GECCO 2011: Genetics-Based Machine Learning Track Announcement and CFP

GBML call for papers for GECCO 2011

Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) is one of the most prestigious double-blind peer review conference in Evolutionary Computation. Based on its impact factor, GECCO is 11th in the rankings of 701 international conferences in artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and human-computer interactions. During 2011, GECCO will take place in the beautiful city of Dublin, Ireland between the 12th and 16th of July.

GECCO 2011: Call for Papers on Genetics-Based Machine Learning (GBML)

Deadline: January 26, 2011

2011 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2011)

July 12-16, Dublin, Ireland


The Genetics-Based Machine Learning (GBML) track encompasses advancements and new developments in any system that addresses machine learning problems with evolutionary computation methods. Combinations of machine learning with evolutionary computation techniques are particularly welcome.

Machine Learning (ML) presents an array of paradigms — unsupervised, semi-supervised, supervised, and reinforcement learning — which frame a wide range of clustering, classification, regression, prediction and control tasks. The combination of the global search capabilities of Evolutionary Computation with the reinforcement abilities of ML underlies these problem solving tools.

The field of Learning Classifier Systems (LCS), introduced by John Holland in the 1970s, is one of the most active and best-developed forms of GBML and we welcome all work on LCSs. Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) are another family of techniques included in this track, which takes inspiration of different immunological mechanisms in vertebrates in order to solve computational problems. Moreover, neuroevolution technologies, which combine neural network techniques with evolutionary computation, are welcome. However, also any other related technique or approach will be considered gladly. See the list of suggested (but not limited to) topics at:

For GECCO-2011, we wish to expand the list of usual tracks with one New Frontiers Tracks (NFTs). The goal of New Frontiers Tracks is to allow our community to explore emerging, exciting new ideas that relate or impinge into Genetic and Evolutionary Computation and Natural Computing.Thus, we are delighted to invite for NFTs proposals.

NEW FRONTIERS TRACK PROPOSAL FORMAT

Proposals should include a track title, the list of up to two co-chairs and an abstract of max 1000 characters. The abstract should both (i) describe the track focus and (ii) point out why the track should be added to GECCO.

SUBMISSION

Proposals for NFTs should be submitted to Natalio Krasnogor (Natalio.Krasnogor@Nottingham.ac.uk) with subject‚ “GECCO 2011 NFT Proposal”‚ not later than 30th June 2010.

SELECTION

The list of all NFTs will be in display at GECCO 2010 and a ballot (details to be announced later) will be carried out during GECCO 2010.Prospective chairs will be allowed to submit a one minute video to support their track. The videos will be put on-line on the GECCO-2011 website.The most voted NFT will be selected for inclusion into GECCO 2011 program. The selected NFT will have the same status, editorial procedures and quality control as normal GECCO tracks. NFTs are expected to run for one year only.We believe this to be an exciting opportunity for the community to explore innovative, perhaps risky & adventurous research topics, within the framework of the top conference in the field. Hence, we very much look forward for a strong response from the community to this call for New Frontiers Track proposals!
