, etc.) EVENTS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The conference will consist of: . main conference . associated workshops . tutorials . best MsC dissertation and Phd thesis contest The main conference will be structured along two main modules: . open discussion track . paper track The open discussion track is composed of working sessions devoted to the most important areas of research in Ibero-American countries. Papers submitted to this open discussion track may be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English; they will be reviewed and published in a local edition. The paper track is composed of invited talks and paper presentations from all over the world, covering all topics listed above. Proceedings of this paper track will be published in Springer Verlag's LNCS/LNAI series. Concerning the workshops, a specific call for proposals will be available by the end of January. However, two workshops are already confirmed, as they have been periodically held in the last editions of SBIA and IBERAMIA: . 3rd. Ibero-American Workshop in Distributed AI and Multi-Agent Systems chair: Luis Otavio Alvares (II/UFRGS) . 4th. Workshop on Automatic Processing of Written and Spoken Portuguese chair: Maria das Gracas Volpe Nunes (ICMC/USP) We are planning to have both advanced and introductory tutorials. A specific call for proposals will be available soon. We are also planning to have the first edition of the Latin America Robocup, with demonstrations of both the simulation and small size league. More details will be given soon. The chair of this event is Guilherme Bittencourt (LCMI/UFSC). Finally, we will organize the 2nd Best Msc dissertation/ Phd thesis contest (CTDIA'2000). Its main goal is to award the best academic work which was developped in Universities belonging to Ibero-American countries. The chair of this event is Solange Oliveira Rezende (LABIC/ICMC/USP).

CHALLENGE MATCHES Registrants at the Congress will have the opportunity to play challenge matches against an evolved neural network checkers' playing program. You will be able to play timed matches with the program, with the first person to defeat the program, using only his or her own brain power i.e. no kibitzing and no assistance from another computer program, wins a prize of $100. Players must be presenting a paper at CEC2000. For more information please refer to http://pcgipseca.cee.hw.ac.uk/cec2000/challenges.html 2. COMPETITIONS There will be four competitions at CEC2000. 1.Reason vs Evolution: Prisoner's Dilemma Competition 2.Time series prediction competitions 3.Dow Jones Prediction Competition 4.Visualization Competition The rules for each competition, including deadlines and submission formats can be found at http://www.math.iastate.edu/danwell/CEC2000/comp.html Kind regards CEC2000 Publicity Chair -- Ibrahim Kuscu, Bsc, MBA, MSc, PhD.

Late-breaking papers will be published in a late-breaking papers book to be distributed to all conference attendees. This special book is distinct from the conference proceedings published by Morgan Kaufmann. In addition, each accepted late-breaking paper will be presented in a 10-15 minute oral presentation (depending on number of acceptances) in a special track devoted entirely to late-breaking papers. The deadline for arrival of camera-ready papers at AAAI offices is Monday May 29, 2000. GECCO-2000 Late Breaking Papers c/o AAAI, 445 Burgess Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA. Phone: 650-328-3123. FAX: 650-321-4457. E-MAIL: gecco@aaai.org. Because of the lack of time for revision, late-breaking papers must be submitted in fully compliant camera-ready form along with a signed "permission to publish" form. Late-breaking papers must be no more than 8 pages in length. No FAX or E-mail submissions can be accepted. Submissions will be subjected to an abbreviated "accept or reject" review process based on content, quality, novelty, relevance, and full compliance with the requirements for camera-ready papers. To submit a late-breaking paper to GECCO-2000, send (A) two (2) camera-ready copies (printed with very high quality by laser printer), (B) the SIGNED "permission to publish" form (available at GECCO-2000 web site), and (C) if at least one author of the paper has not already registered to attend the GECCO-2000 conference, a registration form and payment for at least one author must accompany the submission. Authors of late-breaking papers will retain copyright (and all other rights) to their late-breaking papers and should feel free to submit them elsewhere (either before or after the above deadline) for publication. Since there will be no opportunity for revisions, authors should be especially careful that their original submission is fully compliant with all requirements above and contained in the Call for Late-Breaking Papers on the GECCO-2000 home page.

In addition, each accepted late-breaking paper will be presented in a 10-15 minute oral presentation (depending on number of acceptances) in a special track devoted entirely to late-breaking papers. The deadline for arrival of camera-ready papers at AAAI offices is Monday May 29, 2000. GECCO-2000 Late Breaking Papers c/o AAAI, 445 Burgess Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA. Phone: 650-328-3123. FAX: 650-321-4457. E-MAIL: gecco@aaai.org. Because of the lack of time for revision, late-breaking papers must be submitted in fully compliant camera-ready form along with a signed "permission to publish" form. Late-breaking papers must be no more than 8 pages in length. No FAX or E-mail submissions can be accepted. Submissions will be subjected to an abbreviated "accept or reject" review process based on content, quality, novelty, relevance, and full compliance with the requirements for camera-ready papers. To submit a late-breaking paper to GECCO-2000, send (A) two (2) camera-ready copies (printed with very high quality by laser printer), (B) the SIGNED "permission to publish" form (available at GECCO-2000 web site), and (C) if at least one author of the paper has not already registered to attend the GECCO-2000 conference, a registration form and payment for at least one author must accompany the submission. Authors of late-breaking papers will retain copyright (and all other rights) to their late-breaking papers and should feel free to submit them elsewhere (either before or after the above deadline) for publication. Since there will be no opportunity for revisions, authors should be especially careful that their original submission is fully compliant with all requirements above and contained in the Call for Late-Breaking Papers on the GECCO-2000 home page.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Machine Learning for Information Extraction Monday, 21 August 2000 to be held in conjunction with the 14th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2000, Berlin, HUMBOLDT UNIVERSITY, August 20th - 25th 2000, http://www.ecai2000.hu-berlin.de/) Abstract The exponential increase in the quantity of textual information held in digital archives has fuelled growing interest in computer-assisted techniques for information extraction from text (IE). IE systems, as understood by the applied natural language processing community, identify predetermined relevant information in text documents from some specific domain. Once extracted, the information can be used for a number of purposes: database population, text indexing, information highlighting, and so on. While significant progress in constructing such systems has been made, stimulated in particular by the DARPA Message Understanding Conferences, by general agreement the main barriers to wider use and commercialisation of IE are the difficulties in adapting systems to new applications and domains. Porting IE systems is generally both difficult and expensive, given the current technology, since changes generally need to be carried out manually by highly skilled experts. Moreover some sources (e.g. Web pages) may change very rapidly in both format and content. Tracking all the changes and continuously re-adapting IE systems is very expensive or even unfeasible if done manually. To address these difficulties there has been increasing interest in applying machine learning (ML) techniques to Information Extraction from text. Tasks to which ML has been applied include template design, template filling, named entity recognition and resource compilation (e.g. lexicons, knowledge structures, grammars). The kind of sources analysed range from structured texts (e.g. Web pages) to semi-structured texts (e.g. rental ads) to free texts (e.g. newspaper articles). ML techniques which have been used range from symbolic (e.g. inductive logic programming, transformation-based learning, etc.) to numerical methods (e.g. naive-Bayes, maximum entropy, etc.).However, the current situation is characterized by isolated experiments in which individual ML techniques are applied to specific IE tasks. What is lacking is a unifying view of the issue of adopting ML techniques for IE. The proposed workshop aims to establish a forum for discussing current and future trends of the application of ML to IE, with a specific focus on the identification of a unifying view of the issue. The workshop has the following goals: - to bring together communities of researchers that address the ML for IE problem from different perspectives (e.g., natural language processing, information retrieval, machine learning, information integration); - to deepen the European IE community's understanding of the state of the art; - to identify further IE-related problems for which ML techniques might be appropriate. Particularly welcomed are contributions concerning: - descriptions of techniques adaptable for different languages, tasks and/or text typologies; - proposals of unifying views on the current or future application of ML to IE. In the interest of promoting as much discussion as possible, the number of paper presentations will be limited in favour of panels and posters. A final panel will discuss the research agenda for the coming years. Attendance will be limited to 30 participants Organizers: - Fabio Ciravegna (contact) ITC-irst, Centro per la Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica, Trento, Italy (cirave@irst.itc.it) - Roberto Basili Universitity of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy (basili@info.uniroma2.it), - Robert Gaizauskas, University of Sheffield, UK (R.Gaizauskas@dcs.shef.ac.uk) Important dates Submission deadline: 12 March 2000 Notification of acceptance: 7 May 2000 Camera-ready versions of accepted papers due: 7 June 2000 For details on submission and for last minute information see the workshop home page at http://ecate.itc.it:1025/cirave/ecai-workshop.html For any information please contact Fabio Ciravegna (cirave@irst.itc.it) _____________________________________________________________ Fabio Ciravegna - cirave@irst.itc.it ITC/irst, Istituto per la Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica Loc.
